Summary

After several days of stonewalling, the White House has finally weighed in on the baby formula shortage. Who's running point? Is it the Department of Homeland Security? Or the Justice Department? Or is it the Supreme Court?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Our nation's supply of baby formula has fallen by 40%.
00:00:03.680 This is now an acute problem throughout the United States.
00:00:07.100 And after several days of stonewalling, the White House is finally weighing in on it.
00:00:13.500 Who's running point on the formula issue at the White House?
00:00:16.520 You mentioned the White House as a problem.
00:00:17.540 I mean, at the White House, I don't know.
00:00:20.920 I can find out for you and get you a person who's running point.
00:00:24.420 But I don't have a person in there.
00:00:26.160 Yeah, okay, maybe the starving babies you want to talk about?
00:00:31.120 Sure, yeah, I guess I can ask.
00:00:33.060 That's Corrine Jean-Pierre, the incoming White House press secretary,
00:00:36.920 who already has us longing for the days of Jen Psaki.
00:00:40.560 I would gladly take endless circling back over laughs and giggles and guffaws at starving babies any day.
00:00:48.380 But it looks like we have already identified the White House point person on baby formula.
00:00:53.700 Looks like the person who is the point person is the secretary of Homeland Security,
00:01:00.080 according to Republican Congressman Kat Kamek.
00:01:03.460 Absolutely have to share with you right now is the craziness of the empty shelves Biden movement
00:01:09.040 and the fact that they are sending pallets, pallets of baby formula to the border.
00:01:15.640 Meanwhile, in our own district at home, we cannot find baby formula.
00:01:20.620 This is a picture from a Target.
00:01:23.640 Oh, it's upside down. Sorry.
00:01:26.160 Okay.
00:01:26.900 We literally are struggling to find baby formula around the country.
00:01:32.160 Moms are struggling going from store to store to store.
00:01:35.220 And then the stores are actually capping the amount of baby formula that they will sell them.
00:01:40.700 But, and this got sent to me by a Border Patrol agent this morning and said,
00:01:46.340 this is disgusting.
00:01:47.920 You will not believe this.
00:01:49.180 They're receiving pallets and more pallets of baby formula at the border.
00:01:57.140 This was taken at Ursula processing facility where thousands are being housed and processed
00:02:04.760 and then released subsequently into the United States.
00:02:08.660 This is so deeply offensive.
00:02:11.460 The White House is sending baby formula to foreign nationals who are in the process of breaking our laws
00:02:18.520 while American mothers are driving for hours to try to find some for their own babies.
00:02:26.120 I'm not suggesting that we let the little illegal alien babies starve.
00:02:30.180 But to give the baby formula to foreign criminals before law-abiding citizens, what are we going to do?
00:02:38.520 How about we expeditiously send the illegal aliens back across the border to their own countries so that they can get what they need over there?
00:02:47.320 This administration is pursuing a policy of completely open borders, the largest migrant influx in history.
00:02:54.380 So that's probably not going to happen.
00:02:56.060 Fine.
00:02:56.900 Then if the Biden administration is just going to release the illegal aliens into our country,
00:03:02.180 why doesn't he at least do it quickly so that they can get online and buy baby formula like all the actual Americans?
00:03:08.040 Why do they get to cut the line?
00:03:10.540 Why is Biden giving special priority, diverting the American supply of an essential product to foreign criminals and away from his own citizens?
00:03:19.900 Two reasons.
00:03:20.700 One, our ruling class hates its own citizens.
00:03:25.000 If starving our own babies doesn't prove that to you, I don't know what will.
00:03:28.460 And two, our rulers think they can get away with it because they think that they will never have to answer to the citizens.
00:03:35.400 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:03:36.420 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:03:38.040 Welcome back to the show.
00:03:45.760 My favorite comment yesterday is from Thought Criminal who says,
00:03:48.640 David's answer of I'm not a lawyer is just as feeble as certain women who say she is not a biologist when asked what a woman is.
00:03:56.820 Yes, I thought that was a pretty weak answer too.
00:03:59.460 But it did satisfy the point that I have at least in bringing liberals on the show,
00:04:04.180 which is I do not generally bring the libs on the show to own them with facts and logic, though sometimes that happens as a byproduct.
00:04:11.200 I bring the libs on the show to hear the opposing view.
00:04:15.460 I want to hear the strongest version of the opposing view.
00:04:18.060 I want to see if I am just deluding myself in an echo chamber or if they've really got some strong argument against me.
00:04:25.280 So when David comes on the show, very kind of him to come on, and he says what the protesters are doing outside the Supreme Court justices' houses is not illegal.
00:04:34.680 And then I say, no, it is illegal.
00:04:36.800 Actually, I'll cite you the exact statute.
00:04:39.060 It's 18 U.S.C. section 1507.
00:04:41.700 And he says, well, I don't know.
00:04:43.060 I'm not a lawyer, so I don't believe you.
00:04:45.940 I don't believe that statute.
00:04:48.060 That's fine.
00:04:48.640 We don't really need to talk about it much further than that.
00:04:50.640 But when one says, I'm not a lawyer, I'm not a biologist, what that person is expressing, whether it's David or whether it's Ketanji Jackson, is you got me.
00:05:00.900 You got me.
00:05:01.600 I'm not going to give an answer here.
00:05:03.660 All right, whatever, moving on.
00:05:05.060 So that confirms something that I had already suspected, but I'm glad to know, which is the libs have no defense of this.
00:05:12.200 And David actually had the honesty to say, yeah, I do not encourage Democrats to do these.
00:05:17.120 There's no defense of it legally, politically.
00:05:21.720 It's just a big, big mistake.
00:05:23.540 It's just wrong, and the libs should absolutely admit it, okay?
00:05:28.140 Now, when you want to engage in these kind of conversations, not just virtually, but in person, you got to check out Daily Wire backstage live at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, June 29th.

00:07:14.140 All of these things that were called conspiracy theories weeks ago, months ago, within the last
00:07:25.020 two, three, four years, turns out that they're all true.
00:07:28.860 The food shortage was one of them.
00:07:30.420 They said, oh, there's no food shortages.
00:07:32.100 Don't worry about any of the problems at the food plants.
00:07:34.320 It's all a conspiracy theory.
00:07:35.820 Well, it doesn't look like a conspiracy theory now.
00:07:38.020 Forget about a food shortage.
00:07:39.240 We're talking about food for the most vulnerable people among us.
00:07:44.140 And what does the White House do?
00:07:45.900 They laugh about it.
00:07:46.620 They guffaw and they giggle.
00:07:48.100 Ha, ha, ha.
00:07:48.780 Tee, hee, hee, hee, hee.
00:07:50.740 Do you remember my other favorite conspiracy theory?
00:07:53.440 This one, I think the White House thought they were just going to brush this to the side
00:07:57.380 and ignore it.
00:08:00.240 Do you remember, was it a month ago, a month and a half ago, when the Biden administration
00:08:04.760 said that they were going to send out drug safety kits to a bunch of drug addicts around
00:08:14.200 the country?
00:08:15.280 They said that they were going to send out drug safety kits that included crack pipes.
00:08:20.580 And then we said, well, hold on, these things include crack pipes.
00:08:22.620 You're using taxpayer dollars to send crack pipes to crackheads?
00:08:25.360 And they said, we're not.
00:08:26.400 That's a crazy conspiracy theory.
00:08:28.120 What are you talking about?
00:08:29.440 The White House is still maintaining that position.
00:08:34.400 In February, that no money from a $30 million harm reduction program would fund distribution
00:08:40.680 of crack pipes in safe smoking kits.
00:08:43.320 The Washington Free Beacon reported that they went to harm reduction facilities in five cities
00:08:48.480 and all of those facilities had crack pipes in their kits.
00:08:53.220 HHS would not say which programs had applied for funding and the recipient list is not out
00:08:58.240 yet.
00:08:58.460 So I'm just wondering if the White House can say if any taxpayer dollars paid for these
00:09:03.220 crack pipes.
00:09:04.660 No federal funding has gone to it.
00:09:06.360 And is there any oversight to ensure that when that money goes out for the program that
00:09:09.900 these organizations will not use federal dollars for crack pipes?
00:09:14.100 This policy does not allow for crack pipes to be included.
00:09:17.420 I would just note that this is a bit of a conspiracy theory that's been spread out there.
00:09:21.200 It's not accurate.
00:09:22.400 There's important drug treatment programs for people who have been suffering from what we've
00:09:26.780 seen as an epidemic across the country and money is not used for crack pipes.
00:09:30.920 This is a conspiracy theory.
00:09:32.720 It's a total right wing conspiracy theory.
00:09:34.880 Did you hear the question though?
00:09:36.580 The question was the Washington Free Beacon has gone out to cities all around the country
00:09:41.400 to lots of these drug centers, the likes of which will receive the government money to
00:09:46.760 create these exact sorts of kits.
00:09:48.380 And they have crack pipes in them.
00:09:50.320 Just like I said, when this story first came out, when this story first came out, I said,
00:09:54.720 they're obviously funding the crack pipes.
00:09:56.920 And they said, no, no, that's not true.
00:09:59.080 And I said, well, I just Googled safe smoking kit.
00:10:01.480 And you saw all the fact check left wing articles.
00:10:04.680 No, safe smoking kits don't include crack pipes.
00:10:07.120 So then I changed the search parameters.
00:10:09.780 And I said, okay, only show me results up until a week ago before this scandal broke for the
00:10:16.500 White House.
00:10:17.000 What is a safe smoking kit?
00:10:18.580 And then what do you know?
00:10:20.100 The results all show crack pipes.
00:10:22.260 Because how could you have a safe smoking kit that does not include something through
00:10:26.800 which to smoke?
00:10:27.640 The point of a safe smoking kit, quote unquote, safe smoking kit, is to give crack heads the
00:10:35.700 materials that they need to smoke.
00:10:38.220 If a safe smoking kit does not include something through which to smoke, it is by definition
00:10:43.180 not a safe smoking kit.
00:10:44.300 So the Washington Free Beacon has this great story out.
00:10:48.480 They went up and down the East Coast.
00:10:51.340 They went to Boston, New York City, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Richmond, Virginia.
00:10:55.380 They went to every single organization that they could find that gave out the safe smoking
00:11:01.160 kits.
00:11:01.680 They all had crack pipes.
00:11:04.740 And what happened?
00:11:08.220 That they wouldn't answer any questions about the program.
00:11:11.280 And Jen Psaki says, no, no, nothing to see here.
00:11:13.240 Ignore, ignore, ignore.
00:11:15.660 It just, they're never going to admit when they're in the wrong.
00:11:19.860 So the fact that they can't come up with a better answer gives you everything you need
00:11:22.980 to know.
00:11:23.180 It's kind of like when I talked to, I talked to David Pakman yesterday on the show.
00:11:26.140 And he said, it's not illegal to protest in front of judges' homes.
00:11:30.480 And I said, well, here's the law.
00:11:32.600 Here's the federal statute, 18 U.S.C., section 1507, says explicitly it is illegal to protest
00:11:38.440 outside of the judges' homes.
00:11:39.660 And he says, well, no, no.
00:11:41.660 Look, I don't know.
00:11:42.420 I'm not a lawyer.
00:11:44.080 You know, I'm not a biologist.
00:11:45.520 I'm not a lawyer.
00:11:45.960 So the White House is not going to admit this.
00:11:51.040 The prominent Democrats are not going to admit when they're wrong.
00:11:53.540 But the very fact that they can't come up with an answer gives you everything that you
00:11:57.380 need to know.
00:11:57.800 It tells you that we were right, not a conspiracy theory at all.
00:12:00.960 You know, another conspiracy theory is that the schools, not just colleges and high schools,
00:12:05.480 but middle schools and elementary schools, are indoctrinating our kids into weird, creepy
00:12:09.060 sex stuff.
00:12:10.180 That's a conspiracy theory.
00:12:11.860 It's not happening.
00:12:13.820 It's good that it is happening, they tell us.
00:12:15.780 But also, it's not happening at all.
00:12:17.300 Well, I have a report out from The Daily Caller.
00:12:20.340 Maryland Elementary School invites kids to pledge allegiance to the pride flag.
00:12:26.360 An elementary school, PTA invited students to be recorded pledging allegiance to the gay
00:12:32.540 pride flag, according to a post on the school PTA page.
00:12:36.760 This is the Montgomery County Public Schools Cedar Grove Elementary School.
00:12:41.100 They announced that the school, quote, will be celebrating love, respect, and tolerance
00:12:44.800 with a video compilation of students holding the pride flags and saying the words love,
00:12:49.060 respect, freedom, tolerance, equality, and pride.
00:12:56.320 The conservatives, some conservatives are going to say, this is crazy.
00:13:00.080 This is nuts.
00:13:00.840 Get all the sexual talk out of the schools.
00:13:03.500 Get all of the talk about belief systems out of the schools.
00:13:06.420 Get all the religion.
00:13:08.080 Get all of the values.
00:13:09.060 Get all of that out of the schools.
00:13:10.120 But of course, that's not possible.
00:13:11.960 It's not possible to do that because there's no such thing as neutrality and education doesn't
00:13:17.520 happen in a vacuum.
00:13:18.560 The whole point of education is that you teach people things, not just reading, writing, and
00:13:22.660 arithmetic, but about what's good and what's bad and how they should behave and what's normal
00:13:26.920 and what's natural and the kind of behaviors that they should pursue.
00:13:30.340 Frankly, even the conversation about sex education, it doesn't always have to be the creepy stuff that
00:13:35.240 they teach in the modern sex ed classes.
00:13:37.520 Even when a teacher reads a little book about mama bear and papa bear and little baby bear,
00:13:42.480 they are teaching you something about family, about sex, actually.
00:13:46.780 They're teaching you something about the way that boys and girls and men and women relate
00:13:50.600 to one another.
00:13:52.000 And so no one would object.
00:13:53.540 I mentioned this on the show a few weeks ago.
00:13:55.340 No one would object to a kindergarten teacher reading their students a story about mama bear
00:14:00.220 and papa bear and baby bear.
00:14:01.260 We would all object to a teacher reading his or her students a story about mama bear and
00:14:06.600 papa bear and papa bear's boyfriend and papa bear's boyfriend's three-legged goat that
00:14:10.520 he has a relationship with.
00:14:11.500 We would all object to that because it's the substance that matters here.
00:14:14.760 The kids are going to pledge allegiance to something.
00:14:17.440 They can either pledge allegiance to the American flag and traditional American views and beliefs
00:14:22.500 and traditions, or they can pledge allegiance to the cultural revolutionaries and the gay pride
00:14:27.400 flag and diversity, equity, and inclusion, and all the cultural radicalism.
00:14:32.580 But you've got to pick one.
00:14:33.940 They are going to believe something.
00:14:36.900 And right now, because we all believe all sorts of crazy stuff, our economy is going to pop,
00:14:41.020 which is why you've got to check out Birch Gold.
00:14:43.640 Text Knowles to 98, 98, 98.

00:14:47.240 It finally happened.
00:14:48.080 The Fed has realized the dire straits that our economy is in thanks to our loose monetary policy.
00:14:53.780 Turns out, you're going to be shocked to hear this, you can't just spend trillions of dollars
00:14:57.340 every year with no repercussions.
00:14:59.380 Now, to play catch up, the Fed has been raising rates and plans to seven times this year.
00:15:06.460 You are already starting to see those ripple effects in the housing market as people's
00:15:09.780 buying power is collapsing.
00:15:12.120 Have you considered what could happen in the stock market if the economy stalls out?
00:15:16.320 Do not wait till that happens.
00:15:18.180 Take some of the profits from the stock market now and solidify them with gold from Birch Gold.

00:15:56.940 The conspiracy theory, there's a crazy conspiracy theory that students are being exposed to
00:16:03.160 pornography in schools, not just pledging allegiance to some weird sexual ideology,
00:16:07.680 but their actual pornography.
00:16:08.940 That's not true.
00:16:09.580 That's not happening.
00:16:10.400 You right-wingers are making this up.
00:16:12.060 There was a parent at a Colorado school board meeting who pulled out a book.
00:16:16.720 It's a very popular book.
00:16:18.220 It's in school libraries across the country.
00:16:20.640 The book is called Gender Queer.
00:16:22.320 Take a listen.
00:16:22.860 These two books that are on the poster are Lawn Boy and Gender Queer.
00:16:28.140 I will say that I do not favor book banning.
00:16:31.640 I want to tell you that off the bat.
00:16:33.860 But I do want to tell you that pornography does not belong in our schools or accessible
00:16:40.160 to our children.
00:16:42.700 I got a new strap-on harness today.
00:16:44.260 I can't wait to put it on you.
00:16:46.020 It will fit my favorite dildo perfectly.
00:16:48.060 I can't wait to have your c*** in my mouth.
00:16:50.100 I'm going to give you the b***h job of your life.
00:16:52.100 Then I want you inside me.
00:16:54.720 Sorry, you're out of order.
00:16:55.780 This is your first warning.
00:16:58.320 This is a book that is accessible in Adams 12.
00:17:05.720 Kindly refrain from further reading here, please.
00:17:09.600 Thank you.
00:17:10.020 This is what you allow in our schools.
00:17:11.940 And this is what you allow for our kids to have access to.
00:17:16.300 This is pornography and this is grooming for pedophilia.
00:17:18.800 Please give me my time back.
00:17:22.560 It's in the schools.
00:17:24.180 It's in the school.
00:17:24.960 They say you're out of order.
00:17:25.880 Well, if I'm out of order, why?
00:17:27.200 Because I'm reading the book.
00:17:28.040 Well, then the book is out of order.
00:17:29.280 If it's out of order for adults, why on earth would you expose this to kids who are in our
00:17:33.200 schools?
00:17:34.660 Well, I'm sorry.
00:17:35.740 I'm not going to answer you.
00:17:37.000 It's just that's out of order.
00:17:38.880 The reason that the school board is upset here is not because of the obscene content of
00:17:44.400 the book.
00:17:44.760 It's because the parent is exposing the obscene content of the book to the people,
00:17:48.600 to the parents of this district who are shocked and appalled by this, as they obviously should
00:17:54.080 be.
00:17:54.220 That's just a conspiracy theory though, right?
00:17:56.360 I don't think so.
00:17:58.700 So it's all a crazy conspiracy theory.
00:18:01.080 This weird sex stuff is a loser for Democrats.
00:18:04.220 The reason that they're so keen on saying it's a conspiracy theory and shutting it up and
00:18:08.220 censoring it and taking away the microphone at the school board meeting is because they
00:18:11.620 know that this is a loser at the ballot box.
00:18:13.760 It's a winner in the long term.
00:18:15.900 If the left can totally reshape sexual mores and can push, especially their sexual radicalism
00:18:22.160 because sex is so important to human nature, then it can really help them to reshape society.
00:18:26.200 So it's a good long-term strategy if they want to upend society.
00:18:29.760 But it's a really crappy short-term strategy because people hate it and it's weird and they
00:18:33.920 want to protect their kids.
00:18:34.860 This is true not just on the transgender stuff or the education stuff.
00:18:39.060 It's true in abortion as well.
00:18:42.460 Joe Manchin just proved me right on this.
00:18:44.380 Joe Manchin, who is a centrist Democrat, he refused to go along with the Democrats' new
00:18:48.760 abortion law, which failed yesterday in the Senate, or failed two days ago in the Senate.
00:18:53.580 The law, we were told, simply tried to codify Roe versus Wade.
00:18:57.900 And they kept using this phrase, codify Roe versus Wade, because Roe versus Wade is a popular
00:19:04.580 enough expression.
00:19:07.020 Abortion is not very popular.
00:19:09.820 Late-term abortion is not popular at all.
00:19:12.480 Only 6% of Americans believe that abortion should be legal at any time during pregnancy.
00:19:18.200 94% oppose that.
00:19:20.960 But the phrase Roe versus Wade, because people don't really know what it means and it just,
00:19:24.280 we've heard it a lot and it seems fine.
00:19:26.200 That phrase is fine.
00:19:27.180 So, the left says the law is going to codify Roe versus Wade.
00:19:31.020 I told you a few days ago, I said, the law does a lot more than codify Roe versus Wade.
00:19:35.140 It actually gets rid of virtually every abortion restriction in the country.
00:19:38.520 It's extraordinarily radical.
00:19:40.160 Joe Manchin just admitted that I was totally right.
00:19:43.620 The bill we have today to vote on, the Women's Health Protection Act, and I respect people who
00:19:48.460 support, but make no mistake, it is not Roe v. Wade codification.
00:19:53.120 It's an expansion.
00:19:53.860 It wipes 500 state laws off the books.
00:19:58.700 It expands abortion.
00:20:00.820 And with that, that's not where we are today.
00:20:03.220 We should not be dividing this country further than we're already divided.
00:20:06.580 And it's really the politics of Congress that's dividing the country.
00:20:11.160 It's not the people.
00:20:12.540 They're telling us what they want.
00:20:14.000 And it's just disappointing that we're going to be voting on a piece of legislation which
00:20:18.680 I will not vote for today.
00:20:20.000 It obviously expands Roe v. Wade.
00:20:23.420 Just look at the text of the bill.
00:20:24.920 It's not complicated.
00:20:26.600 The text of the bill refers to transgender men or women or whatever.
00:20:31.060 I mean, it refers to, even beyond what it does to abortion itself, it just uses language
00:20:36.560 and accepts concepts that are so much more radical and modern than whatever the Supreme
00:20:41.620 Court said in 1973, part of which was actually already overruled in Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
00:20:46.640 So much more.
00:20:47.700 This is an expansion of abortion.
00:20:49.760 It's a loser for Democrats.
00:20:51.720 Why is Joe Manchin voting against it?
00:20:53.340 Maybe because he thinks it's the right thing to do to vote against it.
00:20:56.300 But also, as he says, the people have told him what they want.
00:21:00.340 They don't want this.
00:21:01.780 The abortion bill failed 49 to 51.
00:21:04.700 The majority of people don't want this, okay?
00:21:07.280 The majority of people don't want abortion on demand without apology.
00:21:10.240 The vast, virtually every American wants some restrictions on abortion.
00:21:14.360 And what the radicals will tell you, what the libs will tell you, is they don't care.
00:21:18.260 Whoopi Goldberg made this point on The View just yesterday.
00:21:22.100 Whoopi Goldberg said, I do not care what you think, you the people think, about abortion.
00:21:28.760 Search 71% of Americans believe there should be some limitations on abortion.
00:21:32.580 This is forcing a conversation that's an uncomfortable conversation we have to have.
00:21:38.840 At what point does a baby in the womb have rights separate from a mother?
00:21:42.180 Listen, it doesn't matter what you think, when you think it is.
00:21:46.040 I don't think that that's when it is.
00:21:48.080 Is it the ninth month?
00:21:49.180 Is it the third trimester?
00:21:50.580 Listen, I don't have to tell you.
00:21:53.300 It's none of your business.
00:21:54.320 It's your decision, what you do with your body and how your family works.
00:21:58.980 And for me, I don't care what your religious beliefs are.
00:22:02.840 But it's not even religion.
00:22:03.860 But it is.
00:22:04.460 This is all based in religion.
00:22:07.620 I don't care what your beliefs are.
00:22:09.760 Okay, Whoopi, well, I don't care what you don't care about.
00:22:12.760 Because this, last time I checked, is still something resembling a self-government.
00:22:17.560 And I get a say, because I'm an American citizen.
00:22:20.560 We get a say in how our country is governed.
00:22:24.020 This is always what the libs do.
00:22:26.640 Ultimately, the libs, who are the most emphatic about stressing their commitment to democracy
00:22:33.220 and our democracy, they do not care about democracy when democracy runs up against liberalism.
00:22:39.040 This is why in Eastern Europe, whenever Eastern European countries elect leaders that the libs
00:22:44.880 don't like, they always say it's a threat to democracy.
00:22:47.300 When the Hungarians elect Viktor Orban, they say, this is a threat to democracy.
00:22:50.920 What the hell are you talking about?
00:22:52.580 Democracy is when the people vote on something and the majority of them vote for something
00:22:56.800 and they get it.
00:22:58.060 That's what happened.
00:22:58.680 But no, that's a threat to democracy when the majority of people vote for something that
00:23:02.820 the liberals don't like.
00:23:03.640 Because the liberals, when they say democracy, really just mean liberalism, leftism, progressivism.
00:23:10.940 The liberals will cry crocodile tears about the threat to our sacred temple of democracy
00:23:16.600 when the Horn Hat guy shows up and dances around the Capitol Rotunda.
00:23:20.140 That's a great, terrible, dire threat.
00:23:23.900 But then the moment that the people say, no, we actually don't want radical abortion laws,
00:23:28.500 all of a sudden democracy goes out the window.
00:23:30.500 And Whoopi says, I don't care what you have to say.
00:23:32.860 I don't care what you think.
00:23:33.900 And that's always been the issue with abortion.
00:23:35.860 Going back to 1973, when the courts took abortion out of the legislatures and said, no, we're going
00:23:41.540 to pretend that there's a constitutional right to it.
00:23:44.860 And ever since then, up to and especially including today, the small group of radicals
00:23:51.740 say, we don't care what you think.
00:23:53.740 And they're willing to upend all of the institutions of our democracy to do it.
00:23:58.940 Big, big loser for the libs.
00:24:01.420 But it reminds us of how we have to react.
00:24:05.960 Because for a long time, conservatives backed away from democracy.
00:24:09.740 For a long time, conservatives backed away from the political order.
00:24:12.900 And we said, okay, we're just going to fight our battles in the private sector.
00:24:16.040 We're just going to fight our battles in the marketplace.
00:24:19.540 We're not going to wield the government, by which has meant politics, by which has meant
00:24:25.300 our actual democracy, by which has meant the political power that the framers gave to
00:24:29.680 us, the people.
00:24:31.900 Some Republicans are beginning to wake up and figure out what time it is.
00:24:34.820 Josh Hawley is one of them.
00:24:35.900 Josh Hawley, a U.S. senator from Missouri, is now threatening to remove Disney's special
00:24:43.360 copyright protections and to remove Major League Baseball's special antitrust protections.
00:24:49.400 And he is doing that explicitly because those two companies are going very woke.
00:24:55.660 So Hawley proposed the Copyright Clause Restoration Act, which would limit new
00:24:59.600 copyright protections to 56 years and retroactively change protections for companies like Disney
00:25:05.020 that, quote, have been granted unnecessarily long copyright monopolies.
00:25:10.260 You saw this copyright term extended in 1998.
00:25:13.480 This was when Sonny Bono was a congressman.
00:25:16.020 It was the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998.
00:25:19.220 It was commonly known as the Mickey Mouse Protection Act.
00:25:21.840 And Disney got a sweetheart deal on their copyrights.
00:25:23.960 Major League Baseball has gone super duper woke in recent years.
00:25:26.700 So, and Major League Baseball most recently removed the All-Star Game from Georgia because
00:25:32.520 they wanted to protest Georgia's election integrity laws.
00:25:36.260 So Josh Hawley says that MLB should lose its longstanding antitrust exemption, which no
00:25:40.580 other industry enjoys in the same way.
00:25:43.620 There are going to be some people who whine and complain and say, this is the use of the
00:25:48.620 government to target private corporations.
00:25:50.700 This is terrible.
00:25:51.240 This is awful.
00:25:51.920 This is, this is politics, folks.
00:25:55.920 This is self-government.
00:25:57.720 There's nothing anti-conservative or unprincipled or un-American about it.
00:26:02.160 This is we the people saying, no, we're not going to let giant, usually multinational corporations
00:26:07.640 wield their massive political power to completely upend the American way of life.
00:26:12.640 When you're talking about something like copyright, when you're talking about the Mickey Mouse Copyright
00:26:20.220 Protection Act or something, and Josh Hawley trying to get rid of some of Disney's special
00:26:23.840 protections, there's an argument for it and there's an argument against it.
00:26:27.620 I think reasonable people can disagree over copyright law and how long copyrights should
00:26:33.540 exist and what copyrights should be in movies compared to books compared to, I think reasonable
00:26:39.040 people can disagree about that.
00:26:40.760 I think reasonable people can disagree about what sort of special protections big sports
00:26:46.400 leagues should get.
00:26:48.240 Okay, there's, this is not just a purely ideological matter where you just write down three bullet
00:26:54.880 points on the back of a napkin and this is true conservatism and this is true progressivism.
00:26:59.380 No, it's politics, folks.
00:27:00.840 Politics is a big sphere where we can discuss how we want to live and where we the people
00:27:06.080 can push back against the extreme radical predations of, of business leaders who are frankly acting
00:27:14.400 like oligarchs.
00:27:15.300 But here's what I'll tell you.
00:27:16.940 Here's what I will tell you.
00:27:18.240 When the people, even when they just saber rattle a little bit, when we the people say we are
00:27:23.500 willing to go after woke corporations, it works.
00:27:27.660 Breaking news at a variety, the trade paper in Hollywood.
00:27:33.020 Netflix updates its corporate culture memo, adding anti-censorship section and vowing to
00:27:39.300 spend our members' money wisely.
00:27:42.260 So they came out, Netflix has said, look, we're not going to go woke, okay?
00:27:47.800 We're not going to, and especially they said, we are not going to cave to our woke employees,
00:27:53.240 which is what happened at Disney over the parental rights and education law.
00:27:57.680 They said, artistic expression, we have a new section called artistic expression.
00:28:04.240 They will not, quote, censor specific artists or voices, even if employees consider that content
00:28:09.880 harmful.
00:28:10.860 They say, if you'd find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best
00:28:16.660 place for you.
00:28:18.120 So they're telling their woke employees, go pound sand.
00:28:21.080 We are not going to deal with this.
00:28:22.220 This is in part because there was a giant woke Netflix uproar over a Dave Chappelle special
00:28:27.160 last year.
00:28:28.900 But I think what this is really about is Disney.
00:28:31.700 I think that if the Florida legislature and Governor Ron DeSantis had not gone after Disney
00:28:38.060 and not taken away Disney's special tax exemptions and not specifically gone after Disney after
00:28:44.780 Disney specifically went after the voters of Florida, I don't think you would see this from
00:28:48.800 Netflix right now.
00:28:49.580 I think if you weren't seeing political actions like Josh Hawley saying, you know, Disney,
00:28:54.520 you done messed up.
00:28:56.760 Disney, you just, you just pushed it a little too far, Disney.
00:29:01.560 And now we're going to make an example of you because we are not going to stand idly by
00:29:06.100 while you groom our freaking kids in your weird LGBT LMNOP transgender nonsense.
00:29:13.240 We're not going to, we're going to use everything that we, the people still have.
00:29:17.460 We don't have the media.
00:29:18.300 We don't have the educational institutions.
00:29:21.060 We don't have big tech.
00:29:23.020 We don't have, we don't have, we don't have anything.
00:29:25.320 We don't have the government bureaucracy.
00:29:27.180 We have very, very little, but we do still have a little bit of a vote in our legislatures.
00:29:31.680 And we're going to use that power and we're going to say no.
00:29:35.160 And we're going to make life real unpleasant for you.
00:29:39.580 And if you're Netflix over here, frankly, the CEO of Netflix is probably happy to see
00:29:43.360 that happen to Disney because this gives the CEO of Netflix some cover.
00:29:47.060 Say, yo guys, we're just not going to do it.
00:29:48.640 Okay.
00:29:48.980 We can't, we can't afford to do it.
00:29:51.060 We're getting way too much pushback.
00:29:53.040 The reason that the, the libs cave all the time, the reason that the woke corporations
00:29:56.580 cave rather to the libs is because they say, look, we just can't take the pressure.
00:30:00.940 We can't take the threats.
00:30:02.200 We can't take the boycotts.
00:30:03.360 We can't take the walkouts.
00:30:04.540 Well, how about we, we conservatives bring a little bit of pressure too in a completely
00:30:08.200 moral and principled and political way.
00:30:10.620 I think that's a great idea.
00:30:11.700 This is great news from Netflix.
00:30:13.840 Good job, Florida Republicans.
00:30:15.740 Good job, Josh Hawley.
00:30:17.440 Keep it up.
00:30:18.040 Now, when we see the culture, when we see private enterprise, private business doing
00:30:27.220 this woke virtue signaling, it's more than just silly.
00:30:33.280 It's more, sometimes it's just disgusting and disordered and, and needs to be discouraged
00:30:39.120 as best we can.
00:30:40.040 Calvin Klein did this today.
00:30:41.980 Calvin Klein used to put out ads that were, you know, kind of saucy, kind of scintillating.
00:30:46.940 I don't think they were exactly obscene, but, you know, Calvin Klein, you know, it's, they
00:30:52.620 make underwear, right?
00:30:54.600 They, so obviously they're, they want to put forward an, an image of men and women that
00:31:00.780 is attractive until recently, until they've gone woke.
00:31:04.000 And now they are selling their products by posting a picture.
00:31:07.540 It's, it's become the meme.
00:31:08.740 It's the meme of that emoji.
00:31:10.120 She, it's a pregnant man, ostensibly.
00:31:13.500 It's a, it's an image of what looks like a woman lying with what sort of looks like a
00:31:19.580 man.
00:31:20.220 It's someone with a beard and a buzz cut, but a big pregnant belly.
00:31:24.840 And so you realize, oh no, this is a, this is a woman who has cut her breasts off and
00:31:30.380 is now exposing her mutilated breasts and taken a bunch of cross-sex hormones and is
00:31:38.000 pregnant with a baby.
00:31:39.600 And so we're going to show you this topless, confused woman in our ads to sell underwear.
00:31:46.900 The, the caption is today in support of women and mothers around the world.
00:31:50.760 We highlight the reality of new families.
00:31:53.160 The, uh, Kay Vensel is a South African painter and mother to wild.
00:31:57.420 Erica Fee and Roberto Beat are expecting parents from Brazil.
00:32:01.700 Roberto is due to give birth to his and Erica's son, Noah, any day now.
00:32:08.940 Venenda Carter, Carter is a prominent fashion consultant.
00:32:13.020 Her family is Bobby and Weston.
00:32:16.420 This is wrong.
00:32:18.200 It's wrong.
00:32:18.660 Can we say it's wrong?
00:32:19.600 I know we're not, it's not politically correct to say that we're not, we're supposed to keep
00:32:23.780 our opinions to ourselves and we'll be called bigots and phobes and all it's, it's wrong,
00:32:27.960 right?
00:32:28.080 It's worse.
00:32:28.880 It's disgusting.
00:32:30.420 It is disgusting that our culture is celebrating women mutilating their own bodies and then
00:32:38.480 redefining all of the most basic human institutions and putting children in a very bad position
00:32:47.540 and depriving them of their natural mothers and fathers in many cases, all to satisfy our sexual
00:32:53.360 delusions and desires and fetishes.
00:32:55.780 It's wrong and disgusting and the culture should discourage it and stop it and say, no.
00:33:03.100 Are we allowed to say that?
00:33:04.720 Am I allowed to say, I know that's contradicting every woke orthodoxy that we're now told and
00:33:11.220 yet we all know it's true.
00:33:12.500 We all know it.
00:33:13.240 If you showed that picture, that advertisement to 100 Americans at random, 99 and a half of them
00:33:20.880 would say, stop this.
00:33:22.260 What on earth are you doing?
00:33:24.000 And what does the ad say?
00:33:25.200 It says today in support of women and mothers around the world, we highlight the reality
00:33:29.400 of new families.
00:33:31.760 I don't accept this new definition of family.
00:33:35.560 Do you?
00:33:36.760 One, there's no limiting principle on it.
00:33:38.580 So there's no definition at all.
00:33:40.320 If we can redefine the family in this way, if we can redefine the family away from what it
00:33:45.100 actually is, which is mommy and daddy love each other very much and do that thing that married
00:33:48.960 people do and that creates a baby, if we can redefine it away from that to say, well, it's
00:33:53.520 mommy and mommy and mommy and mommy, daddy and daddy, daddy and daddy and daddy's friend
00:33:57.840 and a goat.
00:33:58.960 What's the limiting principle?
00:34:00.200 There isn't one.
00:34:01.600 And it totally throws open the question, what is a family?
00:34:03.980 What is a family for?
00:34:05.020 What does a family do?
00:34:05.860 What distinguishes a family from a town or a city or a nation?
00:34:10.780 Well, the complementarity of the sexes and the possibility of creating life, that's what
00:34:15.820 distinguishes it as a natural fact.
00:34:19.240 Do we have the right in this country to stand up for that?
00:34:23.100 The Supreme Court tells us no.
00:34:25.820 The bureaucracy tells us no.
00:34:27.920 The radical activists tell us no.
00:34:29.800 But I think we do.
00:34:31.020 I think we still have some political rights.
00:34:33.360 And Whoopi Goldberg and Karine Jean-Pierre and the people who run our country and who speak
00:34:39.420 for the people who run our country, they're going to laugh at us and tell us that they
00:34:42.220 don't give a damn what we think.
00:34:43.500 But I think we still have some political rights.
00:34:45.420 And I think we have not only the right, but a responsibility to assert those rights.
00:34:50.300 It is the most infamous Supreme Court case in memory.
00:34:53.780 It's the deadliest decision in history, even 50 years after Roe versus Wade.
00:34:57.460 Few people know the truth behind the landmark decision.
00:35:00.360 The decision that has enabled the slaughter of 64 million babies since 1971.
00:35:05.900 Daily Wire is taking a wrecking ball to the four big lies that the abortion industry was
00:35:11.240 built upon.
00:35:12.160 With our original documentary, Choosing Death, The Legacy of Roe, we will uncover the inside
00:35:17.740 story of how Roe v. Wade came to pass and why it needs to pass away.
00:35:22.040 Some of this content is hard to take in.
00:35:23.760 Few subjects, if any, are more important.
00:35:25.680 Here's the trailer.
00:35:26.160 Many times when we did this, as we started, patients would begin crying and protesting.
00:35:47.160 But once we had begun dilating the cervix and passing instruments into the uterus, it was
00:35:53.680 too late to stop.
00:36:01.000 I was handing hush money to women who we had left pieces of their baby.
00:36:08.640 We had put these women's lives in jeopardy.
00:36:11.400 We had put their lives at risk.
00:36:13.240 And we were literally giving them a check for $800.
00:36:17.140 And for a poor woman, $800 is a lot of money.
00:36:24.460 I mean, there have been so many moments in the last decade plus of going undercover in
00:36:28.960 abortion clinics myself and seeing just heartbreaking things.
00:36:33.900 Women vomiting in the hallway of an abortion clinic, crying out in pain.
00:36:37.560 The late-term abortionists, talking casually about how they would literally leave a born-alive
00:36:44.440 baby to die.
00:36:45.260 Or if you deliver the baby in the toilet, then you pick it up and stuff it in a plastic
00:36:48.560 bag and bring it to us.
00:36:50.460 Babies are being born alive.
00:36:52.660 And the backs of their necks are being slid.
00:36:55.560 They are being drowned.
00:36:58.100 Their necks are being snapped.
00:37:00.520 It's happening more often than people want to think about.
00:37:04.400 These abortion facilities, these abortion providers, these doctors, they don't care about these
00:37:12.720 women.
00:37:13.700 And you're just, you're realizing, you're watching in front of your own eyes play out
00:37:18.000 America's greatest horror story, which is how we butcher children in the name of choice.
00:37:24.320 How we Lebanon has to go!
00:37:35.980 How surprise!
00:37:36.720 Of course!

00:39:03.920 started. Give me the first voicemail. Hey Michael, my name is Brayden and I am a pro-left conservative
00:39:09.280 just like you. How would you respond to somebody that challenges you on abortion when they say that
00:39:14.260 if Republicans care so much about the baby when they're in the womb, why don't they give just as
00:39:19.560 much care to that baby when they're out of the womb? Basically, what do we do to prove to mothers
00:39:26.400 and parents that we as Republicans or we as conservatives do care about the baby even after
00:39:33.020 it's born just as much as we care about the life when it's in the womb? Thanks. I love the show.
00:39:37.700 Great question. You actually can't do anything to prove it to them because they don't want it to be
00:39:46.840 proved to them because they don't even really mean what they're saying. Because the answer to the
00:39:52.480 question is, we do care about the babies when they get out of the womb. We care about them much more
00:39:57.060 than the Democrats do. Republicans, conservatives are much more likely to adopt than Democrats are.
00:40:02.700 Republicans and conservatives are much more likely to give to charity than Democrats are. So that's
00:40:07.620 just, that's self-evident, okay? Second, the two questions have nothing to do with one another.
00:40:17.120 Your views on government welfare, your views on private charity, your views on schooling for
00:40:23.800 children, your views on how to reform the welfare system, those are important questions, but they have
00:40:28.880 absolutely nothing to do with your views on whether or not it is right to kill a baby.
00:40:33.340 They're totally separate issues. It would be like saying, hey, look, you guys, you, you guys keep
00:40:39.680 talking about how we should have laws against murder, right? You think it should be illegal to murder
00:40:44.160 people, but you don't want to even increase that other tax credit that I want. So if you don't want
00:40:50.940 to increase a tax credit that I want, then we can't have laws against murder. What are you talking
00:40:54.940 about? Those two things have absolutely nothing to do with one another. But, but I go back to my first
00:41:02.520 point. I don't think the argument is really worth engaging because it's not real. It's just a way
00:41:08.780 to distract. It's just a way when you say, hey, hey, Democrats, we shouldn't kill babies, right?
00:41:13.540 They're like, look over there. Hey, is that a butterfly? Hey, what are you, what's going on?
00:41:17.080 It's just, it's a complete distraction. And so you can gently brush it aside. You say,
00:41:21.040 Republicans care very much about babies. Actually, whatever statistics we've got on it shows we care
00:41:26.020 more than you guys do. I mean, just look at what we're in right now. The Republicans are trying
00:41:29.940 desperately to pass laws and to get answers as to why there's a baby formula shortage and how to fix
00:41:34.480 it. And the Democrats are laughing about the baby formula shortage and then sending what little
00:41:38.220 baby formula we have down to the border to give to foreign nationals. So there you have it. You've
00:41:42.020 got your answer right there. Next voice mailbag. Hello, Mr. Noel Stradamus. This is Camille from your
00:41:50.280 mailbag. I am honored to be heard on your show if this were to get played. My question is yet again
00:41:57.320 about dating. I'm still single guys, if you're out there. Anyway, my question is, I was talking to
00:42:02.680 a guy friend of mine about how long a guy is willing to wait to sleep with a girl. And he said that he
00:42:10.240 wouldn't wait any longer than a month. And I used to think that maybe we'd be more than friends. But
00:42:15.960 after hearing that, is that something that is a deal breaker? Is it something that could be
00:42:20.020 reconciled? Because I definitely would like to wait. So I would just love to hear your thoughts if
00:42:25.760 that is a deal breaker or if you think that maybe he can be changed or things could be changed down
00:42:31.920 the road. Thanks. Love the show. I can change him. You can change him. It's up to him as to whether or
00:42:39.300 not that's a deal breaker. It's up to you to just say no. And I've got a little secret for you, Camille.
00:42:46.340 Men like to be told no. We don't like when it's just easy to get whatever we want. Forget even
00:42:53.660 outside of dating, in professional life, in anything. We like a little bit of a challenge.
00:42:58.880 We like to be told no. We don't like when things are easy. That's what girls, I don't think they
00:43:04.300 really use this phrase anymore, but girls used to be called easy. And guys didn't really, guys liked
00:43:08.340 girls that were easy for a night or two, but didn't like girls that were easy to think of in the long
00:43:12.900 term. So tell him no. Say like, well, all right, listen, you degenerate. No, you're not going to get me
00:43:18.140 that easy. And if you want it, then you should have put a ring on it. And so if you want to date,
00:43:22.520 we can date. But if you don't, then okay, go enjoy your hussies and see what he says. I bet
00:43:27.000 he'll probably be interested. And if he's not, then too bad for him. Good for you that you've
00:43:32.240 avoided this derelict and maybe he'll reform. And I suspect he will in the long run, but that's not
00:43:38.320 your problem. In the short run, what you've got to do is what is right. In the short run, what you've
00:43:44.000 got to do is not only what is right, but apparently what you want to do as well. And don't let some
00:43:49.240 dirtbag try to pressure you. All right, next voicemail bag.
00:43:53.720 Hey, Michael, my name's Johnny. I was wondering what your opinion is on women in combat arms.
00:44:00.400 Great short question. Wow. And a really good question too. I'm against it. I don't, I think
00:44:07.260 it's a bad idea. I am not against it merely because women are not capable of fighting in combat. I suspect
00:44:15.780 there are lots of women who are capable of fighting in combat. Not as many as the libs would
00:44:19.860 have us believe. The libs want us to believe that men and women are exactly the same. And so
00:44:24.140 therefore there's no reason to prevent women from doing anything in the military. But I suspect that
00:44:29.140 there are some women who could do certain jobs in combat, especially now that combat is less,
00:44:35.760 it's still about it, but it's less about brute strength and there is a more nuance to combat because
00:44:40.240 we live in a very technological age. But I'm against it for a different reason. I'm against it because
00:44:45.780 it's just wrong. It's just disordered. It's just unseemly because men are supposed to protect
00:44:52.720 women. Because I think men and women are different and men have a role to protect women and women have
00:44:57.540 their own roles and women are more nurturing than men are. Women have roles to obviously to take care
00:45:05.040 of the family, to take care of the community in a different way. Because when men see that women
00:45:09.940 are in danger and in trouble, they're going to, they just naturally are going to go and protect
00:45:15.500 that woman. And even if that would compromise perhaps some aspects of their mission and their
00:45:22.220 operation and what they're actually trying to do. Because of the intractable, you're simply not going
00:45:28.860 to get over it or redefine it difference between men and women. Women have different places. You always
00:45:36.360 hear now about rape in the military. And I have no doubt that there is a problem of rape in the
00:45:40.520 military. One of the reasons that there's a problem of rape in the military is because men and women are
00:45:45.960 being put in these extremely close quarters all the time and women are being exposed to the danger
00:45:51.240 of rape in the military. And I don't think that's a good idea. And what the feminists will tell you is,
00:45:56.780 well, just teach men not to rape. Or on the other side, just teach men not to go give special
00:46:02.800 protection to women. Or just teach men not to care that men and women are different. Well,
00:46:06.500 all I'm telling you is, these are facts of human nature. And some of them are ugly facts and some
00:46:14.420 of them are beautiful facts. But these are facts of human nature. If it's raining outside, you should
00:46:20.640 use an umbrella. Well, just tell the clouds to stop raining. No, I'm just, I'm just telling you a fact
00:46:26.140 of things that are going to happen. Okay. And some of them are ugly facts like sexual assault that
00:46:30.420 could occur in the military. Some of them are beautiful facts. Like the fact that men are
00:46:35.200 generally more protective and aggressive in the face of a foe. And women are more nurturing. That's
00:46:41.560 a beautiful thing too. It all boils down to men and women are different. It's not evil and wrong
00:46:46.940 for them to have different roles in society. Certainly not, certainly in the military. And it is simply
00:46:54.300 not the case as the feminists contend that the only way for women to be strong and important
00:46:58.520 and virtuous is to pretend to be men. I just don't think that's the case. Next voicemail back.
00:47:04.300 Hey, Michael, my name is Heather. Myself, along with my husband and three small children are going
00:47:08.960 to be moving to Nashville in the beginning of June. We're super pumped. And hey, maybe we'll run into
00:47:13.500 you at Trader Joe's sometime. But my question is in regards to this Roe v. Wade ruling of the Supreme
00:47:20.940 Court, which I really hope goes through. But anyways, I've got some more liberal friends on social media
00:47:26.560 that are obviously trying to say that this is going to make abortion, you know, illegal across
00:47:31.920 the United States. And it's going to be such an attack on women and women's rights, even though it
00:47:36.320 was, you know, their choice to engage in sexual activities with the possible outcome of having a
00:47:40.600 child. Anyways, you know, how do I respond to those same women who are so gung ho on killing children
00:47:49.560 when they finally get pregnant and then want to call this thing growing inside them a miracle baby
00:47:55.820 that they get to have with their family because now they want it and it's convenient. I'm obviously
00:48:02.100 always happy for new life to come into the world, but I've been getting very bitter about this entire
00:48:09.580 situation. So I'd love for you to shed some light on how to handle all of this with love. Thanks, Michael.
00:48:15.660 Really good question. I have heard from a number of my female friends and female relatives who are
00:48:24.600 furious at their other friends and relatives who have babies, who will post a picture on social
00:48:35.020 media of them with their babies playing with their cute little babies. And then the very next picture
00:48:38.900 they'll post is how we need to defend Roe v. Wade and how we need to defend a woman's right to choose.
00:48:42.520 They get really angry about the obvious disconnect between how they view their own baby and how they
00:48:50.800 view other people's babies. And they get really angry. I don't get really angry about it. It's
00:48:55.420 preposterous. It's absurd. It saddens me. Sometimes it even kind of amuses me in a dark way that people
00:49:01.960 could be this stupid, this obtuse. But I don't really get that angry about it. When it comes to the
00:49:09.740 issue of abortion, people are defending killing little babies. It is no surprise that people who
00:49:14.100 are defending killing little babies might be kind of confused, might not be seeing things very
00:49:18.960 clearly. And so I just remain calm about that. I think this is a fallen world. I think that the
00:49:24.060 world has practiced human sacrifice from the very beginning. So I'm not surprised. I feel some moral
00:49:29.280 outrage about it. No question about that. I would like to do everything I can to stop that. But I don't
00:49:35.180 allow myself to get angry. This is just a fact of the world. Ignorance, moral confusion, frankly,
00:49:42.160 even human sacrifice. These are facts of a fallen world. And so accepting that, I think we can calmly
00:49:49.720 just, if you even want to have that conversation, if your friend is not just spouting off on some
00:49:54.880 stupid little Facebook tangent, but is actually interested in this issue, just say, hey,
00:50:00.360 when was your baby a baby? And very often what the women will say is, well, look, I would never get
00:50:08.300 an abortion. I would never get an abortion. But I understand that other women would and should have
00:50:15.040 that right. But I would never get one. The next question is, why would you never get one? Because
00:50:21.620 the answer really deep down is, well, I would never kill my precious progeny, but all those poor black
00:50:27.060 people in the inner cities, they should. That's what they're saying. That's the, oh, well, you know,
00:50:32.060 people who are like poor or, you know, they kind of, they, they, they live in bad places or they are
00:50:38.840 disproportionately racial minorities. They definitely don't want to admit that part. Yeah, they should.
00:50:43.200 Because it's like, ugh, yucky, you know, ugh, it's bad, bad to live in the bad places, but then they're
00:50:49.380 not going to, you know, so let's just, no, that's what they're saying. And they just, they're not aware
00:50:53.520 that they're saying that. So I think if, if your friends are not particularly philosophical or not
00:50:59.320 thinking about this in a really objective way, and you do want to have that conversation, maybe just
00:51:02.820 start with them. Why would you not do it? Well, if you would not do it because you don't want to kill
00:51:07.920 your own baby, why shouldn't we have a law about that? We have all sorts of laws about, that's what
00:51:12.820 a law is, right? It's telling people how to behave. So if we have laws about where you can park, why
00:51:17.080 shouldn't we have laws about who you can kill? All right. Next voice mailbag.
00:51:21.360 Hey, Michael, listen, I'm not a misogynist. Let me put that out of the way first. But I just want
00:51:25.960 to know, what is your opinion as to why women have gotten so picky and entitled when it comes to
00:51:30.740 finding a man? Some of them will say that they won't date anyone who's under six foot five.
00:51:36.080 Some won't date anyone that makes under $20 billion a year. And some won't date anyone that
00:51:41.100 doesn't look like Leonardo DiCaprio. Why have women become like this? I think it's kind of unfair
00:51:45.700 where if I say I don't want to date a woman that's fat, I'm all of a sudden a misogynist. And that is my
00:51:50.120 only parameter of women I'm not going to date. So yeah. Why do you think women became like this?
00:51:55.240 And how can we kind of change that? Because there's too many women on my timeline complaining
00:51:59.080 about not finding men, but doing this at the same time. Thank you.
00:52:03.420 I knew this was going to be a good question when it opened with, look, I'm not a misogynist or
00:52:07.360 nothing, but how come I can't say that a woman's fat and I don't want to date her, but she can,
00:52:12.700 you know, I think men and women have always had a little bit of a problem understanding one another.
00:52:17.440 They've wanted different things. It's always good first to take a look at the man in the mirror
00:52:21.480 and see if there's maybe something wrong on your side. But you are identifying a real problem that
00:52:27.060 I think is actually particular today. You see people delaying getting married. You see people
00:52:31.160 dating lots more people before they ever settle down. I think the reason for that is swipe right
00:52:35.460 culture. I think the reason for that is not just women, but men too are viewing one another as
00:52:42.120 expendable or viewing one another as replaceable. And of course, because the way we date now is we
00:52:48.100 just look on a phone and everyone looks pretty much, you know, they're all in the same context
00:52:51.980 and we just go boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And there's an endless supply of them. And so this is
00:52:56.920 one of the, it's how people date now. So I'm not discouraging it entirely, but this is one of the
00:53:00.960 perils of online dating is that you, you just, you reduce people to their individual features,
00:53:06.940 their height, their looks, their, their hair color, their whatever, their resume, even that they put
00:53:14.360 on some of these personal ads on the dating apps. And you don't look at a human being as a cohesive
00:53:19.800 whole, as something special, as something, something and someone that is unique and get to know them.
00:53:26.440 And so it's just, I got a one date Monday, one date Tuesday, one date Thursday, and you keep,
00:53:30.020 you keep moving on. No, you're talking to real human beings. Recognize that you were dealing with
00:53:34.040 eternal people and you're going to have to see those people in heaven someday.
