The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1016 - The Left's Solution For The Uvalde Tragedy

00:00:00.000 The more information that comes out about the Texas elementary school shooting,

00:00:04.200 the worse the story gets. I had generally refrained on this show from commenting on

00:00:10.920 the reports that Uvalde cops waited outside and even prevented other people from going in while

00:00:17.260 the shooter was inside wreaking havoc. I wanted to wait until more information came out and was

00:00:23.160 confirmed. Now that information seems to have been confirmed by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

00:00:28.660 Hey, from the benefit of hindsight, where I'm sitting now, of course it was not the right

00:00:34.560 decision. It was the wrong decision, period. There's no excuse for that. But again, I wasn't

00:00:39.780 there, but I'm just telling you, from what we know, we believe there should have been an entry

00:00:44.600 at that as soon as you can. Hey, when there's an active shooter, the rules change. It's no longer,

00:00:49.840 okay, it's no longer a barricaded subject. You don't have time. You don't worry about matter

00:00:54.360 primers. And by the way, Texas embraces active shooter training, active shooter certification,

00:01:00.600 and that doctrine requires officers. We don't care what agency you're from. You don't have to have

00:01:06.980 a leader on the scene. Every officer lines up, stacks up, goes and finds where those rounds are

00:01:12.720 being fired at and keeps shooting until the subject is dead, period. There you have it. Of course it was

00:01:18.860 the wrong decision. People are calling the response at Uvalde incompetent, cowardly, 0.98

00:01:26.060 unconscionable. People want heads to roll. People want the department defunded in some cases. They want 0.94

00:01:32.660 whoever gave the stand down order to get dragged before a judge and put on an orange jumpsuit.

00:01:37.960 I get it, but that does not concern me. That is not my call or your call for that matter.

00:01:44.200 That is for the people of Uvalde to decide what does concern us. What concerns all of us is the

00:01:51.320 central lesson of this horrible ordeal. Namely, that we cannot rely on the cops to protect us.

00:01:59.840 We cannot rely on the politicians to protect us. We have a right and an obligation to protect

00:02:07.460 ourselves and our children. And as cynical political activists try to exploit this tragedy

00:02:13.680 to push their longstanding political agenda. More than ever, we need to defend those rights.

00:02:20.220 I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:28.980 Welcome back to the show. Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day weekend. My favorite comment

00:02:33.180 Friday is from Nakamurlokam, who says,

00:02:36.320 my son was born at 28 weeks. The current heavyweight boxing champion, Tyson Fury,

00:02:42.180 was also born at 28 weeks. That really does put things into perspective. This is how the advance

00:02:48.360 of modern medical science has really helped the pro-life argument, is people used to say,

00:02:52.800 oh, well, who knows? Who knows what's inside a woman's womb? It's the mystery of life. Well, 0.99

00:02:57.860 we have sonograms. Now we know it's a baby. It looks like a baby, moves around like a baby,

00:03:02.320 is a baby, genetically a baby, has all the characteristics of life. Well, but the baby

00:03:07.320 cannot live until when? Until sooner and sooner and sooner and sooner. Now a baby can live in some

00:03:14.600 cases at 20 weeks or 21 weeks, certainly by 28 weeks. And so the arguments for abortion just

00:03:20.820 absolutely fly out the window. I do not understand how you can possibly hear about the police response

00:03:29.040 to the Uvalde shooting and defend weakening the Second Amendment. I know that this has been the 0.89

00:03:36.220 political response, certainly from the left and among some squishes too, is to say, well, because of

00:03:41.220 this horrific shooting and the extremely botched response to it, we need to give up our guns. That

00:03:46.460 seems like the opposite of what you would conclude. The reason to give up your guns, the reason to

00:03:52.960 surrender the Second Amendment is, well, the cops will take care of it. You don't need to be armed

00:03:59.160 because we pay our taxes and the state provides us people who are going to protect us if we're ever

00:04:04.980 in jeopardy, if we're ever in any risk. But they won't. In some cases, they will. In some cases,

00:04:12.300 they won't. You can't rely on that. That's the point. Ironically, this whole botched response is

00:04:18.960 proving what many of us already knew, namely, you have a right and an obligation that is totally

00:04:26.480 natural to self-defense. You see this from the shooting up in Buffalo. Do you remember the

00:04:33.940 shooting in Buffalo not that long ago, just a few weeks ago? This lunatic who says he was radicalized 0.95

00:04:41.080 on the internet during COVID and his political views were a little bit unclear. He said he was 0.91

00:04:45.880 on the authoritarian left, but he said he had moved further right and he used to be a communist and

00:04:52.720 then he was kind of right wing and then he was left wing again. And it was all part of this

00:04:57.420 ideological transformation on the internet. Now there are news reports that this guy may have had

00:05:04.620 contact with a retired federal agent on the internet. How long was that contact? What did that

00:05:13.120 contact with the federal agent have to do with his radicalization? What did that federal agent know

00:05:18.660 and when did he know it? There were reports coming out that this federal agent had advanced notice

00:05:24.160 of the shooting. Authorities are investigating whether or not he had a warning and who knows how long that

00:05:30.920 maybe it was half an hour. It might've been longer than that. This is raising a lot of questions.

00:05:36.480 What was the role of that federal agent? People have raised questions before about the Fed's role

00:05:44.660 in some of these attacks. You remember the plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan. We were told

00:05:51.880 that this was a radical white supremacist far right group that was plotting to kidnap the Democrat

00:05:57.440 governor of Michigan. Then we found out actually federal agents were involved in that. Actually,

00:06:01.640 federal agents were entrapping people in that. Some of the guys got off the hook because of it.

00:06:09.000 So the question is, I'm not saying that the retired federal agent here was enticing this guy to commit

00:06:16.180 the shooting or was entrapping him or doing anything like that. I guess it's possible there

00:06:20.420 will be an investigation here. But there are three options as to what this federal agent was doing.

00:06:25.880 The federal agent was either encouraging him, entrapping him, inciting him, or the federal agent

00:06:34.860 was trying to do something like that and was just completely incompetent. Or the federal agent

00:06:42.600 was a neo-Nazi and actually agreed with the guy. Those are the only three options as far as I can tell.

00:06:49.860 What else could this guy have been doing interacting with this killer? Why else would this guy have

00:06:56.720 gotten advance notice about the shooting if he was not involved in some way, if there were not some

00:07:02.000 operation going on here to investigate and trap white supremacists? Or the agent just had no idea what

00:07:11.420 he was doing. Or the agent was on the guy's team. In any of those cases, you need to protect yourself.

00:07:20.640 None of those possible scenarios look very good for the federal agent or for law enforcement.

00:07:27.800 If these reports are true, we don't know if they're true yet. There'll be an investigation.

00:07:30.960 All that does is add more evidence to the argument that you need to be able to protect yourself.

00:07:41.420 All around, you've got law and order crumbling in the country. And the justice system isn't doing

00:07:47.760 anything about it. There was a video went viral over the weekend of thieves in Los Angeles. They

00:07:52.300 break into Sephora, the makeup store. And these guys, just by the looks of them, it's hard to tell

00:07:57.420 because they're wearing hoodies and they're trying to cover up their identities. But just by the looks

00:08:01.340 of them, I don't think that they're all that interested in putting makeup on themselves. 0.55

00:08:05.300 They have big black trash bags and they're just emptying out store shelves with no consequences. 0.92

00:08:14.540 This is about three of these guys. And they're just being filmed too. I love these bystanders.

00:08:22.580 They're not stopping them. There's no guard coming out and stopping them. They're just filming.

00:08:26.200 I guess it's good that they're filming. We can at least see what's going on.

00:08:32.020 And these dudes have no fear in the world. No one's going to come stop them.

00:08:36.940 See you. There you go. All right. They got it. Just walking right out.

00:08:42.120 They're not even running it. They're walking it. That's how little fear they have of law enforcement.

00:08:48.260 And it's not even the cop's fault in Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, it's because the George Soros-backed

00:08:53.160 district attorney has said that he's not going to prosecute these guys. So there's no surprise

00:08:58.420 there. If you've got a radical leftist DA encouraging this kind of crime, then that's

00:09:03.320 the kind of crime you're going to get. And even if the cops wanted to do something, they wouldn't

00:09:07.260 be able to because the political superiors won't let them. If you are in Los Angeles, like I was,

00:09:12.660 I lived in Los Angeles a long time. I would not feel safe relying on the cops to protect me and my

00:09:17.960 family and my rights and my property or anything else. And what's tough in Los Angeles is it's

00:09:23.120 very hard to get a concealed carry permit. It's basically impossible to get a concealed carry

00:09:27.020 permit. So what would you do? Well, you could either move out to one of the counties around it

00:09:33.220 where it's easier to get a gun and protect yourself, or you move out of the state entirely,

00:09:37.340 which is what we did. It's not just Los Angeles. Look at what's going on in New York. In New York,

00:09:42.240 subway attacks have always occurred. They are becoming more commonplace and they are becoming more

00:09:47.260 brazen. This crazy guy running around yelling. I think it's a guy. He's dressed up in women's 1.00

00:09:59.900 clothing, but he looks like a guy. Sits down next to these women. They start to get up and, oh,

00:10:05.540 there he goes. This woman sitting next to him tries to get up. He grabs her by the back of the hair, 1.00

00:10:10.420 pulls her back down. She looks terrified, as of course she should be. She's saying, help me.

00:10:15.320 She's kind of mouthing this to other people. She's remaining pretty calm, though.

00:10:20.400 And no one's doing a damn thing. No one's lifting a finger. 0.80

00:10:24.620 Guy's just sitting there, holding her down.

00:10:28.880 There's someone filming her. I bet the guy filming her puts the camera down and goes and helps her.

00:10:34.340 Nope, not doing that. Not in social media age.

00:10:37.320 Finally, the guy gets up. Yells at the woman, get up. 0.99

00:10:46.720 And lets her go. I think he's wearing women's clothing. Yeah, it's definitely a dude, though. 0.76

00:10:51.000 Wearing women's clothing and women's pants. What has happened in this country where everyone on that 1.00

00:10:56.940 subway is just going to sit by and let bad people do whatever they want to helpless women who are 1.00

00:11:03.380 saying, please help me, help me. Nobody does anything because we are in a state right now in

00:11:07.880 this country where no one feels the urgency or the ability to protect ourselves. We're all going

00:11:13.860 to let somebody else handle it for us. I got news for you, folks. The cavalry's not coming in, okay?

00:12:51.540 really, really bothered me. Because if I'm a New Yorker, if you've lived in New York any period

00:12:56.480 of time, you have had run-ins with crazy, wild homeless people. And sometimes if they're just

00:13:03.360 ranting and raving and doing their own thing, you just leave them be. That's New York. Not surprising

00:13:08.520 to see people on the subway just staring ahead, minding their own business, reading the ads on the

00:13:13.000 side. But if the homeless guy is getting, I assume this guy's homeless, is getting up there,

00:13:17.560 getting very aggressive, especially with women, you would hope people would intervene. 1.00

00:13:23.620 Most people I know in New York who have had run-ins with homeless people like this have

00:13:27.560 intervened in some way, either talking to him, either kind of holding him down a little bit,

00:13:31.600 getting in between him and the people he's going after. This would not have been uncommon even

00:13:37.220 in recent years. Something has broken in our society where you can see a guy abusing this woman,

00:13:45.120 holding her hostage, basically. And you just say, oh, I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to film

00:13:49.120 this. Oh, I know. This is going to be really great on TikTok. She's saying, help me, help me.

00:13:54.660 Because we're all waiting for someone else to do something. And so we are led like sheep to the

00:13:59.740 freaking slaughter. If you're always waiting for someone else to protect you, if you're always 0.95

00:14:04.100 waiting for someone else to do the right thing, guess what's going to happen? Nobody's going to do the

00:14:07.840 right thing. If you live in a society that says courage is awful, men protecting women,

00:14:13.680 that's toxic masculinity. If you, if you ever tell a homeless person, no, if you ever some

00:14:20.380 street criminal, gosh, you might be called a racist. The guy who was attacking her is black. 0.99

00:14:26.220 You don't want to be called a racist, do you? You don't, better just to sit down and mind your own 0.99

00:14:30.320 business. And well, if you live in that society, then, then the, the cruel and the bad guys are going

00:14:37.560 to run amok. And that's exactly what's happening. And it's being encouraged by the so-called

00:14:42.500 justice system, which says, Hey, even if the cops do show up to the scene, we're going to let these

00:14:46.700 guys off the hook. The, the way politics works, the way that the law works is that this seems so

00:14:55.880 basic, but we've forgotten it in our, in our country. If you incentivize something, you get

00:15:01.640 more of it. We've, we've, we've convinced ourselves with a lot of kooky theories that somehow if you,

00:15:07.820 if you tolerate all sorts of terrible things, somehow, maybe you'll get less of it. Well,

00:15:13.200 all we really need to do, we need to stop arresting the criminals and then we'll get less crime.

00:15:19.360 You see the real, the root cause of crime is cops arresting criminals because they're, it's so unjust

00:15:25.200 and prison is really, when you put the criminals in prison, you get more crime actually on, and how,

00:15:31.640 I don't know how, when you, you know what we need to do to stop the drug problem?

00:15:35.040 We need to legalize all the drugs. And then when you legalize all the drugs and have people doing

00:15:40.160 all the drugs, then you get less drug use. That's, people seriously make this argument

00:15:44.100 on the left, certainly, but also on the right, usually more on the libertarian right. They'll

00:15:49.940 say that all the, the whole reason we have a drug problem is because we arrest people for doing drugs.

00:15:55.760 No, I don't think so. It's because we have an over-incarceration. No, we have an under-incarceration

00:16:00.300 problem. When you have crime going through the roof, when you have drug use and drug dealing going

00:16:04.880 through the roof for that matter, you, you have an under-incarceration problem, an under-policing

00:16:10.780 problem. There was an ad, talk about the New York subway. Ad shows up on the New York subway and it's

00:16:16.320 of a woman, a POC woman, you know, the most politically correct kind of archetype you can 0.98

00:16:22.160 imagine. And it says, don't be ashamed you are using, be empowered that you are using safely.

00:16:30.340 Using what? What does she mean using? She's talking about using drugs.

00:16:34.120 What is fentanyl? That's what it says right underneath the woman. Fentanyl is a powerful

00:16:39.260 opioid that can be found in heroin, cocaine, crack, methamphetamine, ketamine, and pressed pills.

00:16:44.800 Why is it dangerous? Fentanyl increases the risk of overdose, especially among people who do not

00:16:50.260 regularly use opioids. Okay. I agree with the first two panels. What's that third panel say?

00:16:56.380 Prevent overdose. Avoid using alone and take turns. Start with a small dose and go slowly.

00:17:06.020 Have naloxone on hand. I think that's to mitigate the risk of overdose. Avoid mixing drugs. Test your

00:17:14.500 drugs using fentanyl test strips. Don't be ashamed. You're using drugs. Don't avoid you.

00:17:21.840 They could have stopped that third panel after the second word. Avoid using. Don't do drugs. Just say

00:17:26.680 no. Remember that? No, we don't say that anymore. Now we say just when you do use fentanyl and when

00:17:33.060 you do shoot up heroin, do it a little more slowly. Okay. And whatever you do, don't be ashamed that

00:17:39.600 you're a heroin addict. That's the worst thing in the world. Don't feel any shame. Be proud, actually. 0.93

00:17:45.240 Be proud that you're taking heroin a little bit more slowly and using all of the sometimes city

00:17:53.000 subsidized tools to shoot up. Does this seem like the kind of public service announcement that is going

00:18:02.540 to reduce drug use? I don't think so. Reagan used to have this line. He said,

00:18:10.320 it's not that our liberal friends are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that are 0.92

00:18:13.820 not so. Nowhere is this truer than in the war on drugs. We are told that this is the gospel truth

00:18:21.980 that the war on drugs failed. The war on drugs failed. It didn't work. The policy of the United

00:18:27.820 States from the 1970s through 1990s was a total failure. And so we got to get rid of that. And

00:18:33.760 we got to try some new tack on drug use and stop criminalizing it and stop arresting people for it.

00:18:38.960 And just actually give them the tools that they need to shoot up drugs in a different way.

00:18:43.980 None of that is true. The war on drugs worked. I know nobody says it anymore. Even on the right,

00:18:51.240 people don't say it, but it's true. If you look at illicit drug use from the 1970s to the 1990s,

00:18:56.160 it dropped dramatically. Many fewer people were using illegal drugs starting from the 1970s down

00:19:05.320 through the 1990s. And then we started to reverse some of those policies and drug use is back up

00:19:09.000 now to an all-time high. Now, sure, you can tweak different programs. You can tweak different

00:19:15.640 policies along the way. But the problem with the war on drugs was not that there were too many

00:19:22.680 restrictions. The problem with the war on drugs is not that there was too much shame.

00:19:27.400 Don't be ashamed. Don't be ashamed that you're a crackhead, especially in the era of Hunter Biden. 0.92

00:19:32.960 I can see why the government is pushing this stuff. Don't be ashamed you're a crackhead. 1.00

00:19:36.660 Just smoke crack out of this pipe that we're giving you, we in the government. No, that's an insane idea. 0.99

00:19:42.960 You should be ashamed. Shame is a powerful tool. Shame is your friend.

00:19:47.300 Welcome shame when you are doing shameful things. That is your conscience telling you to stop doing

00:19:53.520 what you're doing. It's like when you're a little kid and you put your hand on the hot burner on the

00:19:57.560 stove and you say, ow, my hand hurts. Those little nerves in your fingers that make you pull your hand

00:20:02.380 away, those help you. The pain that you feel, that helps you because it tells you avoid doing this in

00:20:08.800 the future. That's what shame does for your soul. That's what guilt does. Okay, you say, ah, ooh,

00:20:14.280 my soul doesn't feel very good when I shot up that heroin. Good. Cultivate that. Use that and allow that to

00:20:21.060 turn you away from what you are doing. But we live in an upside down society now that has no, that has

00:20:26.800 completely lost that sense of what's right and wrong and good and bad. Total disorder. This is what, this is

00:20:33.880 what our society has led to. It has led Joe Biden, perhaps to make a little Freudian slip over the weekend

00:20:39.940 when he said that democracy has never been good. Ladies and gentlemen, today we remember and we

00:20:47.840 reaffirm freedom is worth the sacrifice. Democracy is not perfect. It's never been good. Perfect.

00:20:57.700 But it's worth fighting for. It's never been good. Perfect. A Freudian slip, of course, is where you say

00:21:03.540 one thing, but you mean your mother. And that would appear to be what Joe Biden has engaged in over the

00:21:08.620 weekend. And now, of course, Joe Biden has no respect for democracy. The Democrats generally are far less

00:21:14.880 democratic than the Republicans. That's why the Democrats want to take a lot of decisions away

00:21:19.860 from the people. Decisions over the definition of marriage. Decisions over abortion, whether or not

00:21:25.980 you can kill your baby. Decisions over all sorts of issues. They want to take that away from the people 0.99

00:21:31.580 and take it away from the people's representatives and put it into the bureaucrats' hands or put it into

00:21:36.420 transnational institutions or put it into unaccountable woke corporations, actually. A lot of our speech

00:21:42.200 policy now is no longer made in the properly political sphere. It's made by the corporations.

00:21:46.560 It's made by big tech. So they're very anti-democratic in that way. But Biden actually makes something of a

00:21:51.780 point here when he says democracy has never been good. Democracy is not concerned. It's not focused

00:21:59.160 primarily on what's good. That's what aristocracy is about. Just a really basic overview. There are

00:22:06.820 three main forms of government. Monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy. That's the perfectly fine version of

00:22:14.520 those governments. Then there's a bad version. The bad version of monarchy is tyranny. The bad version

00:22:18.480 of aristocracy is oligarchy. The bad version of democracy is mob rule. Democracy is concerned with what

00:22:23.500 the people want. And aristocracy is, in theory, concerned with what is best. That's what the word

00:22:29.040 aristo means. So it's true. Democracy is not primarily concerned with what is good. And this is

00:22:37.700 why the Founding Fathers severely limited democracy and put a lot of guardrails on democracy. Part of

00:22:42.980 our government is democratic. Part of our government is not so democratic. There are lots of elements of

00:22:47.040 aristocracy in our government. There are lots of guardrails. The judiciary is not particularly

00:22:52.280 democratic. When the country was founded, the Senate was not particularly democratic. Today,

00:22:56.700 the bureaucracy is not particularly democratic. There are all sorts of guardrails on democracy here

00:23:01.300 because the Founding Fathers knew that there were certain rights and obligations that transcend any

00:23:06.340 form of government and transcend the will of the people. One of which is, to take us right back to the

00:23:11.220 top of the show today, the natural right and obligation to protect yourself, whether the people want you to

00:23:18.020 have that right or not. You know, the world is changing very fast. Everything we thought that we already knew

00:23:25.180 is being called into question, including the question of our age. What is a woman? Thankfully, we are about to

00:23:33.600 get to the bottom of that question tomorrow, June 1st, when Matt Walsh's new Daily Wire original documentary,

00:23:39.080 What is a Woman?, premieres live on backstage at 8 p.m. Eastern. If you are not a Daily Wire member,

00:23:44.560 you got to head on over to whatisawoman.com. Subscribe today because you will not want to miss

00:23:49.580 this night. I'll be there. Ben will be there. Drew, the man himself, Matt Walsh, and the God King,

00:23:55.220 Jeremy Boring. You have never seen a backstage like this. For a year, Matt traveled the world.

00:24:00.960 He went all over the world asking gender theory experts a simple question. What is a woman? Check 0.98

00:24:06.240 out the trailer. What is a woman? Can you tell me that? Well, you're at the Women's March. You

00:24:14.940 must have some idea. I'm a husband. I'm a father for, I host a talk show. I give speeches. I write

00:24:21.860 books. I like to make sense of things. A woman is not anything in particular. There is not one 1.00

00:24:26.680 particular thing. It could be many things to many people. Some women have penises, right? Some men have 0.73

00:24:31.600 vaginas. And so they go on the internet and they're told that all their problems will be solved 1.00

00:24:37.340 if they become a man. There are masculine girls. There are feminine boys. What are we going to do 0.73

00:24:43.820 about that? Carve them up? I care about the truth. I care about children. I care about the women who 0.52

00:24:49.660 are having their opportunities stolen from them. Based on what I'm saying, would you ever want to move

00:24:53.480 to America? They say no. Never. He flew to Africa. The man flew to Africa to ask a tribe this question.

00:25:13.120 This fight is for truth itself. Help us to expose the madness. Help us to reveal some truth by becoming

00:25:19.120 a Daily Wire member by going to whatisawoman.com. Join us for the premiere tomorrow, 8 p.m. Eastern

00:25:24.060 on Backstage. You will not want to miss this evening. We will be right back with a lot more.

00:25:41.100 Joe Biden's claim over the weekend that democracy has never been good,

00:25:45.660 revealing his deepest thoughts. That was not the only gaffe he's made in recent days. Joe Biden was

00:25:52.560 just giving a commencement address at the University of Delaware, his alma mater, in which he claimed that

00:25:59.100 the right, the conservatives, the Trump supporters, the January 6thers killed two police officers at the

00:26:07.400 Capitol. A mob of insurrectionists stormed the Capitol. Very citadel of democracy. Imagine what

00:26:16.280 you'd be thinking today if you had heard this morning before you got here that a group of a thousand

00:26:22.140 people broke down the doors of the Parliament of Great Britain, killed two police officers, smashed

00:26:31.060 and ransacked the office of members of the British Parliament or any other. What would you think?

00:26:41.240 What would you think? What would you think? Joe Biden is too old to put on the disingenuous

00:26:47.780 emotional voice. He was much better at it when he was younger, but he's still trying.

00:26:52.140 And this was, this was not off the cuff. This was a very carefully written speech. And you can

00:26:59.380 know how carefully written the speech was because he doesn't exactly claim that the January 6th,

00:27:07.800 the worst day in American history, January 6th. He doesn't exactly claim that they killed two police

00:27:13.540 officers. He insinuates it. He heavily implies it, but he doesn't say it. What he says is,

00:27:20.900 a mob of insurrectionists stormed the Capitol, the very citadel of democracy,

00:27:25.760 even though the doors were opened for them by the cops at various entryways. Okay, nevermind.

00:27:31.560 We'll let that go. A mob of insurrectionists stormed the Capitol, the very citadel of democracy.

00:27:36.940 Imagine what you'd be thinking today if you had heard this morning that a group of a thousand

00:27:41.780 people stormed the doors of Parliament in Great Britain, killed two police officers,

00:27:45.580 smashed and ransacked the offices of the Parliament. He's putting it in a hypothetical.

00:27:50.900 Because he knows that if he says the January 6th, violent, terrible, insurrectionists terrorists,

00:27:57.620 they killed two police officers, that would be a flat out lie. We know that did not happen. At the

00:28:04.500 Capitol, the mob did not kill any police officers. Initially, we were told that they killed one police

00:28:11.560 officer Brian Sicknick, but they didn't. He died after January 6th, not even the same day, a day or two

00:28:19.480 later, and he died of natural causes. That's what the medical examiner ruled. Then later, two cops who

00:28:26.700 were present on January 6th at the Capitol killed themselves, which is really weird in and of itself.

00:28:34.240 Probably there should be some investigation into that if there hasn't been already.

00:28:40.520 But whatever the investigation would conclude, surely they could not say that the mob killed

00:28:45.820 these cops at the Capitol. That did not happen. So Biden can't say that. He can insinuate it though.

00:28:52.480 He can put it into this hypothetical. Imagine, imagine if instead of the mob just being a horn hat guy

00:28:59.420 dancing around the rotunda and a dad cracking a Coors Light in someone's office, imagine if

00:29:04.540 it had been the terrorists and that were in Britain or in this place or in that place. Imagine if,

00:29:11.060 well, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. If I had some ham, I could have a ham sandwich. If I

00:29:15.720 had some bread, these hypotheticals don't really say very much about what occurred because they're so

00:29:20.580 outside the realm of reality of what actually happened. But the reason Biden is doing that,

00:29:25.840 the reason he's giving this carefully written speech is to call you a killer because he's saying

00:29:30.800 that the people at the Capitol are representative of half the country who, which supported Donald

00:29:36.720 Trump, which is conservative, which is Republican, and the people at the Capitol killed cops. 0.97

00:29:40.740 So therefore you are a cop killer. You are a murderer. You are a threat to our citadel of democracy, 1.00

00:29:47.000 our sacred democracy. And therefore Biden is justifying retaliation against you.

00:29:52.240 So that's all this is about. That's all the January 6th stuff is about.

00:29:57.120 You know this because January 6th not only was not the worst insurrection in the history of America,

00:30:02.580 it wasn't the worst insurrection of the year. The worst insurrection of the year was BLM, 0.92

00:30:06.880 which took place not for one afternoon in the Capitol rotunda where they didn't kill anybody.

00:30:11.780 BLM took place over the course of about eight months in 2020 and killed lots of people,

00:30:16.600 killed dozens of people, didn't just attack one federal building, attacked multiple federal

00:30:20.420 buildings, didn't just ransack the lobby, but actually threw Molotov cocktails at some of

00:30:24.460 those buildings and burned down private businesses and went to people's places of work and homes and

00:30:30.780 ransacked stores and wrought all kinds of havoc. And you never hear the Democrats saying peep about

00:30:36.480 that. Actually what the Democrats did was bail out the criminals, like Kamala Harris, who raised money

00:30:41.840 to bail out, not the peaceful protesters, but to bail out the criminals. So you know it's not about

00:30:46.420 our democracy or political violence or anything like that. It's about calling you a terrorist,

00:30:52.580 calling you the ordinary American conservative, a grave threat, and then justifying retaliation

00:30:57.440 against you. Whether that be changing some of the voting laws as they did in 2020, whether that be

00:31:03.680 limiting some of your political rights, whether that be trying to push, I don't know, gun control,

00:31:10.160 whether that be trying to push any other of their longstanding political action items. That is what

00:31:15.860 he is doing there. And you're seeing it happen around the world. Just up in America's hat,

00:31:20.640 Justin Kestro Trudeau has decided that he is now going to ban handguns and frankly, even more than

00:31:28.540 handguns in Canada. We're introducing legislation to implement a national freeze on handgun ownership.

00:31:38.220 What this means is that it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer, or import handguns

00:31:47.020 anywhere in Canada. In other words, we're capping the market for handguns.

00:31:54.300 As a further part of this new legislation, we're also fighting gun smuggling and trafficking

00:32:00.420 by increasing maximum criminal penalties and providing more tools for law enforcement to

00:32:06.740 investigate firearm crimes. And we'll require the permanent alteration of long gun magazines

00:32:13.240 so they can never hold more than five rounds.

00:32:17.420 What Trudeau is revealing here is something that we have long suspected. I call Canada America's hat

00:32:24.520 or George Washington's greatest mistake because Washington didn't go and take it. But Canada

00:32:29.740 really is an extension of America. More specifically, the Canadian government is just an extension of the

00:32:35.840 American Democratic Party. So this order in Canada is coming out because of a shooting in Texas.

00:32:42.100 That is the impetus for this law. So a shooting at the southernmost part of the separate country to

00:32:49.380 the south of Canada is what is causing Trudeau to react, just like a Democratic governor would say,

00:32:55.900 and pass this gun law. But notice the bait and switch here. You have this awful shooting in Texas,

00:33:02.200 which is committed using a rifle. And so Trudeau says, we're going to ban handguns.

00:33:07.220 Why would you ban handguns? That doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. If you're

00:33:11.240 specifically targeting the guns that are being used in this crime, then why would you ban handguns?

00:33:17.840 Well, we're also banning magazines for rifles so that you can't have many rounds at all in your

00:33:24.000 rifles. But we're also going to ban handguns. Why? Because while the Canadian left, while Trudeau is

00:33:31.180 using the shooting in Texas as the excuse to pass this law, they've wanted to do this for a very long

00:33:36.700 time. And there's a lot of evidence that this will not be successful in reducing any kinds of

00:33:41.000 murder. And there's actually a lot of evidence that it will be unsuccessful. Because in the 1990s,

00:33:45.880 there was an elementary school shooting, actually, in the United Kingdom. And the UK decided to ban

00:33:51.280 handguns after that shooting. So this is 1996, 1997. In the six years that followed, not only did

00:33:59.620 murders not decrease in the United Kingdom, they actually increased. They actually almost doubled.

00:34:04.780 So the banning handguns policy did not have the effect that the politicians who sold it to the

00:34:09.580 public told them that it would. Actually, it was the opposite effect. And what you see, maybe you

00:34:15.120 see a reduction in gun crime, maybe. But you see an increase in other kinds of crime, and you see an

00:34:20.080 increase in murders as well. So now instead of being killed with a gun, you'll be killed with a

00:34:23.580 knife. Does that make you feel better? Does that make you sleep easy at night? I don't think so. 0.99

00:34:27.120 All it means is now you can no longer protect yourself, which isn't a natural obligation that

00:34:33.440 you have. And I'm not saying, by the way, that the natural obligation to protect yourself and the

00:34:38.740 right that you have to protect yourself means that the current American gun laws that we have right

00:34:43.100 now are the be all and end all for all time in all places. That's not the argument I'm making.

00:34:47.000 If, for instance, I were on a desert island and there were 10 people on this desert island and

00:34:54.240 there were no guns, I do not think that my natural right and duty to protect myself and my family

00:35:00.180 means that I need a gun. I'd probably do just fine with a conch shell and a coconut and maybe a big

00:35:06.560 plank of wood because, presumably, that's all the other guys on the island have, so I could protect

00:35:11.960 myself with that. But we do not live on an island with just conch shells and coconuts and wood. We

00:35:18.620 live in a country where there are more guns than people. We live in a country with a long history

00:35:24.980 of gun ownership and with guns that you are not going to get rid of. Even if you go door to door

00:35:29.860 to confiscate, I don't think you're going to get rid of them. And we have a second amendment which

00:35:34.020 protects people's rights to own guns. And that second amendment, by the way, didn't even establish the

00:35:38.960 right to have a gun. It just acknowledged the pre-existing right to have a gun, which we inherited

00:35:43.480 from the British. So in this country, self-defense, your right to protect yourself and your family,

00:35:50.000 means gun ownership. That's just what it means in reality, okay? The circumstances of our politics

00:35:56.880 means that the natural right to self-defense looks like something. And in America, it looks like

00:36:02.340 having a gun, even though the left is going to try to take that from you and seriously damage

00:36:08.880 your ability to protect yourself. But don't worry, we'll just wait on the cops, right?

00:36:12.940 The cop, the left telling you, the cops are racist and evil and terrible. And that's why they need to 0.98

00:36:18.900 have all the guns. Does that make sense to you? I don't think the cops are incompetent and stupid

00:36:24.200 and wicked and, and cowardly and inefficient. And that's why they should be the only people who can 1.00

00:36:30.780 protect you. Does that make sense? No, none of the arguments that they, that they are making,

00:36:35.500 make any sense. There's a really basic one that makes sense. Protect yourself.

00:36:40.240 You should protect yourself. That, that's a pretty simple argument, isn't it?

00:36:45.200 There is no bottom to the slippery slope that we are on in this country.

00:36:49.700 When it comes to crime, when it comes to the justice system, when it comes to especially

00:36:54.920 weird sex stuff. We've, we've been thinking that we're at the bottom of the slippery slope since

00:37:00.600 the 90s and it just keeps, we just keep on slipping. There's a story now out of a North

00:37:07.180 Carolina public preschool. There's a public school that has preschool as part of it.

00:37:13.500 The preschool teacher was just taught indoctrinated, or was just caught rather indoctrinating kids into

00:37:19.860 LGBT, LMNOP ideology. How, how is this even possible to indoctrinate a third, a three-year-old 0.65

00:37:26.740 or a four-year-old into LGBT? Well, the teacher was teaching his students colors, colors, and then

00:37:35.480 was caught. I'm sorry, it was a woman. That makes it slightly less creepy. She was then caught 0.98

00:37:43.740 using the LGBT flag to teach the students colors. The cards that were used in this lesson are created

00:37:50.800 by this company, Buy Us Box, which made sets of flashcards showcasing non-binary and transgender

00:37:57.200 animals, gender-neutral nursery rhymes, and a blackness collection. The company, I'm just reading

00:38:03.320 it. This is right from the Daily Mail. The company was created by two women who said they were inspired

00:38:07.700 by the murder of George Floyd. What? That checks every wokeness box. The company, because of,

00:38:16.120 because of George Floyd, dying while he had a toxic, a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system,

00:38:24.840 resisting arrest, he died. And then that was called a racist murder. Because of that, they were inspired

00:38:32.340 to make gay flashcards to teach three-year-olds about transgenderism in public schools. Does that, 0.99

00:38:39.400 does that, do you follow that logic? In a way, I kind of do. The logic is all of the traditional

00:38:46.100 standards of our society are bad. We need to get rid of all of them. That's, that's the logic. 1.00

00:38:51.840 In Marx's words, it's the ruthless criticism of all that exists. And it's on race, and it's on

00:38:56.300 justice, and it's on drugs, and it's on crime, and it's on sex, and it's on education, and it's on

00:39:01.000 everything. And the left is going to tell you, there is no, there's no LGBT indoctrination in

00:39:08.840 preschool. Take off your tinfoil hat, you crazy conspiracy theorist. In public preschool? No, 0.99

00:39:15.880 no, wacko. Okay, Alex Jones. No, your taxpayer dollars are not going to indoctrinate three-year-olds

00:39:24.680 into LGBT and transgenderism, and it's good that they are. What was that last part? No,

00:39:31.800 I said that your taxpayer dollars are not, no, I said after that part. I said, oh, it's good that they

00:39:35.540 are. It's good, it's good that we are doing exactly what you're accusing us of doing. I

00:39:41.760 mention it just to remind you, this stuff actually is happening. Don't let them gaslight you. And

00:39:46.220 it's not going to stop at three. It's not going to stop at three. We used to say, it's not going

00:39:50.600 to stop in college. It's not going to stop in high school. It's not going to stop in middle school.

00:39:53.860 It's not going to stop in elementary school. It's not going to stop in preschool. It's going to go,

00:39:56.660 you're going to get this stuff in vitro pretty soon. Okay, you're going to get this stuff for

00:40:01.040 one-year-olds. Baby's first monkeypox party or something. That'll be like a little mobile that

00:40:10.680 they'll have over their crib, and it'll be all sorts of sexual icons and rainbows and all sorts 0.91

00:40:16.260 of creepy stuff. That's what you're going to get. Okay, because the left's total revolution on all

00:40:23.320 aspects of society demand it. They're going to deny it the whole time, and as they're denying it,

00:40:27.660 they're going to tell you that it's good that it's happening. A father has taken to TikTok

00:40:33.540 to ask for your help. It's hard raising a kid today. The economy's not great. Inflation's

00:40:41.280 through the roof. And this dad, he's suddenly realized it's really hard to pay for his child's

00:40:48.160 transgender surgery. I'm raising money to help fund my son's transition-related costs.

00:40:54.600 I'm sharing this with his permission. Basically, we already have a diagnosis of

00:41:01.240 gender dysphoria for him. We have gotten his blood work done, and we need to start him on 0.98

00:41:06.740 puberty blockers as soon as possible. Now, I personally, I transitioned later, so I wasn't

00:41:13.180 familiar with how puberty blockers worked. Basically, my insurance doesn't cover this,

00:41:18.920 which is wonderful, right? So, this guy, I assume it's a guy. I don't know these days.

00:41:26.760 If he's promoting transgenderism, he might really be a chick who took a bunch of drugs. I don't know. 1.00

00:41:31.340 It's really hard to tell. He's kind of just amorphous, and he's got weird colored hair,

00:41:36.280 and he's got a nose ring, and his voice is a little odd. And whatever he is or she is,

00:41:41.860 he is promoting transgenderism for his kid. See how confusing it is? For his kid, and he wants you 0.99

00:41:50.320 to pay for that. How come all the transgender kids seem to come from these weirdo, psycho, 1.00

00:42:01.040 pervert parents? Isn't that kind of weird? What are the odds? This is not data. I'm just using 1.00

00:42:08.040 anecdotes here, but I know lots of people. Look, I come from New York. I lived in California. I come

00:42:14.300 from very liberal backgrounds. I have multiple friends who have struggled with sexual confusion,

00:42:21.480 transgenderism. And I notice they never seem to come from normal families. They always seem to come 1.00

00:42:28.580 from extremely dysfunctional families and from parents with lots of disorders. Isn't that weird?

00:42:36.080 Because we're told that transgenderism is just a totally natural thing. It can happen to anyone.

00:42:40.660 It's biological. It comes from your innermost truest self. And yet, the normal families never

00:42:47.680 seem to produce. I'm not saying never. I'm not saying never, never. But I'm saying it's so

00:42:51.840 exceedingly rare, and it's so increasingly common with dysfunctional, weirdo, pervert dads like this guy 0.98

00:42:59.820 who's trying to mutilate his child's body. How did he get the child? I don't know. I don't know. 0.91

00:43:06.220 These days, you can get a child all sorts of ways, apparently. The only way that's discouraged is

00:43:11.620 the old-fashioned way. But who knows? Who knows what this kind of family situation is? And he's saying,

00:43:18.120 yeah, I really want to put my kid on puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, mutilate my poor 1.00

00:43:21.920 little kid's body. Because he, he totally has this condition. It's not just me projecting it onto my 0.93

00:43:29.840 kid. Even though kids just totally absorb whatever their parents say and do. And this is why you got

00:43:38.020 to watch your language around kids. Because you know that kids are like sponges, and they're

00:43:41.620 absorbing everything. This is why you've got to watch your behavior, because kids are modeling their

00:43:44.760 behavior after your behavior. So the more dysfunction you get in the family, the more dysfunction you're

00:43:50.960 going to get through society. I saw someone responding to one of these incidents. They said,

00:43:55.880 you know, listen, you can't legislate family, okay? Listen, get your politics out of my family.

00:44:03.400 How dare you? What do you, what does that mean? You sometimes hear people say, you can't legislate

00:44:08.820 morality. I don't know what that means. You can't legislate culture. I don't know what that means.

00:44:13.500 You can't legislate family. What does that, what do you think laws permitting no-fault divorce are?

00:44:18.640 That's legislating family. That's going in the political system and saying, this is what family

00:44:23.360 is going to look like now. What do you think Obergefell was? The Obergefell decision that

00:44:28.200 redefined marriage. Not even that long ago. What was it, about seven years ago? Redefined marriage

00:44:33.400 to include monogamous same-sex unions. What do you think that was? That was legislating family.

00:44:38.020 That was culture being downstream of politics. And not even a majority of the people. It wasn't,

00:44:44.220 it wasn't democracy. Whenever gay marriage, quote unquote, was put up for a vote, it was 1.00

00:44:48.840 shot down. In California, it was shot down. Prop 8, it was shot down. And then the judges

00:44:54.160 go in and they say, no, we're going to, we're going to change that. We, the, the self-styled

00:45:00.680 aristocracy, not much of an aristocracy, if you ask me, we're going to redefine all these

00:45:04.960 basic things. You're, you're seeing this now play out, this religion of leftism, which is

00:45:13.600 especially concerned on the sexual front with LGBT, but you're seeing this religion play out 1.00

00:45:17.820 throughout the schools. It's not just the pre-K teacher who got caught using gay flashcards with 0.98

00:45:22.900 their three-year-olds. You are now seeing whole schools that are dedicated to LGBT-ism. And, and by 0.85

00:45:31.260 the way, you're seeing straight kids move into these schools because sometimes those schools have

00:45:34.820 better academics. Magic City Acceptance Academy is a grade six through 12 public school designed to

00:45:43.380 cater to LGBT students in Alabama. I know, I did a double take when I heard that too. A lot of things

00:45:49.900 that I didn't expect, but this apparently exists in Alabama. And then the craziest part is you've got

00:45:55.740 straight kids moving into that school because the public schools are no good. So they're moving 1.00

00:45:59.900 into a school which offers, quote, a brave learning environment and LGBTQ affirming culture for all.

00:46:07.180 Just more evidence that this is a religion. In the same way that when you had failing public schools 0.94

00:46:15.260 in the past, and even today in other parts of the country, sometimes you would get students enrolling

00:46:20.920 in Catholic schools because the Catholic schools were relatively pretty good. So you get all sorts of

00:46:24.580 students who weren't Catholic necessarily, who'd say, yeah, well, my kid's not Catholic, but I'm going to

00:46:29.080 send them to the Catholic school because it's got better academic standards. Well, now as the 1.00

00:46:33.460 Catholic schools are under attack, you now have LGBT schools, a school designed for the promotion of 1.00

00:46:42.180 LGBT ideology. And you've got the straight kids going because they say, well, look, my kid might not be

00:46:46.480 LGBT yet, but I'm going to send my kid there to that school because it's better than the public schools. 1.00

00:46:52.220 Of course, it's a religion. I mean, if you say your true self is really this, your soul and your soul

00:46:59.680 is at odds with your body. And so your soul is the soul of a woman, whatever that means, but your body 0.97

00:47:04.280 is the body of a man. And so you're really a woman and you're going to get to use the kid's bathroom. 1.00

00:47:09.060 That is a religious movement. And it's being backed by the state with taxpayer dollars.

00:47:14.100 The Biden administration, we'll get to this tomorrow. The Biden administration has just said

00:47:17.040 that K through 12 schools now have to let dudes into the girls' bathroom and changing area if they 1.00

00:47:23.300 want to get federal funds for food, for lunches and breakfasts and meals. If they want those federal

00:47:28.060 funds, sorry, you got to let Husky Hank go and change next to your daughter in the locker room or 0.64

00:47:32.620 go use the bathroom. That is a religious view that is being backed by the state. It's very nearly a state

00:47:40.460 establishment at the federal level. It's being done with your taxpayer dollars to force that on your

00:47:46.240 kids. And it's creating a very dangerous situation for our culture. And in the case of dudes going to

00:47:50.880 the girls' bathroom, just a physically very dangerous situation reminds us of our primary,

00:47:56.180 not our primary, but one of our primary obligations that we have in a society. And it's a duty and it's

00:48:01.940 an obligation and it's a right, regardless of what Joe Biden or any of these other idiots want you to 1.00

00:48:07.120 believe. That is the duty and the right to protect yourself and your family and your community. 1.00
