Just when you thought the political exploitation of the unspeakable tragedy in Texas could not get any more shameful,
00:00:45.460
Beto O'Rourke decided to crash a somber news conference by state officials in the small town in which the tragedy took place
00:00:53.760
to turn the public mourning into a petty campaign stunt in his failing bid for governor.
00:01:30.680
I can't believe you're a sick son of a b**** who would come to a deal like this to make a political issue.
00:01:35.340
Is this what unsatisfied political ambition does to a man?
00:01:45.800
This man, Beto O'Rourke, travels to a community reeling from unspeakable horror
00:01:52.320
and hijacks their mourning, their assembly, to learn the facts of what happened
00:01:57.680
into a cheap campaign stunt so that he could yell,
00:02:02.100
this is on you, into the face of his political opponent.
00:02:05.740
Did he explain how it was on him, how the shooting was Greg Abbott's fault?
00:02:11.140
Did he explain what something he would have done instead?
00:02:28.860
the victims and their families and the community and their wishes?
00:02:32.860
Did it ever occur to him that maybe the families and the local community
00:02:37.280
didn't want to have their grieving hijacked and turned into a campaign stunt
00:02:43.260
Do any of these people have even one scintilla of shame?
00:03:00.540
My favorite comment yesterday is from Steve Robson, who says,
00:03:03.540
me circa 2000, there's a small, powerful, rich cabal of people that rule the world and make
00:03:12.000
Steve, that's a crazy conspiracy theory, and you sound like a crazy person.
00:03:18.580
There's a small, powerful, rich cabal of people that rule the world and make all the decisions
00:03:24.680
A new study from the Fish and Wildlife Bureau suggests that they have seen a recent spike
00:03:32.140
If they don't want us to believe in crazy conspiracy theories, probably a good idea
00:03:39.380
Probably a good idea for them not to show up to the World Economic Forum and have Klaus Schwab,
00:03:52.040
If they don't want us to think they're conspiring, they should probably stop conspiring.
00:03:56.800
When you want to protect not just your political community, but your home, you got to check
00:04:10.400
I'm going to be away from home for quite a bit, but I can rest easy because of Ring.
00:04:16.520
The protection afforded by Ring Alarm is absolutely magnificent.
00:04:20.760
Now, you might be thinking, Ring, Ring, you're talking about that video doorbell company?
00:04:29.060
See and speak to whoever's at your door, wherever you are in the world.
00:04:31.600
They've got the fabulous alarm, and now they've got the Ring Alarm Pro, which CNET calls a giant
00:04:40.340
So with the Ring Alarm, you get to protect your windows, your doors from freeze, fire, flood,
00:04:48.200
Well, with Ring Alarm Pro, you protect your digital home as well, your Wi-Fi, your data.
00:04:54.780
Well, this summer, you can protect all of it with Ring's award-winning alarm.
00:05:06.600
Everybody is making the tragedy in Texas about themselves.
00:05:15.180
There are some people who are being respectful.
00:05:18.320
There are a lot of people in public life, disproportionately on the left, just call it like we see it,
00:05:24.060
who are making this about them and their interests and their agenda and their pet projects.
00:05:38.480
He's a radical guy and he was a terrible president and he's really bad for America.
00:05:43.580
But usually he's at least a fairly able politician who can take the temperature of what's going on
00:05:51.920
But the guy was absolutely tone deaf yesterday when he tweeted out.
00:05:57.160
I still don't quite understand the thought process.
00:05:59.280
He says, as we grieve the children of Uvalde today,
00:06:03.160
we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd
00:06:10.160
His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him.
00:06:13.540
In the aftermath of his murder, a new generation of activists rose up to channel their anguish into organized action,
00:06:18.480
launching a movement to raise awareness of systemic racism and the need for criminal justice and police reform.
00:06:23.840
Inspired by these young leaders, MBK Alliance launched a reimagining police pledge for mayors and cities ready to take action.
00:06:31.300
If you're wondering how you can help make things a little better today, here are some ways to get involved.
00:06:38.500
So it's not even, he says, hey, we're all thinking about Texas today.
00:06:44.920
Hey, we're all, listen, I know that this is what everyone's talking about because of how horrific it is.
00:07:02.620
Who, does Barack Obama really believe that we have not talked enough about George Floyd?
00:07:11.020
We, we spent two years talking about George Floyd.
00:07:16.000
We spent two years largely hearing a completely misrepresented take on what happened to George Floyd and who George Floyd was and having much of the real story suppressed by the media.
00:07:26.780
And then having that fake story be the impetus for eight months of terrorism throughout the United States from coast to coast, where BLM activists, mostly peaceful, mostly peacefully burned the country down and burned multiple cities.
00:07:40.500
And then high-ranking Democrat officials not only encouraged them to do this, but actually funded them, bailed them out of jail like Kamala Harris.
00:07:52.820
Trayvon Martin, who was killed in an altercation with George Zimmerman, who's a Hispanic guy that the media lied and said was white because they wanted to turn it into a racial issue years ago.
00:08:03.240
And they said that Trayvon Martin was just innocently going to buy Skittles and there was no altercation.
00:08:07.560
And then the evidence of George Zimmerman being beaten up to a pulp contradicted a lot of that.
00:08:13.360
And then that was a media circus for years that led to riots and led to all sorts of mayhem throughout the country.
00:08:19.400
And then Barack Obama decided to pour fuel on the fire by saying Trayvon Martin looks like my son would have looked.
00:08:24.480
If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin.
00:08:33.340
Certainly he's not showing any care whatsoever for this community in Texas.
00:08:39.580
And any way that he can score a nice little political point, that's what he's going to do.
00:08:50.500
So you've got, on the one hand, some activists who are exploiting the tragedy to push their own almost entirely disconnected political agenda.
00:09:01.060
Then the other prominent reaction you're seeing is just anger directed at conservatives.
00:09:13.660
It's anger at people who are offering thoughts and prayers.
00:09:16.780
And they say, how dare you offer your thoughts and prayers?
00:09:28.480
Because we're, we're, why are we always at square one with this?
00:09:32.780
And I swear to God, if I see another Republican senator talk about their heart being broken, I'm going to go punch somebody.
00:09:41.260
If your thoughts and prayers were really with everybody, you'd have done something by now.
00:09:45.880
It's not like anybody's not trying to make this happen.
00:09:52.960
You're, you're, this is what Beto O'Rourke was saying.
00:10:04.820
You notice Beto O'Rourke isn't making a whole lot of concrete proposals because he doesn't care at all.
00:10:09.980
He's just, he thinks that he's going to look good on the cover of the newspaper, yelling and screaming.
00:10:14.600
And if it, if it disturbs the people of this traumatized community, and if it interrupts their grief,
00:10:20.780
and then he just walks out of there and moves on to the next campaign event.
00:10:25.420
He thinks, I don't think it looks good at all, but he thinks he got a really good picture in the newspaper and on CNN.
00:10:32.260
I'm going to punch someone in the face if I hear thoughts and prayers.
00:10:39.620
I told you yesterday on the show, I have no interest in debunking and owning the, the political commentary of the gun control,
00:10:49.140
of the talking points, of the boom, boom, more guns, less crime.
00:10:54.700
I think it's a, I don't think that's the appropriate response in the immediate aftermath of,
00:11:00.260
of a really unspeakable tragedy, but, but I do have to ask all of these people who are demagoguing the issue.
00:11:10.820
I was even trying to think, what could the proposals be?
00:11:12.980
There have been a ton of gun control proposals in the last 20 years aimed at reducing mass shootings.
00:11:20.700
Marco Rubio pointed out some years ago now, this was in 2015.
00:11:23.280
He said, none of the major shootings that have occurred in this country over the last few months or years
00:11:28.140
that have outraged us, would gun laws have prevented them?
00:11:32.320
This was an audacious, outrageous claim at the time.
00:11:35.560
And then it was fact-checked by the Washington Post, bad as liberal an outlet as there can be,
00:11:44.500
The Washington Post admitted, there is certainly a depressing chronicle of death and tragedy,
00:11:53.500
So none of those major laws that were proposed for gun control would have stopped the shooting.
00:12:04.560
The way this shooting went down, he could have used a handgun.
00:12:07.760
This was not long-range, high-precision distance, a distance type of attack.
00:12:16.140
So are you, so now are we saying ban the handguns?
00:12:18.440
Well, you've got a constitutional problem there.
00:12:20.580
But frankly, even if you ban the handguns, is there any evidence that that's going to reduce rates of murder?
00:12:26.640
In the UK, in 96 or 97, there was an attack on an elementary school in the UK.
00:12:33.040
And not only did the murder rate not go down, it actually went up.
00:12:38.860
And then you're running up against, in any case, the constitutional problem.
00:12:42.900
We have a Second Amendment that was inherited even before the beginning of our country, formerly under the Constitution.
00:13:05.080
I don't think that we should upend all of our traditional civil rights.
00:13:08.380
But even if I were going to go with you, what is the concrete thing?
00:13:13.520
When you're yelling and screaming and saying this is your fault and making a big spectacle of yourself
00:13:18.020
and interrupting people's grief and standing on your high horse and trying to express sympathetic fury and outrage,
00:13:26.940
So all you're doing is demagoguing and getting some nice pretty pictures in the newspaper and then you're doing less than nothing.
00:13:39.340
Now, when you want to protect your home, when you want to protect your family,
00:13:44.040
I strongly recommend you check out American Home Shield.
00:13:50.140
Do you want peace of mind and to stay on a budget right now with record high inflation and a really bad economy?
00:13:57.280
You're probably going to want to protect yourself from unexpected expenses.
00:14:01.300
That's why you've got to check out American Home Shield.
00:14:06.240
You know your budget, your time, and your sanity are all covered when you have got American Home Shield.
00:14:14.700
They've got a choice of three great plans to help cover the cost of repair or replacement
00:14:19.520
on parts of major home systems and appliances, no matter the age.
00:14:24.000
If American Home Shield cannot repair the covered item, they will replace it.
00:14:28.320
American Home Shield members get more and more coverage options, fewer exclusions.
00:14:31.800
We're talking HVAC systems and plumbing to kitchen appliances.
00:14:35.080
Their plans help to protect parts of up to 23 essential home systems and appliances.
00:14:40.800
Electronics coverage is available for an unlimited number of eligible items.
00:14:44.740
We're talking smartwatches, flat screen TVs, and more.
00:14:51.780
Plus, they are offering an exclusive $50 off for listeners of The Michael Knowles Show.
00:15:00.720
No longer, my friends, thanks to American Home Shield.
00:15:03.580
Keep your home up and running, your budget on track with American Home Shield.
00:15:06.780
Get $50 off their most comprehensive plans ever.
00:15:12.540
That's AHS.com slash Knowles for $50 off any plan.
00:15:18.600
Service fees, limitations, and exclusions apply.
00:15:22.740
All of the demagoguery that we are seeing right now on the shooting in Texas, the practical
00:15:31.380
effect of it is going to be nothing because the people who are really demagoguing the issue
00:15:39.020
They know that the proposals that they've made in years past, they're the same old proposals.
00:15:43.720
They don't even stand up to scrutiny on the left.
00:15:45.480
That's why they're not going to pass a law because there's no political support for it
00:15:49.860
It runs up against constitutional problems and there's no evidence that it would solve any
00:16:00.420
Well, you use it as an opportunity to push your own political agenda, a separate political
00:16:10.140
He's just as classless as the rest of them, but he's too stupid to realize that his strategy
00:16:16.520
Barack Obama is slightly more politically sophisticated, but Joe Biden even is more politically
00:16:22.100
So Biden's doing the same thing that Obama's doing.
00:16:31.060
As we've seen all too often, public trust is frayed and broken, and that undermines public
00:16:39.740
The families here today and across the country have had to ask, why this nation, why so many
00:16:47.200
black Americans wake up knowing they could lose their life in the course of just living
00:16:51.500
their life today, simply jogging, shopping, sleeping at home, whether they made headlines
00:17:02.700
Members of Congress, including many here today, like Senator Cory Booker and Congressman Karen
00:17:07.040
Bass, alongside members of the Congressional Black Caucus, House and Senate Judiciary Committees,
00:17:13.480
spent countless hours on the George Floyd Justice of the Policing Act to find a better answer
00:17:21.500
I sincerely thank you all for your tireless efforts.
00:17:25.400
So hold on, you're insinuating that the grief from this tragedy reminds us, just like Obama
00:17:32.540
did, reminds us of George Floyd, and it reminds us that, let me check these notes, black people
00:17:38.300
lose their lives at any moment, there is this epidemic around the country, they could be jogging,
00:17:44.300
they could be sleeping at home, and they're all just getting gunned down and killed, right?
00:17:49.840
I don't think any of the statistics back that up whatsoever, and I don't even think that the
00:17:58.480
I'm not even convinced that your guys believe this is happening, Joe, which is why you couldn't
00:18:04.080
It sounds there like he's signing some piece of legislation, some bill into law, right?
00:18:10.020
He calls it the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
00:18:12.320
The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act failed.
00:18:14.740
He has complete control of the government, and it failed.
00:18:19.860
So instead, what Biden's doing here is signing an executive order, an executive order that
00:18:27.120
The executive order only applies at the federal level, and it changes some rules about policing.
00:18:34.520
But as we've seen over the past two years, people don't want weaker policing.
00:18:41.740
People don't want crime threat to their communities.
00:18:43.880
They don't want their communities to be burned down.
00:18:49.020
They want our society to treat criminals more harshly, not continue to let them off the hook.
00:18:53.440
So there's no political support for this whatsoever.
00:18:58.940
All we're seeing, especially from the Democrats, is vague insinuations that the other guys are bad,
00:19:11.180
and they're really good, and they're going to do something, and it's going to be,
00:19:14.940
and it's important to do something rather than nothing.
00:19:18.100
But what that something is, they just can't say, because they've got nothing.
00:19:23.640
So he just gets up there and regurgitates his word salad of vague emotional appeals,
00:19:32.160
and then signs a completely toothless executive order, and then everybody moves on.
00:19:43.120
They're the bad guys who want bad things to happen.
00:19:45.880
And we're the good guys, and we want to do something so that the good things happen.
00:19:49.100
But what we do, we're not going to actually do anything in particular, but that's what we're for.
00:19:58.520
Speaking of racism, speaking of racism and doing nothing,
00:20:02.280
the United Nations is complaining now that coverage of the impending monkeypox pandemic
00:20:12.060
First, the UN's AIDS agency, UNAIDS, announced that the reporting on the monkeypox virus is
00:20:18.960
irresponsible, and it's undermining the response to the outbreak, and it's racist and homophobic.
00:20:23.940
According to UNAIDS Deputy Executive Director Matthew Kavanaugh, says,
00:20:28.500
stigma and blame undermine trust and capacity to respond effectively during outbreaks like this one.
00:20:34.460
One, experience shows that stigmatizing rhetoric can quickly disable evidence-based response
00:20:40.040
by stoking cycles of fear, driving people away from health services,
00:20:43.880
impeding efforts to identify cases, and encouraging ineffective punitive measures.
00:20:51.540
What he's saying is, don't tell the truth about this virus,
00:20:54.580
because that if you tell the truth about this virus, people will be discouraged from going to gay orgies.
00:21:00.220
Because the virus is largely spreading among gay men, and not even just any old gay men.
00:21:06.400
We're talking about gay men who go and shtup dozens of people at bathhouses and orgies.
00:21:11.380
That's where the public health officials believe this began, at a gay fetish party where everyone
00:21:16.740
was shtuping each other, and at a gay bathhouse in Spain.
00:21:25.200
If you're a gay guy who, for whatever reason, you've gone down a really bad path,
00:21:30.900
and you find yourself frequenting fetish orgies and bathhouses,
00:21:36.020
wouldn't you like to know that, huh, I'm at risk of contracting this monkeypox virus,
00:21:41.240
which in the extreme forms, the harsher forms of the virus, can kill 10% of people, or possibly even more.
00:21:51.300
You can't be told to avoid the orgies and the bathhouses.
00:21:55.120
You had medical analysts at Yale saying, don't let this turn you sex negative.
00:22:01.360
Don't turn away from the orgies and the bathhouses.
00:22:14.840
This UN AIDS agency says stigma can undermine public health efforts.
00:22:21.840
We want to stigmatize dangerous, disordered, unhealthy, bad behavior.
00:22:28.960
Society used to stigmatize all that stuff and used to encourage all the good stuff and the healthy stuff.
00:22:39.220
Now normal, healthy, good behaviors are stigmatized.
00:22:42.760
Starting family, getting married relatively young, working hard, having children.
00:22:49.640
You are a pariah if you engage in ordinary, normal, traditional activities.
00:22:54.520
And what is incentivized and encouraged is all this sort of weirdness that has given us monkeypox.
00:23:03.580
If the UN just came out tomorrow and said, hey, all of this mumbo jumbo word salad that we're sending around about the monkeypox,
00:23:13.420
Don't go to gay orgies and avoid vacationing in Zaire.
00:23:16.260
If they just said that, because Zaire is largely where monkeypox has been spreading for the last 40, 50 years.
00:23:23.300
If they just said that, you would probably greatly reduce the spread of monkeypox.
00:23:31.600
The UN and the public health authorities, which for the past two years have been as absolutely invasive and overbearing as they could possibly be.
00:23:45.520
They've just gone every, in any way they can, they've invaded your life.
00:23:49.620
Now, all of a sudden, that the issue is gay bathhouses, they say, oh, well, now listen, who are we to judge?
00:23:55.840
Who are we to say what you do on your weekends?
00:23:58.360
I thought you were the public health authorities.
00:24:00.720
I think you can tell people don't go to gay bathhouses.
00:24:05.600
But it's very politically incorrect these days.
00:24:08.860
In fact, the public authorities are incentivizing all those kinds of behaviors.
00:24:14.080
Not just at the United Nations, not just in Brussels.
00:24:17.900
Right here in the U.S. of A, Arizona's Department of Education now has a new plan to encourage public health among young people.
00:24:27.080
Specifically, sexual health among young people.
00:24:30.640
They are proposing chat rooms for gay minors, so young people who have questions about their sexuality, to go into and to speak with adults.
00:24:42.460
There are going to be adult moderators present.
00:24:44.240
But specifically, chat rooms that they can hide from their parents.
00:24:51.760

Arizona's Department of Education now links to chat rooms on its website for young people
00:27:11.240
who are identifying as LGBTQ, LMNOP+, to discuss sex and gender with adult moderators without their parents knowing.
00:27:23.940
The ADE directed minors to queue chat space and gender spectrum.
00:27:29.820
Those organizations rely on adult volunteers and staff to facilitate the minors talking about sex in these chat rooms without their parents' knowledge.
00:27:39.160
There is no age verification for those joining the chats beyond just asking the people for a birth date.
00:27:47.960
We reached out to the Arizona Department of Education about these chat rooms.
00:27:53.760
The online chat is so insidious, it has a quick escape function.
00:27:57.520
So the Arizona Department of Education, just like old man Herbert and family guy,
00:28:01.280
just like the creepy neighbor down the street who's leering at the kids,
00:28:04.100
they say, hey, come on here, are you questioning sexuality, young people under the age of 18?
00:28:17.560
And by the way, we don't verify anybody's age in here, young people.
00:28:23.420
And by the way, if you're mean old nasty parents, have a look at you, there's a quick escape button.
00:28:28.640
So if daddy walks into the room and you don't want them to know that we, the government,
00:28:33.600
are using his taxpayer dollars to encourage you to talk about sex with creepy, weird adults,
00:28:38.820
strangers, just click that quick escape button.
00:28:45.780
Then you can come back and talk about sex with us adults paid for on the taxpayer dime.
00:28:59.820
You remember a few weeks ago, there was this big controversy.
00:29:02.120
How dare you call the teachers pushing gender theory in schools groomers?
00:29:07.860
That's what you heard from the left and that's what you heard from the squishy right.
00:29:15.340
And you say, well, it seems like kind of a slippery slope.
00:29:17.700
It seems like a kind of an easily abused situation if a teacher is talking about sex to five and six year olds.
00:29:28.520
And now we've got the Arizona government encouraging creepy weirdo adults to talk about sex to kids without the kids knowing, without the kids' parents knowing.
00:29:38.420
No, I think I'm at the bottom of the slippery slope, but deep down, I know I'm not.
00:29:46.060
We keep thinking we've hit the bottom and we're going to slide so much further, aren't we?
00:29:50.060
And when I say that right now, the liberals are going to say, Michael, you're crazy.
00:29:58.800
Well, we've been slipping pretty fast, pretty far for a long time now.
00:30:02.640
We're already at the stage of taxpayer subsidized pervert adults talking to little kids about sex on government linked websites.
00:30:13.660
This is why it's so important for our legislatures to step up, not the administrative agencies, which are almost entirely unaccountable to the will of voters.
00:30:24.000
Voters who are generally a lot more normal and a lot more closer to the common sense than these government bureaucrats.
00:30:31.280
We need to assert our political vision and our reason and our logic and our will through the legislature.
00:30:42.080
So the Indiana legislature, run by the Republicans, proposed a bill to ban dudes who pretend to be girls from competing in girls sports.
00:30:55.140
And we've seen this throughout the country in lots of different states.
00:30:58.280
And unfortunately, the governor of Indiana, Eric Holcomb, vetoed the bill.
00:31:16.060
Did they throw up their hands and say, okay, that's that.
00:31:23.460
So Holcomb's argument was, in the two cases with initial rulings thus far, the courts have enjoined or prohibited laws with the same substantive provisions from taking effect based on equal protection grounds.
00:31:36.360
Okay, so that's just a way of saying, I think the courts are going to strike down this law because the courts are going to try to trans the kids.
00:31:42.480
Then he also said there was a third concern, which is that the newly proposed law implies that the goals of consistency and fairness in competitive female sports are not currently being met.
00:31:52.060
But after thorough review, I find no evidence to support either claim, even if I support the overall goal.
00:31:59.760
Even if he might have a practical political point on the first part that the courts could strike it down, again, I wouldn't bet on that.
00:32:07.140
I would still certainly sign the law, even if that were my main concern.
00:32:13.340
He's saying, look, there's no evidence that female sports are unfair right now.
00:32:18.460
Look at the NCAA Women's Swimming Championship.
00:32:22.860
You've got a giant hulking dude with all of his giant hulking dude parts pretty clearly visible in his silly women's bathing suit that he was wearing.
00:32:36.280
And then you've got these diminutive little girls next to him.
00:32:43.940
So this seems to be just a complete denial of reality.
00:32:48.640
Whatever the thinking was in the governor's office, this is the right thing to do for the legislature to go in and say, look, you're our governor.
00:32:56.860
But you're wrong on this issue and we're going to override you.
00:33:01.120
And that's what conservatives should be doing around the country.
00:33:04.200
When they meet pushback, whether it's because the Republicans are getting too many calls from worried corporations, whether it's because the governors are trying to find a middle ground on this issue of our boys, boys or our boys, girls.
00:33:19.600
Whatever the reason, Republicans need to stand up and push back.

Old Navy right now is taking a massive loss on its company.
00:34:20.200
It is being attributed to their all-inclusive sizing scheme.
00:34:25.920
They've really bought into the body positivity movement.
00:34:29.380
And now analysts expect the company to report net sales of $3.44 billion down from $3.99 billion in the same period last year.
00:34:39.600
And these bad numbers are going to trigger a management shakeup.
00:34:45.840
But I knew this was going to happen one year ago.
00:34:51.860
And I especially love looking at the subway ads.
00:35:00.260
I'm not even saying that big, fat people can't look good or dress nicely.
00:35:05.640
But this ad was intentionally making people look grotesque.
00:35:17.620
Whatever the copy on the advertisement was, the key to it was this is a revolution in beauty standards.
00:35:24.560
I just, I go to Old Navy so that I can buy sweatpants and a t-shirt.
00:35:27.180
I don't go to Old Navy to engage in a political revolution.
00:35:38.200
One, it tells you that right now, this is not just the radical left pushing all this craziness.
00:35:47.160
And it's a point that I've tried to make to the right on a number of occasions.
00:36:00.960
The left is always pushing for social revolution in our sexual behaviors, in our traditions,
00:36:05.800
in the way we relate to our country, in the way we relate to one another,
00:36:09.600
in the way we relate to our own human nature, and we revolt even against our biology.
00:36:19.980
This is the idea that we're just constantly going to be in extreme, intense competition with everybody,
00:36:26.100
and everything old is bad, and we're going to innovate, and we're going to renovate,
00:36:29.460
and we're going to get rid of all the old stuff, and build bigger, and bigger, and cheaper, and faster, and plasticker,
00:36:33.800
and it's going to be better, and better, and bigger, and you can get it for even less money.
00:36:37.240
And so that language of revolution is always there too.
00:36:40.840
This was always one of the real contradictions on the American right, especially during the 90s and the 2000s.
00:36:47.500
Every GOP speech during the 90s and the 2000s, and even more recently, you get up there and you say,
00:36:56.520
our culture is decaying, it's collapsing, it's being ripped apart at the seams.
00:37:01.860
We need to support traditional standards, and get back to our traditional way of life,
00:37:06.360
and support families, and local communities, and all of our traditions.
00:37:11.180
Then the second part of the speech was, and we need creative destruction, and we need to outsource
00:37:16.340
everything, and we need to upend whole communities, and if there's no more job in your community,
00:37:21.540
you've got to move across, and you've got to go work, and you've got to raise GDP,
00:37:24.800
and the girls have to go work, and no one should stay at home and raise the kids,
00:37:30.580
You say, wait, what happened to the first part of your speech?
00:37:33.160
No, no, that was just the first part, where I just said a bunch of stuff to placate the social
00:37:36.120
conservatives, but what I really want is revolution, baby, that's what we're doing.
00:37:39.520
And there's always been this tension on the right, and it's especially become pronounced
00:37:44.440
in the last 20 or 30 years, and what you are finally seeing, you've seen the climax of
00:37:50.380
revolution, revolution, revolution, where all of the companies now are even supporting
00:37:56.040
this revolution against not just your nation, not just your local community, not just old
00:38:01.460
standards, but nature itself, a revolution against human biology and sexuality, and the
00:38:07.500
people, I think, are getting sick of revolution.
00:38:11.620
I don't think I'm reading too deeply into the Old Navy numbers, but even take Old Navy aside
00:38:15.260
from it, the pushback against Disney right now, the pushback against State Farm, the pushback
00:38:21.160
I think people, people can be swept away in the joy of revolution.
00:38:26.300
You saw this in the French Revolution, the most famous revolution in modernity.
00:38:30.040
People saying, gosh, it was this intoxicating time.
00:38:34.080
To be young was very bliss during the time of the French Revolution, but as the French
00:38:37.860
Revolution wore on, and the terror came, and the absolute chaos and disorder came, people
00:38:48.400
You'll notice a lot of the young, prominent romantic figures in the early days of the French
00:38:53.720
The ones who didn't die young, the ones who lived long enough, came to detest the French
00:39:02.660
That is what you're seeing play out right now among ordinary people throughout the United
00:39:12.080
They're tired of subverted standards of beauty.
00:39:14.820
They're tired of constantly hearing this talk of victimhood and the total, absolute injustice
00:39:24.340
of every aspect of society that we need to undo.
00:39:26.480
Libs of TikTok, our great friends who have exposed a lot of this, they have shown that
00:39:32.720
apparently the victimhood pyramid does not merely exist in terms of race.
00:39:38.700
You know, the darker you are, the more oppressed you are.
00:39:45.100
You know, the gayer, transer you are, the more obscure your political, or your sexual identity,
00:39:52.900
There are also gradations of victimhood within fatness.
00:40:11.060
I am the super fat that you say I'm speaking over.
00:40:17.680
And presumably, the person on TikTok is saying, don't you dare speak over someone who is fatter
00:40:23.860
You shut up, you, because yes, you might be fat.
00:40:40.080
I get to speak over you because I'm the really fat person.
00:40:44.560
There is going to be someone fatter than this lady.
00:40:59.300
Now, he might rank a little lower because he's a dude.
00:41:11.660
There's always someone who is more of X, Y, and Z than you are.
00:41:19.160
That's the end result of all the victimhood stuff.
00:41:23.440
Because if the premise is that victimhood confers virtue
00:41:31.060
and the less virtuous should shut up and let the virtuous speak
00:41:34.720
but virtue we're now redefining in this totally perverted way to mean victimhood
00:41:39.780
then there's always going to be someone who is more victimized.
00:41:43.020
So the end result of this is not merely white people shut up, men shut up, straight people shut up.
00:41:53.900
Everybody shut up except for the one single most oppressed person in the entire world.
00:42:01.440
So all of you, just to be safe, everyone shut up and let us do what we want.
00:42:05.400
It ties right back in with that comment at the top of the show.
00:42:12.480
There are groups of people who are manipulating public opinion.
00:42:15.700
That is what the World Economic Forum is doing right now.
00:42:30.920
We will and we will do it in the shadows in Davos, Switzerland.
00:42:35.640
And we will not let them have any say in it at all.
00:42:38.200
You will just lead them and they will all shut up.
00:42:43.620
Nancy Pelosi is finally speaking up against her bishop
00:42:48.180
who has barred her from presenting herself for Holy Communion.
00:42:53.980
And Nancy Pelosi has presented herself as a victim here.
00:42:57.360
Speaking of victimhood, she has presented herself as a victim here.
00:43:10.740
to enforce the teachings of the Catholic Church for her own good.
00:43:16.720
What is so sad about it, and as you are speaking,
00:43:19.740
I am thinking of some of the discussions I have had
00:43:25.300
And what is important for women to know and families to know
00:43:28.640
that this is not just about terminating a pregnancy.
00:43:33.820
So these same people are against contraception,
00:43:49.540
That's what they tried to do in the Affordable Care Act,
00:43:52.200
which didn't have anything about terminating an abortion,
00:44:00.340
I wonder about death penalty, which I am opposed to.
00:44:15.760
In fact, he led the way in some of the initiatives,
00:44:21.300
I'm going to give Nancy Pelosi the benefit of the doubt here
00:44:23.720
and say she's just ignorant about what Catholicism is,
00:44:30.960
because he opposed the redefinition of marriage,
00:45:03.300
It doesn't mean that the archbishop is the radical
00:45:50.180
and by Christ, I think you could deduce and infer.
00:45:59.860
The great doctors of the church have defended it.
00:46:11.060
Was he committing these intrinsically evil actions?
00:46:21.200
there can be a legitimate difference of opinion
00:46:22.920
on the question of the death penalty among Catholics.
00:47:28.640
excluding yourself from the Catholic community.
