The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1051 - Another COVID “Conspiracy Theory” Confirmed

00:00:00.000 Yesterday, Joe Biden made a major announcement that should have roiled world markets

00:00:05.520 when he casually told the world that he has cancer.

00:00:09.240 My mother drove us, and rather than us be able to walk, and guess what?

00:00:15.160 The first frost, you know what was happening.

00:00:18.400 You had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick off the window.

00:00:23.340 That's why I and so damn many other people I grew up have cancer,

00:00:26.460 and why can't, for the longest time, Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation.

00:00:32.300 Now, the Republican National Committee immediately picked up this statement and raised the question,

00:00:37.880 hold on, does Biden have cancer?

00:00:40.500 Which prompted the libs immediately to go into damage control mode.

00:00:44.460 Glenn Kessler, who is the lead fact checker for the Washington Post, responded by asking, 0.96

00:00:50.540 quote, how dumb is this tweet from the RNC? 0.97

00:00:53.780 Check out Biden's medical report. 0.97

00:00:55.520 Before he became president, he'd had non-melanoma skin cancers removed.

00:01:00.960 Has no one at the RNC ever had this common procedure?

00:01:04.180 Gosh, this is crazy.

00:01:06.020 But no matter how much spin the Washington Post fact checker spun,

00:01:10.600 he couldn't change what Biden said.

00:01:13.240 Biden didn't say, I had cancer.

00:01:15.640 I had cancer in the past.

00:01:17.180 He said, I have cancer, present tense.

00:01:19.800 And the craziest part of all of it is not that Biden said that.

00:01:24.660 It's not the announcement.

00:01:25.940 It's not that the liberal fact checker was dishonest.

00:01:29.280 His job is to check the facts, but he was totally dishonest.

00:01:32.480 The craziest part is that no one really seemed to care.

00:01:36.820 The president of the United States announced that he currently has cancer and no one took

00:01:43.340 it seriously because we all know that he has dementia.

00:01:47.420 We all just sort of waited for the White House staffers who are actually running the country

00:01:53.040 once again to contradict the president, which they did a few hours later, at which point

00:01:58.260 the corrupt media memory hold to the president's comments and went right back to their regularly

00:02:03.240 scheduled programming.

00:02:04.720 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:02:05.380 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:12.940 Welcome back to the show.

00:02:14.220 My favorite comment yesterday is from Allison B., who says Michael Knowles' entire response

00:02:19.640 to the GOP cowardice in the House is such a dad response.

00:02:23.660 I'm not mad.

00:02:24.940 I'm just disappointed.

00:02:26.180 That's how I feel.

00:02:26.820 That's how I feel, congressman.

00:02:28.620 I'm not even mad.

00:02:30.760 I'm just disappointed.

00:02:33.000 You know what never disappoints me?

00:04:01.340 So, the announcement was crazy from Biden. 0.91

00:04:06.000 The media response was pathetic, although expected. 0.98

00:04:09.960 The people who were supposed to be reporting the facts and speaking truth to power just immediately tried to flack for this guy and lie and deceive the American people. 0.98

00:04:19.040 That was unfortunate.

00:04:21.580 The whole bit about, what, the windshield wipers and the oil slicks on his windshield.

00:04:28.160 And, I mean, it's just, it's very sad, but if you've ever had relatives who have suffered from dementia, you know, this is just what they sound like.

00:04:35.280 And so, you just say, oh, yeah.

00:04:36.880 Wow, what did the oil slicks sound like?

00:04:39.780 Aunt Sally, great Aunt Sally were the, oh, gosh, that's really interesting.

00:04:44.280 No, you haven't told me about the oil slicks.

00:04:46.040 Tell me about that.

00:04:46.580 The media aspect, though, is really frustrating because we in America pride ourselves on our free press.

00:04:56.900 We have a free press, unlike those oppressive countries.

00:04:59.480 You know those really bad countries where they have state-controlled media?

00:05:02.480 Well, we have a totally free press.

00:05:04.660 That's at least what our press tells us.

00:05:06.260 And yet, I watch the news, and I have to tell you, sometimes I wonder if we wouldn't have a more honest media if we were living in North Korea.

00:05:16.220 I watched this clip yesterday from KOB4, so it's one of these local news affiliates, local news affiliate in New Mexico, running a segment, a news segment, on how you're supposed to completely change all your language to deny reality.

00:05:32.560 Let's talk about DEI in the workplace, and that's better known as diversity, equity, and inclusion.

00:05:39.160 How do we go about the discussion of pronouns?

00:05:41.700 So, essentially, the employee will reach out and say, hey, this is my preferred pronoun.

00:05:47.640 This is how I would like to be addressed in the workplace.

00:05:51.760 How we go about it is by respecting their request, right?

00:05:55.360 So, you want to make sure when they say, this is what I would like to be referred to, we address it, and we honor that, and we, moving forward, use that term.

00:06:05.820 Whether it's he, she, they, them, their, whatever they would like to use, we want to make sure we honor that request and make them feel comfortable in the workplace.

00:06:13.560 Is it appropriate for someone to ask what someone's preferred pronoun usages are?

00:06:17.080 You probably wouldn't want to ask.

00:06:18.520 That person would ask you.

00:06:19.660 So, you know, if you, if they haven't fully made the decision on what pronoun they would like to use, let them come around to that decision and then ask.

00:06:29.720 If they haven't asked yet, it's not safe to assume.

00:06:32.400 We don't want to make any assumptions.

00:06:34.100 We don't want to make any assumptions.

00:06:35.460 That's great.

00:06:35.980 Let's talk a little bit more about all of the language that people should use, and if they don't use that language, how they're very bad people and they'll be fired,

00:06:43.860 and how we need to deny reality and call men women and women men.

00:06:47.380 I would find the media more credible if they were talking about how Kim Il-sung is the eternal leader of North Korea and is still alive, governing his people from the heavens.

00:07:00.000 That would, that is at least as fantastical or at least as realistic as what you're seeing here from the New Mexico news station.

00:07:10.960 In fact, in many ways, the state-controlled media in North Korea and China and Russia and wherever, all of, all of these terrible places on earth, in, in some ways, they're more honest.

00:07:22.240 Because at least, you know, okay, this is state-run media, so take it with a grain of salt.

00:07:26.240 In America, it's, it's in many ways worse because they pretend to be a free press, and yet they push this kind of madness, this kind of corporate establishment, absurd, dishonest madness.

00:07:43.180 That is propaganda. You have to see it. The reason I harp on this, I don't know, probably once a week we do at least some segment on just outright dishonesty in the media is you, you've, you've got to puncture it.

00:07:57.700 You've got to, once you see through that, it, it becomes a lot easier to deal with the media because you just know when you get a story from the New York Times,

00:08:05.060 or you get a story from the Associated Press, or you see a story trending on Twitter, and it's from one of the special, verified, credible sources from Facebook or Twitter.

00:08:13.300 You just know how to read it, and you know what to discount, and you know what the angle is going to be, and you can know, oh, if he says this, it actually means the opposite.

00:08:20.860 And, oh, Glenn Kessler said it? Well, then it definitely means the opposite.

00:08:23.840 And, oh, they're talking about COVID, so here's where they're going to be lying, and here's where they're getting their money, and you just know where the powers are.

00:08:30.060 You want to talk about COVID, this is the, this is the craziest COVID story I have read in at least four days.

00:08:37.760 This story, it comes, I have to be very careful about how I speak about this, because if I, if I say the wrong word,

00:08:44.640 it's kind of like in that DEI segment in New Mexico, if I use the wrong pronoun, if I use the wrong word, I will be censored.

00:08:50.140 This show will be shut down off of social media, and I want to hit my million subscribers on YouTube, so I'm going to be very careful.

00:08:55.180 I'm going to use the language here in the AP fact check.

00:08:59.920 Here is the claim.

00:09:02.560 A Swedish study shows that Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine changes recipients' DNA.

00:09:11.260 That's a claim, and the AP says this is totally false.

00:09:15.160 Okay, so what does the, what does the study do?

00:09:18.800 It says AP's assessment, false.

00:09:21.820 Well, what's true?

00:09:22.540 There was the study, out of Sweden, on the mRNA COVID vaccine, on the effect that the mRNA COVID vaccine has on DNA.

00:09:31.680 Now I'm just quoting directly from the AP, you can't take me down sensors.

00:09:35.700 The study tested whether the vaccine's mRNA could be converted to DNA, and found that this was the case.

00:09:44.520 So yes, it, it, it, it does change the DNA, that you just said, claim, it changes the DNA.

00:09:52.940 Assessment, false.

00:09:54.120 What does it get right?

00:09:55.040 It does change the DNA.

00:09:56.640 But here's why they say it's false.

00:09:58.700 They say it changed the DNA in certain lab-altered liver cell lines under experimental conditions.

00:10:04.560 It did not assess whether the vaccine alters the human genome outside of laboratory conditions.

00:10:09.880 So the, so, so, I can't even get through it.

00:10:15.020 I can't, the study is, is checking, do the mRNA vaccines affect DNA?

00:10:21.240 And the answer is yes, but we're going to rate it false, because it only did so in a study.

00:10:27.540 Listen, the study only showed that it did a thing in a study, and because the study didn't show that it does something outside of study, it's false.

00:10:33.700 It's 27 Pinocchios.

00:10:35.200 Keep your eyes on this one.

00:10:36.540 This is going to be a really important one, because you know the difference between truth and a conspiracy theory is six to nine months these days.

00:10:43.480 It starts out as a conspiracy theory.

00:10:45.220 Six months later, it's the gospel truth.

00:10:47.680 And I think that timeline is actually speeding up a little bit.

00:10:51.220 What else did they find?

00:10:51.980 I'm just reading from the AP.

00:10:53.600 During the study, the researchers were able to detect DNA that had been converted from the vaccine's mRNA in the lab-modified cell.

00:11:00.200 Still, the Swedish study only demonstrated that RNA had converted to DNA under particular conditions created in a lab, not in a human body.

00:11:08.860 What the hell do you think you're going to find?

00:11:10.240 You're doing a laboratory study.

00:11:11.880 Of course, you're only going to conclude things from the laboratory study.

00:11:14.920 Well, listen, and because the study didn't prove something that the study didn't study, this is 10,000 Pinocchios.

00:11:21.340 If such DNA had been incorporated into the genome, as suggested in the false claims, the fear is that it could potentially alter cell function or lead to cancer in certain cases.

00:11:30.500 But that wasn't observed in the study.

00:11:32.300 Hold on.

00:11:33.140 This is how they manage to be so dishonest and lie about what they've found.

00:11:37.760 Because they're saying, look, the only reason anyone cares about this is because maybe it could cause cancer.

00:11:41.440 But we didn't find that it causes cancer.

00:11:43.140 No.

00:11:43.540 Hold on.

00:11:43.800 That's not the only reason I'm worried about this.

00:11:47.020 I'm worried about the mRNA vaccines altering human DNA because I don't want it to alter human DNA.

00:11:54.700 And because all the people who pushed these shots told us they couldn't possibly alter the DNA.

00:11:58.940 And now you've got a study here showing that under certain laboratory conditions and certain cell lines, it actually did alter the DNA.

00:12:04.080 But never mind.

00:12:04.800 Nothing to see here.

00:12:05.680 Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

00:12:07.480 Just like the libs who pushed the shots told us that there is no way.

00:12:11.000 It's scientifically impossible.

00:12:12.280 Defy science that these vaccines could possibly affect women's menstruation.

00:12:16.640 Okay.

00:12:16.960 They affect women's menstruation a little bit. 0.93

00:12:18.900 Okay.

00:12:19.280 42% of women are experiencing changes in their menstruation after the shots.

00:12:23.320 And okay.

00:12:23.780 Actually, the changes are lasting in many cases longer than a week, which is the period of time that you observe these things to figure out the side effects of vaccines.

00:12:31.860 Okay.

00:12:32.300 Well, never mind.

00:12:33.280 Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

00:12:35.860 Trust the science unless it's a Swedish study on the mRNA effect on DNA.

00:14:09.420 The media want us to hear something different from Joe Biden than what Joe Biden said.

00:14:16.740 They want to rewrite what the president said.

00:14:19.040 They want to rewrite the studies about the COVID vaccines.

00:14:22.360 And they really want us to eat bugs.

00:14:25.540 This is one of the big propaganda pushes from the establishment, from the libs, from the World Economic Forum, from Hollywood celebrities, from liberal politicians, and from the establishment media.

00:14:39.040 For whatever reason, they really, really want you to eat bugs.

00:14:43.940 The future of food is being revolutionized by science, as new research helps bring unexpected ingredients to the table.

00:14:53.400 It kind of tastes like shrimp.

00:14:54.880 They have this seafood quality to them.

00:14:58.380 It reminds you of like a Frito or a chip.

00:15:01.580 Just like crunchy and a little oily and a little salty.

00:15:05.320 They taste like popcorn.

00:15:07.220 A very smushy taste.

00:15:08.740 Like a pudding, almost.

00:15:10.000 Like a pudding, if pudding were a disgusting bug.

00:15:14.540 Oh, hey, it tastes like a Frito. 0.99

00:15:16.920 If a Frito were a gross, disgusting, dirty, filthy bug that you're not supposed to eat. 0.98

00:15:23.660 Why are they doing this? 0.97

00:15:24.840 Well, they're doing this.

00:15:26.820 And they tell you why they're doing this.

00:15:28.560 They're doing this because of global warming.

00:15:31.220 Global warming is really bad. 0.97

00:15:33.060 And people keep having babies, especially all those dirty, poor, brown people in the foreign countries where we've tried. 1.00

00:15:39.040 We've tried our best to stop them from having children. 1.00

00:15:42.520 We've tried to sterilize them.

00:15:43.760 We've tried to give them contraception. 0.60

00:15:46.420 We've tried to promote abortion in their countries. 0.93

00:15:48.720 But unfortunately, their population problem keeps growing.

00:15:51.980 So says Bill Gates.

00:15:53.140 So says the liberal establishment around the world. 1.00

00:15:56.860 Darn, these guys keep having. 0.99

00:15:58.160 So this is going to be a big issue. 1.00

00:16:00.000 We've got to get all the poor people to eat bugs. 1.00

00:16:02.080 Do you think, do you really think that Bill Gates is going to be eating bugs?

00:16:09.880 I don't think so.

00:16:11.180 Do you think that Klaas Schwab and his friends in Davos at the World Economic Forum,

00:16:16.740 do you think they're going to sit down to a nice big bowl of bug porridge?

00:16:20.940 I don't think so.

00:16:22.400 Do you think the characters, the world leaders who made it down to Jeffrey Epstein's island

00:16:26.540 and had nice, nice fun Bacchanals down there, do you think they were eating bugs?

00:16:33.140 No.

00:16:33.800 They were doing lots of creepy things, but eating bugs was not one of them.

00:16:36.920 No, the bugs are not for them.

00:16:39.040 The bugs are for you.

00:16:40.240 Just like when the liberal elite says that people need to stop living in these single 1.00

00:16:47.020 family homes.

00:16:47.720 That's why they're going to change the zoning in San Francisco.

00:16:49.920 That's why they're changing the zoning in lots of cities.

00:16:53.260 It's just not efficient.

00:16:55.340 It's not good for the environment.

00:16:57.520 You're going to have to now live in a duplex or a quadruplex or a big apartment building,

00:17:01.900 and you're going to have to live in a tiny little apartment, and that's just important

00:17:06.040 for the environment.

00:17:08.160 They're not going to live in tiny little apartments.

00:17:10.520 That's just for all of us.

00:17:12.440 That's for all the rest of us.

00:17:14.720 Listen, you shouldn't be flying on airplanes as much.

00:17:18.200 You shouldn't be driving as much.

00:17:20.280 The price of gas really needs to go up.

00:17:22.640 Not only is it going up because of the mismanagement of the world by people like Joe Biden and the

00:17:27.400 rest of them, they want it to go up.

00:17:30.160 Barack Obama, when he was running for president in 2008, he said, my climate plan will involve

00:17:34.380 raising the price of gas.

00:17:36.860 That is intentional.

00:17:37.680 You have to do that to force people to get electric cars or to stop driving entirely and

00:17:42.200 take a bicycle or take public transportation, take a bus, take a train.

00:17:46.160 You have to do that.

00:17:47.600 Do you think that the elite are doing that?

00:17:50.480 Do you think the elite are eating bugs in their studio apartment that they're paying out the

00:17:55.940 nose for, that they don't own, they're just renting, and then they're getting on the subway?

00:17:58.780 Is that what they're doing?

00:17:59.800 No, of course not.

00:18:01.120 They're eating filet mignon in their gigantic mansions while they fly on private jets for

00:18:05.620 very, very short flights flying all over the world.

00:18:08.200 It's you.

00:18:09.280 You're the one that needs to cut back.

00:18:12.580 I'm not going to eat the bugs.

00:18:14.140 I'm going to make you a promise right now.

00:18:16.260 I will never eat the bugs.

00:18:19.160 Ever.

00:18:20.360 Oh, they're a good source of protein?

00:18:22.340 Don't care.

00:18:22.980 Oh, no, the cows are releasing methane because, okay, I don't care.

00:18:29.780 I don't care at all.

00:18:30.900 I am going to eat the steak.

00:18:32.260 I'm going to eat good ranchers in particular, but I'm going to eat all sorts of meat.

00:18:35.480 I'm not going to eat the bugs.

00:18:37.820 But what's the rationalist reason, Michael?

00:18:40.380 It's good protein.

00:18:41.420 Well, because when I eat, I'm not just, I'm not just a machine taking in protein so that

00:18:48.960 I can continue to function.

00:18:50.260 I'm not just some animal sticking my face in a feed sack so that I can chow down on

00:18:56.500 the gruel and go back and work at the widget factory.

00:18:58.960 I'm a human being.

00:19:00.580 You are a human being.

00:19:02.140 We live, at least at the moment, in civilization.

00:19:04.900 And it is very, very uncivilized to eat the bugs.

00:19:09.220 And more broadly, it's uncivilized to just view food, to view dining.

00:19:13.400 It's such a central human activity as just a way to get calories in there so you can go

00:19:19.200 back and work.

00:19:20.400 Work for whom?

00:19:21.280 Work for the elite that are not eating the bugs.

00:19:26.360 We need to suffer so the elite can thrive.

00:19:29.620 We need to cut back and pull back and stop doing and just shut up and stay home so the

00:19:36.600 elite can thrive.

00:19:38.120 This is what Pete Buttigieg, who was in fact, you want to talk about man as machine.

00:19:42.080 This guy was in fact constructed in a laboratory at Langley.

00:19:45.560 I'm convinced of that.

00:19:46.740 No one can convince me otherwise.

00:19:48.520 I think it was when George H.W. Bush was the CIA director.

00:19:51.780 He initiated a very important project.

00:19:55.240 It was the Build a Buttigieg project.

00:19:56.880 And they got all the screws right.

00:19:58.360 And they finally, and then he just one day, like Frankenstein's monster, he got up.

00:20:02.120 He was animated.

00:20:03.460 He said, hi.

00:20:03.980 Hi there.

00:20:04.400 Hey, guys.

00:20:05.160 Hey, isn't it really good?

00:20:06.560 The gas prices are really high?

00:20:07.660 That's really good because then we can all drive Teslas and that'll just be great, won't

00:20:12.840 it?

00:20:13.140 So Pete Buttigieg shows up.

00:20:14.680 He's in congressional testimony and Buttigieg says, this is really great that, yeah, there's

00:20:22.000 a little bit more pain on the gas prices, but now people can buy electric cars.

00:20:26.840 The more pain we are all experiencing from the high price of gas, the more benefit there

00:20:32.060 is for those who can access electric vehicles.

00:20:34.080 And who, I can't believe he said it.

00:20:39.160 He just said, I hadn't even listened to the clip that closely last night when I first came

00:20:43.260 across it.

00:20:43.820 He just said exactly what I said.

00:20:46.180 He just said the quiet part out loud.

00:20:48.840 What did I just say?

00:20:49.760 I just said, all the people have to suffer so the elite can thrive.

00:20:53.300 And he actually said, on C-SPAN cameras, well, yeah, yeah, all the poor, all the little

00:20:59.580 people need to have pain at the gas tank so that it's a benefit.

00:21:03.440 The pain of the people at the gas tank is a benefit for those of us who have Teslas.

00:21:09.400 Who has electric cars?

00:21:12.040 Rich people.

00:21:14.360 Wealthy people have Teslas.

00:21:17.080 Normal people don't have Teslas.

00:21:19.460 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's really, it's really great.

00:21:22.180 And Pete is astonished that anyone would object to this.

00:21:26.360 I'm still astonished that some folks, and I felt this satisfying in Congress yesterday,

00:21:33.320 some folks seem to really struggle to let go of the status quo.

00:21:37.240 Yes, Pete, we do.

00:21:39.840 Some do.

00:21:40.180 I think they got to send him back to Langley and fix a couple bugs because he's malfunctioning

00:21:45.620 a little bit.

00:21:46.240 He's almost human.

00:21:47.860 It's that kind of uncanny valley.

00:21:49.680 He's almost human, but he's not quite there yet.

00:21:52.320 I'm astonished that some people don't want to let go of the status quo.

00:21:56.920 What he's saying is, I'm astonished that there are people who are in any way conservative.

00:22:03.360 I'm astonished that people like their country, like their community, like their way of life,

00:22:09.340 like their car, like their society, like their money, like their property, like their family,

00:22:14.940 like, well, I'm just astonished.

00:22:18.040 Maybe Pete Buttigieg doesn't like our country.

00:22:20.400 Maybe Pete Buttigieg doesn't like our way of life.

00:22:23.120 I do.

00:22:24.000 I do.

00:22:24.500 I don't want to change everything.

00:22:25.660 I don't want to completely upend and change everything.

00:22:28.140 I don't want to live in a pod.

00:22:29.700 I don't want to eat the bugs. 0.99

00:22:31.260 I don't want to consume a bunch of cheap Chinese crap. 1.00

00:22:33.900 I don't want to lose my political rights. 0.99

00:22:36.480 I don't want to upend every single institution.

00:22:39.120 I don't want to change the meaning of man and woman.

00:22:41.820 I don't want to change all my language like the American version of North Korean state TV

00:22:47.160 told me to do.

00:22:48.200 I don't want to do that.

00:22:50.960 You know, I don't want to do that.

00:22:52.460 And I don't want you to make me do that, Pete Buttigieg. 0.82

00:22:54.640 Buttigieg or Klaus Schwab or Dr. Fauci or any of these freaking government technocrats 0.54

00:23:03.000 who have a much higher opinion of themselves than we have of them.

00:23:07.920 I don't want to do any of that.

00:23:10.220 I want these people to fail.

00:23:12.440 I want Pete Buttigieg to fail in his job.

00:23:15.660 I want Joe Biden to fail.

00:23:17.140 That, I think, that one seems to be a little bit easier.

00:23:19.940 I don't want there to be any sort of great reset.

00:23:23.040 I don't want them to change the way that we eat and live and interact with each other

00:23:27.120 and even view ourselves in our own human nature.

00:23:29.460 I want these people to lose.

00:23:31.380 I want to win.

00:23:32.420 And I do think, though they have a ton of institutional power,

00:23:35.700 I think the political wins, the understanding of those ordinary people that they want to force 0.86

00:23:41.680 to eat all the bugs, I think those wins are moving entirely in our direction.

00:23:47.380 And then one day we're going to die.

00:25:12.840 On yesterday's show, we talked about how 47 House Republicans caved to left-wing pressure on Tuesday night to,

00:25:21.040 for no reason whatsoever other than to give Democrats a nice campaign slogan,

00:25:25.460 a nice little campaign clip, decided to buy the new redefinition of marriage. 0.95

00:25:30.340 Some of these squishes were very well known.

00:25:34.020 The truth is we can expect it from those squishes.

00:25:36.340 However, I think all of us were a bit surprised by just how formless some of our elected officials really are,

00:25:43.540 even the ones we expected more from.

00:25:44.900 If you would like to let your representatives know that you had not planned on electing the Pillsbury Doughboy,

00:25:51.740 now is your chance because the Don't Squish t-shirt is here.

00:25:57.220 Let your legislators know you are watching them fold like a wet paper bag and be trampled on,

00:26:02.500 and you don't like that very much.

00:26:04.260 Head on over to my store at dailywire.com slash shop today.

00:26:09.420 And most important of all, don't squish. 1.00

00:26:12.020 Also, don't forget, this month's episode of Ben Shapiro's Book Club is tonight, 8 p.m. Eastern.

00:26:16.400 You will meet up with Ben in Israel as he explores Leon Uris' historical novel

00:26:21.300 and international bestseller Exodus, set amidst the Jewish people's displacement from a hostile post-war Europe.

00:26:28.040 Exodus is the story of an American nurse, an Israeli freedom fighter,

00:26:31.980 and the rebirth of a nation that had been dispersed for 2,000 years.

00:26:35.980 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:26:37.360 Welcome back to the show.

00:26:51.020 Normal people are pushing back against the Buttigiegs of the world and the radicals, 1.00

00:26:55.880 and Joe Biden, who is a vessel for the radicals, even though he doesn't know which end is up.

00:26:59.940 Two sources have just told CNN that Joe Manchin, the moderate Democrat,

00:27:05.280 who is standing athwart the libs and yelling stop, Joe Manchin will, quote,

00:27:11.240 unequivocally refuse to support Democrat legislation related to the sun monster and tax increases in an economic package.

00:27:21.640 So Joe Biden has been pushing build back better, as he calls it, the GOP calls it, build back broke,

00:27:27.620 his big spend-a-palooza policy.

00:27:31.580 And Manchin said, no, not going to do it.

00:27:33.780 Not going to do it, one, because my constituents don't want me to do it,

00:27:37.380 and two, because it's a terrible package.

00:27:39.460 So he says no.

00:27:41.160 Months and months of negotiations with Chuck Schumer, and Manchin says,

00:27:44.800 nope, sorry, not going to do it.

00:27:47.500 This is great news.

00:27:48.240 It's great news that you got one or two semi-normal Democrats,

00:27:53.460 people who are willing to buck their party,

00:27:56.200 either because of their moral conscience,

00:27:58.080 or perhaps because they know that their own constituents don't want it.

00:28:02.680 Either way, I'll take what I can get.

00:28:04.860 That's really good news,

00:28:06.360 because the Biden economic policy is a scam.

00:28:10.540 It's not going to help the economy.

00:28:12.980 Just look at how Biden's managed the economy for the last 18 months.

00:28:16.020 This guy took what was a very, very strong economy under Trump.

00:28:20.600 He took a great opportunity,

00:28:21.860 which is that the government voluntarily shut down the economy for COVID.

00:28:26.280 And so when they reopened the economy, it should have exploded. 1.00

00:28:29.960 It should have been so amazing, but because of Biden's stupid policies, 0.99

00:28:32.640 especially on energy, but in other areas as well, 1.00

00:28:37.700 because of Biden's stupid policies, it hasn't worked. 0.99

00:28:39.600 So do you think that spending trillions more dollars, 1.00

00:28:42.240 do you think that's going to make things better?

00:28:43.940 Do you think Joe Biden, if you give him more power over the economy,

00:28:47.380 you think that's going to work?

00:28:48.260 I don't think so.

00:28:49.500 It's a scam.

00:28:50.360 Speaking of financial scams, a little bit of a shift here.

00:28:53.760 There was a story yesterday in Vice magazine

00:28:57.100 about a really oppressed, marginalized class of people

00:29:02.360 that are apparently being scammed.

00:29:04.060 And that class would be psychics and tarot readers

00:29:08.520 and, quote, intuitive workers.

00:29:11.240 And apparently, according to Vice,

00:29:15.460 psychics and tarot readers and intuitive workers

00:29:19.080 are under siege by Instagram scammers.

00:29:24.540 Scammers are going after the psychics and the tarot card readers.

00:29:27.720 Now, my first thought was,

00:29:30.000 if they're really psychics and intuitive workers,

00:29:34.980 shouldn't they be able to identify the scammers?

00:29:37.840 Scammers, shouldn't that be like the one thing

00:29:42.220 that they are capable of doing?

00:29:44.020 It's when someone tries to scam them,

00:29:45.300 they say, I've got my crystal ball,

00:29:47.060 and no, I'm not going to give you my money.

00:29:49.700 So now the second one,

00:29:51.180 and this is what a lot of people suggested,

00:29:52.580 they said, Michael, you're missing the point.

00:29:53.920 The psychics and the tarot card readers are scammers, 0.94

00:29:57.080 which is true, I'm sure, in the vast majority of cases.

00:30:02.900 It's definitely true in the vast majority of cases.

00:30:05.580 But this is one of my, I guess, more controversial opinions.

00:30:10.720 I think some of that stuff is real.

00:30:13.640 Psychics and the astrology and the occult.

00:30:17.860 I think that stuff is real.

00:30:20.380 You know, in the Bible,

00:30:21.600 the Bible says, don't do any of that stuff.

00:30:24.040 Don't consult astrologers.

00:30:25.700 Don't get involved in the occult

00:30:27.100 or with psychics or anything.

00:30:29.080 And I don't think the Bible says,

00:30:30.760 don't do that stuff

00:30:31.540 because it's all just fake and a waste of time.

00:30:34.780 I assume the reason that the Bible says,

00:30:38.400 don't do that stuff

00:30:39.380 is because it's real and bad

00:30:41.340 and compromises your free will

00:30:42.700 and it's evil and you shouldn't do it.

00:30:44.280 That's why, that's what I think.

00:30:46.060 That's why, in fact,

00:30:47.000 this is kind of a little bit of a tangent,

00:30:48.960 but it's a weird personal story.

00:30:50.740 A psychic played an unwitting

00:30:53.700 but somewhat significant role

00:30:54.980 in my reversion to Christianity

00:30:56.820 because I was a kind of atheist, agnostic type

00:31:00.220 and I was coming out of it

00:31:01.540 right at the end of college.

00:31:02.940 It was in New York a little bit

00:31:04.280 and I was just kind of coming out of it

00:31:06.080 and anyway, one day,

00:31:08.560 I was on a film set

00:31:09.620 and I met this Italian gal

00:31:12.520 and we were chatting

00:31:13.720 and we were talking about Italy

00:31:15.060 and this, that, and the other thing

00:31:15.960 and somehow Dante came up

00:31:17.060 and she said, oh, you know,

00:31:17.780 I actually haven't read Dante too much.

00:31:19.200 And I said, oh gosh, I love Dante

00:31:20.620 and he's from this town

00:31:21.500 and we went here

00:31:22.000 and we were just,

00:31:22.540 we had this whole long conversation

00:31:23.740 about Dante.

00:31:24.620 You know how much I love Dante

00:31:25.580 and she, though she's Italian,

00:31:27.160 hadn't really known much about him.

00:31:29.060 So anyway, we leave the film set.

00:31:31.980 Weeks and weeks go by.

00:31:33.760 I then run into her

00:31:35.140 in an office building in New York.

00:31:38.520 I say, oh hey, how you doing?

00:31:39.780 Good to see you again.

00:31:40.480 She looks at me and she goes,

00:31:42.120 Michael, oh, I'm so glad I saw you.

00:31:43.740 You're not going to believe this.

00:31:45.700 I, so after we saw each other

00:31:48.760 on that film set,

00:31:49.860 I went to my psychic.

00:31:51.900 I said, okay, psychic, all right.

00:31:53.100 Well, whatever.

00:31:53.680 You know, it's New York.

00:31:54.260 Okay.

00:31:54.840 She goes, I went to my psychic

00:31:56.000 and the first thing the psychic asks me is,

00:31:59.820 who's Dante?

00:32:01.700 And I got such a chance

00:32:03.020 because I said, well, hold on.

00:32:03.760 This is the first time you went there?

00:32:05.600 No, she had gone to the psychic many times.

00:32:08.040 Oh, well, had you,

00:32:09.400 maybe you had expressed an interest in Dante,

00:32:10.960 but I knew she hadn't expressed

00:32:11.880 an interest in Dante.

00:32:12.720 That's why we were talking about it.

00:32:13.460 She didn't really know.

00:32:14.260 And the psychic just said,

00:32:15.680 who's Dante?

00:32:16.880 And that really spooked me

00:32:18.860 in the way that C.S. Lewis describes

00:32:22.200 the difference between what's,

00:32:23.500 what is scary,

00:32:24.660 what is uncanny,

00:32:26.380 and what is numinous.

00:32:28.040 And he says, you know,

00:32:29.060 scary is if you're told

00:32:30.220 there's a tiger in the other room.

00:32:32.100 And you say, that's scary

00:32:33.280 because the tiger could eat me.

00:32:35.640 And the uncanny is when someone says

00:32:37.860 there's a ghost in the other room.

00:32:39.380 It's not that you're afraid

00:32:40.440 of what the ghost is going to do to you.

00:32:42.020 It's that you're afraid

00:32:43.480 that there are ghosts.

00:32:46.240 And then the numinous

00:32:46.920 is the highest level of that,

00:32:48.880 which is a real religious feeling,

00:32:52.100 the idea of the sublime,

00:32:53.280 the idea that God exists,

00:32:54.760 that there is a providence to everything.

00:32:57.700 All a long way of saying,

00:32:58.980 I do think that sometimes psychics

00:33:01.460 and occult people,

00:33:03.480 I think sometimes they are real.

00:33:05.220 You see this in the Bible too,

00:33:06.480 even when Saul goes

00:33:08.180 to the witch of Endor,

00:33:09.840 Saul says, no,

00:33:11.180 no one talks to the witches anymore.

00:33:13.220 But then he himself

00:33:13.920 goes to this witch of Endor 0.87

00:33:14.860 and he says,

00:33:15.560 summon Samuel for me.

00:33:17.940 And so she goes

00:33:20.060 and then she's shocked.

00:33:22.460 She says, you lied to me.

00:33:23.560 You said, you're Saul.

00:33:24.780 Oh my gosh.

00:33:25.400 And she's shocked.

00:33:26.160 And there are different ways

00:33:27.340 to read this passage.

00:33:28.280 But one of the ways to read it

00:33:29.700 that I've heard suggested

00:33:31.080 is that the witch

00:33:32.360 actually was kind of a scam artist.

00:33:34.680 And the reason she was so shocked

00:33:36.260 is, oh my gosh,

00:33:37.340 we actually summoned a ghost.

00:33:38.880 Oh man, that's super creepy.

00:33:40.700 What, what's there a ghost doing here?

00:33:42.080 Oh man, you're really Saul.

00:33:43.620 So all of that to say,

00:33:45.340 don't take this stuff lightly, folks.

00:33:46.960 We all, we all make fun of this.

00:33:48.600 There is more between heaven and earth

00:33:50.540 that is dreamt of

00:33:51.600 in our philosophy, Horatio.

00:33:53.780 And the weird cult obsessions,

00:33:56.660 occult behavior is on the rise.

00:33:59.460 You want to talk about cults?

00:34:00.440 There was a video,

00:34:01.040 just went viral,

00:34:01.700 of a young female slam poetess.

00:34:08.320 And the slam poetess made a point 1.00

00:34:10.540 that I bet a lot of people,

00:34:12.640 don't you,

00:34:12.860 she was in Union Square,

00:34:14.480 New York,

00:34:15.060 a lot of,

00:34:15.440 a lot of libs believe,

00:34:16.840 which is she said, 0.67

00:34:17.480 my God is a queer God. 1.00

00:34:20.440 My God is a queer God, 1.00

00:34:22.900 is a queer space, 0.58

00:34:24.500 is a safer space,

00:34:26.300 is in allyship with the universe

00:34:28.260 because my God is self-reflexive

00:34:30.600 and knows that it is not always

00:34:32.340 a safe space for everyone

00:34:33.760 at every moment.

00:34:35.000 And it may be an ally to one entity

00:34:36.720 and a trigger to another.

00:34:38.480 So my God is working in solidarity

00:34:40.700 with everything all at once

00:34:42.200 and that capacity doesn't fit

00:34:43.600 inside a bodied box.

00:34:44.940 My God is outside the outside

00:34:47.080 of a timeless clock.

00:34:48.320 My God is indefatigable.

00:34:50.440 My God is intersectional.

00:34:52.220 My God is awake and alert

00:34:53.700 and stays woke

00:34:54.460 because it once created the universe

00:34:56.240 and it still encompasses the earth.

00:34:58.360 And even language is transgressive.

00:35:00.460 And even language

00:35:01.280 doesn't properly contain substance

00:35:02.900 because there is no way

00:35:04.120 to concretize linguistic labeling

00:35:06.120 with justice.

00:35:06.800 So my God is transcending

00:35:08.660 and transubstantiating justice.

00:35:11.020 My God is nameless.

00:35:12.440 Thou shalt not speak my God's name

00:35:14.060 and speak my God's name in vain

00:35:15.480 to be anything other than other

00:35:16.700 without any name

00:35:17.440 because my God is a holy,

00:35:19.440 holy, holy,

00:35:20.620 intangible, amorphous entity

00:35:22.020 of endless possibility.

00:35:23.460 My God is a queer God 1.00

00:35:25.720 and my God is eternity.

00:35:29.120 Thank you.

00:35:32.660 My God is a buzzword.

00:35:35.020 My God is synergy.

00:35:36.820 My God is he, she, they, them.

00:35:40.940 Folks, ally,

00:35:42.420 it's just this whole series

00:35:43.540 of buzzwords.

00:35:44.920 Reminds me of what Harold Bloom,

00:35:47.060 the late great literary critic,

00:35:48.580 said about slam poetry,

00:35:49.920 which is not just that it's bad,

00:35:51.580 but it is in fact the death of art

00:35:54.140 and that it is judged

00:35:57.020 by a bunch of clapping seals

00:35:59.000 in the audience

00:35:59.840 of some late night comedy club.

00:36:01.520 Though it is not comedy,

00:36:02.960 it's not poetry,

00:36:04.340 it's not comedy,

00:36:05.480 it's just,

00:36:06.900 it is the death of art.

00:36:08.020 But if you listen past

00:36:09.560 the kind of sad performance,

00:36:14.340 if you can get past laughing

00:36:16.200 at this person

00:36:17.400 and this really awful work

00:36:19.460 of pseudo art,

00:36:20.820 you hear something

00:36:22.020 that is significant

00:36:23.680 and actually tells you

00:36:25.500 about the way the,

00:36:26.820 something about the way

00:36:27.460 the left views the world.

00:36:28.540 The first part of that slam poem,

00:36:31.000 the poetess says,

00:36:32.620 my God,

00:36:33.420 my God is a queer God, 1.00

00:36:35.020 my God is all these buzzwords, 0.98

00:36:36.520 my God has no body.

00:36:39.220 My God is,

00:36:40.100 doesn't fit inside a body.

00:36:42.440 That is a rejection of Christianity. 0.95

00:36:44.660 That's a rejection of Jesus

00:36:45.780 because according to Christianity,

00:36:48.020 according to the religion

00:36:49.200 that animates our entire civilization,

00:36:53.100 God becomes incarnate.

00:36:55.560 God the Son,

00:36:56.200 the second person of the Trinity

00:36:57.240 becomes incarnate,

00:36:58.400 takes on flesh and blood,

00:36:59.680 becomes man.

00:37:00.900 This is the most solemn moment

00:37:02.840 of the creed,

00:37:04.060 of the creed at the mass

00:37:05.880 and in traditional church services.

00:37:08.040 You recite what you believe.

00:37:09.780 Credo in Unum Deum.

00:37:10.720 I believe in God,

00:37:11.340 the Father Almighty,

00:37:12.080 maker of heaven and earth.

00:37:12.800 You go down

00:37:13.180 and then when it gets

00:37:14.280 to the middle,

00:37:14.760 they say,

00:37:16.220 I believe that God

00:37:18.280 was conceived

00:37:19.380 of the Holy Spirit,

00:37:21.300 born of the Virgin Mary

00:37:23.260 and became man

00:37:25.280 at incarnatus est,

00:37:28.200 at homo factus est 1.00

00:37:30.520 in the Latin

00:37:31.480 and you kneel down

00:37:32.520 and you take this as,

00:37:33.440 oh my goodness gracious,

00:37:35.000 God becomes a man.

00:37:38.600 This poetess says,

00:37:39.780 nope,

00:37:40.000 my God doesn't have a body

00:37:40.800 and then she doubles down on it 0.93

00:37:42.120 at the end of the poem.

00:37:43.180 She says,

00:37:43.580 my God is totally transcendent.

00:37:45.040 My God doesn't have a name.

00:37:46.520 The God of the Bible

00:37:47.340 has a name.

00:37:48.360 The God of the Bible

00:37:49.080 has a name,

00:37:49.660 which is in,

00:37:51.320 actually multiple names,

00:37:53.080 but in some cases

00:37:53.820 there's the unutterable name,

00:37:55.340 Yahweh.

00:37:56.280 There is,

00:37:57.340 when Moses says,

00:37:59.120 who are you?

00:38:00.160 God says to him

00:38:01.060 and through the burning bush,

00:38:02.300 I am who I am

00:38:03.260 and then of course

00:38:03.980 God has a name in Jesus

00:38:05.440 and she says,

00:38:06.680 nope,

00:38:06.860 my God doesn't have a name.

00:38:07.740 It's a rejection

00:38:08.520 of Christianity.

00:38:10.160 Whatever God

00:38:11.160 this woman is worshipping,

00:38:13.320 whatever demon 0.78

00:38:13.880 this woman is worshipping, 0.97

00:38:15.600 it is not Christianity.

00:38:18.240 But it's not nothing either.

00:38:20.160 She's not saying,

00:38:20.840 I don't believe in God.

00:38:21.980 I don't worship anything.

00:38:23.380 I don't have any beliefs.

00:38:25.120 Because you can't not have beliefs.

00:38:27.220 You can't be neutral.

00:38:29.300 Everybody's got to serve somebody

00:38:30.520 as that great theologian

00:38:31.500 Bob Dylan said.

00:38:32.720 So she's saying,

00:38:33.260 no,

00:38:33.380 I have a God.

00:38:34.680 I just worship a false God.

00:38:36.860 I have a God,

00:38:37.920 which is an idol.

00:38:38.720 I have a God

00:38:39.900 and it's,

00:38:40.820 in this case,

00:38:41.840 depending on what she means

00:38:42.640 by queerness, 0.97

00:38:43.280 it's either my God is sex 0.98

00:38:45.000 or my God is myself 0.99

00:38:46.460 or my God is some

00:38:48.440 leftist ideology.

00:38:50.180 Whatever it is,

00:38:51.120 it's a false God

00:38:51.800 and whatever it is,

00:38:52.420 it is an object of worship.

00:38:54.980 Whatever it is,

00:38:55.440 you can't remain neutral.

00:38:56.880 This is a point that Kamala Harris

00:38:58.280 didn't seem to appreciate.

00:38:59.540 She made this claim 0.71

00:39:00.660 the other day

00:39:01.440 that regardless of your beliefs,

00:39:03.300 regardless of your faith,

00:39:04.200 the issue of abortion

00:39:06.840 has nothing to do with it.

00:39:09.080 We must also take steps

00:39:12.220 to protect other fundamental freedoms,

00:39:16.280 including the freedom

00:39:19.100 for a woman to make decisions 1.00

00:39:21.580 about her own body.

00:39:23.560 And you know,

00:39:25.140 on this subject,

00:39:27.620 it's important to note

00:39:30.720 that to support

00:39:33.620 a woman's ability, 0.70

00:39:35.880 not her government,

00:39:37.380 but her,

00:39:38.460 to make that decision

00:39:39.720 does not require

00:39:41.280 anyone to abandon

00:39:43.100 their faith

00:39:44.060 or their beliefs.

00:39:47.460 It just requires us

00:39:49.420 to agree

00:39:50.080 the government

00:39:51.260 shouldn't be making

00:39:52.060 that decision for her.

00:39:54.340 Oh, is that what you believe,

00:39:56.220 Kamala?

00:39:57.220 Listen,

00:39:57.900 you don't need to

00:39:58.780 abandon your beliefs.

00:40:00.000 You just need to believe

00:40:01.580 this thing

00:40:02.020 that I'm telling you to believe,

00:40:03.060 which is that the government

00:40:03.840 has no right

00:40:04.980 and should not

00:40:06.120 tell a woman 1.00

00:40:07.100 not to kill her kid.

00:40:09.480 Kamala,

00:40:10.060 what if

00:40:10.500 what I believe,

00:40:12.360 what if my religion

00:40:13.460 tells me

00:40:14.880 that actually

00:40:16.100 the woman 0.98

00:40:17.560 can't kill her kid? 1.00

00:40:18.680 It's wrong 0.99

00:40:19.280 and the government

00:40:19.860 needs to step in

00:40:20.860 and stop her 0.89

00:40:21.660 from killing her kid. 0.51

00:40:22.700 What if that's my belief? 0.95

00:40:24.400 Then the belief

00:40:25.160 that you're suggesting

00:40:26.700 does require me

00:40:28.540 to abandon my belief.

00:40:29.620 And I'm not speaking

00:40:30.660 hypothetically here either

00:40:31.940 because that

00:40:33.700 that is

00:40:34.520 a part of my religion

00:40:35.960 which is called

00:40:36.980 Christianity

00:40:37.640 and that belief

00:40:39.380 is not some new idea

00:40:40.600 that just popped up

00:40:41.420 in the last 50 years.

00:40:42.640 That idea

00:40:43.580 that abortion 1.00

00:40:44.520 is always wrong

00:40:45.780 goes back

00:40:47.360 to the very

00:40:48.520 earliest days

00:40:49.360 of Christianity.

00:40:50.280 The oldest

00:40:51.240 documents we have

00:40:52.780 about Christianity

00:40:54.560 and from Christianity

00:40:55.520 tell us that.

00:40:56.620 Going back to

00:40:57.200 the Didache,

00:40:58.020 the first code,

00:40:58.940 the first kind

00:40:59.560 of catechism

00:41:00.220 going back

00:41:00.960 to the second century

00:41:01.960 at least

00:41:02.580 say abortion's wrong. 1.00

00:41:05.640 But she says,

00:41:06.640 no, no, no.

00:41:07.100 That doesn't matter

00:41:08.040 with your beliefs.

00:41:09.100 You just have to

00:41:10.160 at a baseline

00:41:10.840 believe all my beliefs

00:41:12.100 and then

00:41:12.820 in so much

00:41:13.820 as your beliefs

00:41:14.880 fit in with my beliefs

00:41:16.380 you're allowed

00:41:16.780 to hold them.

00:41:17.780 The libs believe

00:41:18.700 that their beliefs

00:41:19.840 are totally neutral.

00:41:22.460 This is the secret.

00:41:23.980 This is the secret

00:41:25.000 that has allowed,

00:41:25.780 I talked about this

00:41:26.320 a little bit

00:41:26.640 in my book

00:41:26.940 Speechless

00:41:27.340 last year.

00:41:28.280 This is one

00:41:29.060 of the secrets

00:41:29.620 that has allowed

00:41:30.640 the libs

00:41:31.000 to conquer

00:41:31.540 the culture

00:41:32.120 is we had

00:41:33.960 a culture

00:41:34.340 in America

00:41:34.880 where you might

00:41:36.260 call it

00:41:36.660 public Christianity.

00:41:38.180 It was not

00:41:38.840 a theocracy,

00:41:39.900 it was not

00:41:40.320 a heavy-handed

00:41:41.240 integralist government

00:41:42.120 or something like that,

00:41:42.820 but it was broadly

00:41:43.680 a public

00:41:45.000 Christian culture.

00:41:46.200 Christianity

00:41:46.640 was what informed

00:41:48.140 the way that we viewed

00:41:49.100 public and political life.

00:41:50.880 And then during

00:41:51.260 the 20th century

00:41:52.100 that was replaced

00:41:53.400 with public

00:41:54.740 liberalism,

00:41:56.080 with public

00:41:56.740 secularism.

00:41:57.940 And that became

00:41:58.700 the dominant

00:41:59.220 ideology.

00:42:00.940 And liberalism

00:42:01.760 and secularism,

00:42:02.500 they ain't neutral.

00:42:03.360 There's nothing neutral 0.60

00:42:03.980 about killing babies. 0.94

00:42:05.980 There's nothing neutral 0.97

00:42:06.540 about transing the kids.

00:42:07.740 Far from any,

00:42:08.660 there's nothing neutral

00:42:09.860 about kind of

00:42:11.420 any public regime

00:42:12.200 that you want to live under.

00:42:13.280 But the libs

00:42:14.100 managed to persuade

00:42:15.860 not only

00:42:16.480 the left side

00:42:17.580 of the aisle,

00:42:18.160 but even many

00:42:19.000 conservatives

00:42:19.540 that liberalism

00:42:21.320 is neutral,

00:42:22.220 that secularism

00:42:23.200 is neutral,

00:42:24.180 that atheism

00:42:24.920 is neutral.

00:42:25.740 It's not.

00:42:26.600 It's ahistorical.

00:42:27.760 It has nothing to do

00:42:28.700 with the actual

00:42:29.540 foundations of our country.

00:42:30.900 Far from it.

00:42:31.600 The actual foundations

00:42:32.220 of our country,

00:42:32.900 very, very Christian.

00:42:34.460 But furthermore,

00:42:35.720 just as a

00:42:36.440 philosophical matter,

00:42:38.100 it can't be neutral.

00:42:39.800 There is no neutrality.

00:42:41.500 Every society

00:42:42.460 is going to have

00:42:42.880 some sense

00:42:43.780 of what's good and bad

00:42:44.580 and right and wrong

00:42:45.100 and true and false.

00:42:45.620 And you've got to come

00:42:46.240 to those conclusions.

00:42:47.740 And everybody's

00:42:48.680 got to serve somebody.

00:42:49.400 And if you don't think

00:42:50.380 that you're coming

00:42:52.260 to those kind of conclusions

00:42:53.320 and making those statements,

00:42:54.320 then you're at the

00:42:54.900 greatest danger of all

00:42:55.740 because then you're

00:42:56.320 just being swept away

00:42:57.480 by ideology

00:42:58.820 unknowingly.

00:43:01.740 Speaking of belief

00:43:02.820 and public health,

00:43:06.060 experts are warning

00:43:07.260 Americans

00:43:08.060 that the United States

00:43:09.400 is not prepared

00:43:10.620 to fight

00:43:11.680 monkeypox.

00:43:13.080 Forget about COVID.

00:43:13.920 That was yesterday's news.

00:43:15.320 Now we're talking

00:43:15.880 about monkeypox.

00:43:16.900 And the U.S.

00:43:17.740 is not prepared

00:43:18.620 Now there are not

00:43:20.260 a lot of cases

00:43:21.020 of monkeypox

00:43:21.880 in the U.S.

00:43:23.000 It's not spreading,

00:43:24.120 certainly not spreading

00:43:24.820 like COVID.

00:43:25.900 The total number

00:43:26.880 of confirmed monkeypox

00:43:28.420 cases in the U.S.

00:43:29.780 Now what?

00:43:30.800 A couple of months

00:43:31.560 after they first announced

00:43:32.560 it or more

00:43:33.080 is under 2,000.

00:43:35.500 In the whole country,

00:43:35.900 it's a country

00:43:36.180 of 330 million people.

00:43:37.440 It's less than,

00:43:38.380 fewer than 2,000 cases.

00:43:40.480 Still,

00:43:41.040 the experts,

00:43:41.660 here's David Harvey,

00:43:43.400 who's the executive director

00:43:44.460 of the National Coalition

00:43:45.340 of STD Directors.

00:43:46.420 He says,

00:43:47.140 America does not have 0.92

00:43:48.420 what it needs

00:43:48.960 to adequately

00:43:49.640 and totally fight monkeypox.

00:43:51.080 We are already

00:43:51.600 stretched to capacity.

00:43:53.640 I think we have

00:43:54.440 exactly what we need

00:43:55.580 to fight monkeypox.

00:43:56.800 Here is my,

00:43:57.280 I have a radical suggestion.

00:43:58.620 I know we're going

00:43:59.160 to get a big CDC label,

00:44:01.400 fake news,

00:44:02.300 medical misinformation.

00:44:03.260 I'm going to say it anyway.

00:44:04.360 This is my own theory,

00:44:06.760 my own medical theory.

00:44:09.240 What if people

00:44:10.440 just stopped

00:44:12.080 having orgies? 0.53

00:44:13.020 What now? 0.92

00:44:15.540 And if we're going

00:44:17.080 to be really specific

00:44:17.780 about it, 1.00

00:44:18.240 it's really gay orgies. 1.00

00:44:19.440 It's the monkeypox 1.00

00:44:20.720 spreads at bathhouses 0.99

00:44:22.040 and gay. 0.96

00:44:22.540 But let's, 0.95

00:44:23.300 you know what though?

00:44:24.320 Let's be a little

00:44:24.980 more inclusive here.

00:44:26.340 Let's be a little

00:44:26.960 more open.

00:44:27.700 Let's,

00:44:28.020 how about,

00:44:28.300 what if we just stop

00:44:29.300 all the orgies?

00:44:31.080 I think that would

00:44:31.580 probably be good,

00:44:32.360 even if the monkeypox

00:44:33.260 threat is not,

00:44:34.220 it's not as great for,

00:44:35.440 also,

00:44:36.960 aren't all orgies 0.99

00:44:38.060 a little bit gay? 0.99

00:44:39.520 It just occurs to me now 0.72

00:44:40.700 as I'm thinking about it.

00:44:41.600 Because there's only,

00:44:42.920 there's only two sexes 1.00

00:44:44.740 and an orgy by definition

00:44:46.880 involves more than two people.

00:44:48.280 So somewhere

00:44:48.900 along the line,

00:44:51.100 anyway,

00:44:51.580 regardless,

00:44:52.180 that's a thought

00:44:52.940 for another time.

00:44:54.420 What if we just

00:44:55.260 cut out the orgies?

00:44:56.140 You're not allowed

00:44:56.580 to say that.

00:44:57.860 No,

00:44:58.300 it's much more important

00:44:59.380 for us to what?

00:45:01.020 To some extent,

00:45:01.800 lock down,

00:45:03.320 to buy a ton of

00:45:05.860 vaccines that aren't

00:45:07.080 even for monkeypox.

00:45:08.260 They're going to try

00:45:08.760 to treat monkeypox

00:45:09.620 with the vaccines

00:45:10.220 for smallpox,

00:45:11.180 which has been eradicated

00:45:12.080 for a very long time.

00:45:13.840 We're going to,

00:45:15.240 what?

00:45:15.480 Are we going to have

00:45:15.840 to mask up again?

00:45:16.720 Are we going to have,

00:45:17.160 we're going to have to have

00:45:17.620 major public health campaigns?

00:45:18.840 What if we just say,

00:45:19.860 hey,

00:45:20.320 stop having orgies? 0.97

00:45:22.860 Don't go to a bathhouse. 0.66

00:45:24.400 Don't go to a, 1.00

00:45:25.040 I think one of them

00:45:25.680 spread at some fetish conference

00:45:27.580 in Belgium or something.

00:45:28.700 What if we just say,

00:45:29.340 none of,

00:45:29.980 no more of those,

00:45:31.600 stop doing that,

00:45:32.940 then we won't have monkeypox.

00:45:34.880 You're not allowed

00:45:35.500 to say that.

00:45:36.000 Because it is an aspect

00:45:38.240 of the liberal creed.

00:45:40.020 It is central

00:45:41.100 to the liberal public liturgy

00:45:43.980 that we have orgies,

00:45:45.720 that we all just are able 0.98

00:45:47.020 to screw whoever we want, 0.84

00:45:48.540 whenever we want to do it,

00:45:49.760 no matter the risk,

00:45:51.000 no matter the conditions,

00:45:52.520 no matter the time of day.

00:45:54.700 Okay, well that's,

00:45:56.960 call me an authoritarian,

00:45:59.380 call me a fascist, 1.00

00:46:01.360 knuckle dragging monster. 1.00

00:46:02.760 I just think

00:46:04.100 maybe we should

00:46:05.740 discourage orgies.

00:46:07.380 That's my view.

00:46:08.420 Speaking of

00:46:08.880 irresponsible behavior,

00:46:10.680 David Hogg.

00:46:11.380 You remember David Hogg?

00:46:12.220 You might not remember

00:46:12.880 David Hogg.

00:46:13.360 He was the kid

00:46:14.200 who was at the school

00:46:16.460 where there was

00:46:16.940 a shooting in Florida.

00:46:18.840 And I don't even,

00:46:19.780 I don't think he was even

00:46:20.600 particularly close

00:46:21.500 to the shooting itself,

00:46:22.600 but he managed

00:46:23.700 to be one of the first kids

00:46:24.800 to race,

00:46:25.380 to get on television afterward.

00:46:26.980 And he's made something

00:46:27.980 of a career out of that.

00:46:28.980 He managed to get

00:46:29.560 into Harvard

00:46:30.100 strictly on the celebrity

00:46:31.780 that he got

00:46:32.400 out of this tragedy.

00:46:35.620 And so David Hogg,

00:46:36.460 he's been out of the news

00:46:37.120 for a while.

00:46:37.680 He's not really

00:46:38.480 such a cute kid anymore.

00:46:39.960 He's gotten a little bit older.

00:46:41.240 And so now,

00:46:41.960 to try to get

00:46:42.640 some of that celebrity back,

00:46:44.420 he interrupted

00:46:45.020 the House Judiciary hearing

00:46:47.200 to yell and scream

00:46:48.620 about guns.

00:46:50.340 The shooter at my high school,

00:46:52.080 anti-Semitic, 0.99

00:46:53.140 anti-black, 0.99

00:46:53.980 and racist. 0.99

00:46:54.580 The shooter in El Paso

00:46:55.620 described it as an invasion.

00:46:57.440 Guess what?

00:46:58.160 Those guns are coming

00:46:59.340 from the United States

00:47:00.440 of America.

00:47:01.300 They aren't coming

00:47:02.220 from Mexico.

00:47:03.460 They are not

00:47:05.640 coming from Mexico.

00:47:06.940 You are reiterating

00:47:07.940 the flights

00:47:08.400 of a mass shooter, sir.

00:47:10.220 Sir, you are perpetuating

00:47:12.120 this violence.

00:47:13.460 You need to be like

00:47:14.300 to snap it out.

00:47:15.260 A Democrat,

00:47:15.880 a Republican,

00:47:16.800 stop these things now.

00:47:18.540 Go, David!

00:47:20.500 It's sad when the footlights

00:47:22.000 start to fade,

00:47:23.320 isn't it?

00:47:23.780 It's kind of sad

00:47:24.780 for people

00:47:25.740 when the celebrity

00:47:26.540 starts to go away

00:47:27.500 and people stop caring.

00:47:28.500 You could even tell there

00:47:29.400 when David's yelling

00:47:30.780 and yelling.

00:47:31.280 He's speaking like

00:47:32.000 he's at a political rally,

00:47:33.540 but no one was supporting him.

00:47:35.620 Even his own guys

00:47:36.340 weren't supporting him.

00:47:37.960 So he was waiting.

00:47:38.680 He gets to that point.

00:47:39.840 So these guns are coming

00:47:40.760 from the United States

00:47:41.460 and he was waiting

00:47:42.180 for applause

00:47:42.840 and there was no applause

00:47:44.520 and people weren't

00:47:45.000 even looking at him.

00:47:46.180 And then he starts

00:47:46.760 to stumble on his words.

00:47:47.880 There, these are not,

00:47:48.800 it's not coming from Mexico.

00:47:49.980 It's like a child actor

00:47:51.440 who grows up

00:47:52.620 and he was under

00:47:54.220 the misapprehension

00:47:55.100 that people liked him

00:47:56.300 because he's some great actor

00:47:57.800 when really they only liked him

00:47:59.120 because he's a child.

00:48:00.560 And it's the same thing here.

00:48:01.540 This guy was being used

00:48:02.700 by the Democrats

00:48:04.040 because when he was 16,

00:48:06.540 he was useful to them

00:48:07.800 and they could put

00:48:09.000 these cute little kids

00:48:09.820 on TV

00:48:10.340 and the kids were pushing

00:48:11.840 all the Democrat

00:48:12.560 gun talking points.

00:48:14.100 But now, you know,

00:48:15.060 he's got some whiskers.

00:48:16.160 He's older.

00:48:16.640 What is he,

00:48:16.960 19 or 20 now?

00:48:18.860 It's just not,

00:48:20.500 doesn't play as well

00:48:21.460 and so they don't care.

00:48:22.120 This is what Democrats do.

00:48:23.200 Democrats use people

00:48:26.800 when they are useful to them

00:48:28.720 and then they chew them up

00:48:29.960 and eat them up

00:48:30.660 and spit them out.

00:48:32.240 And I think it's,

00:48:33.000 I don't think I'm being unfair here.

00:48:34.420 I think this is part

00:48:35.160 of the lib worldview

00:48:36.720 that views people

00:48:37.820 not as children of God,

00:48:40.480 made in the image

00:48:40.920 of likeness of God

00:48:41.660 with dignity

00:48:42.360 that should be respected

00:48:43.440 as eternal beings,

00:48:44.800 but as just kind of fodder,

00:48:47.040 as just kind of things

00:48:49.340 to be used

00:48:50.400 for their own benefit.

00:48:51.660 And those things,

00:48:52.360 they talk about

00:48:53.160 how much they love the people

00:48:54.340 and power to the people,

00:48:55.320 but really the people, 0.79

00:48:56.480 they need to shut up 0.99

00:48:57.260 and eat the bugs 0.99

00:48:58.280 and stay in their little pods

00:48:59.860 and they shouldn't own anything.

00:49:02.100 And because us great Tesla owners,

00:49:04.360 we need to be able to thrive

00:49:05.540 and they need to keep

00:49:06.580 their mouths quiet.

00:49:07.600 And if there's too many of them

00:49:08.820 and we don't like the way they look

00:49:10.020 and we don't like

00:49:10.480 where they're being born, 1.00

00:49:11.040 we're just going to kill them. 1.00

00:49:12.160 We're going to, 1.00

00:49:12.980 and we're going to discourage them

00:49:14.040 from being conceived

00:49:14.920 in the first place.

00:49:16.940 And they can't have their beliefs.

00:49:18.580 They're going to try

00:49:19.040 to cling bitterly

00:49:19.960 to their Second Amendment rights

00:49:21.880 and their religious views, 0.96

00:49:23.000 but it's ridiculous. 0.99

00:49:24.240 They're just, 0.98

00:49:24.600 they're nothing.

00:49:25.320 They're nothing to me. 0.99

00:49:26.320 They should be cast out

00:49:27.600 into the outer darkness

00:49:28.340 where there's wailing

00:49:29.400 and gnashing of teeth.

00:49:30.340 That's one way

00:49:31.740 of viewing the world,

00:49:32.600 a view of the world

00:49:33.380 that is divorced

00:49:34.560 from community,

00:49:37.160 from honesty,

00:49:39.040 from integrity,

00:49:40.080 from the truth,

00:49:42.020 from objective reality.

00:49:43.560 That's a vision of the world

00:49:44.680 in which the truth

00:49:45.440 means nothing.

00:49:46.060 And even the fact checkers

00:49:47.500 are just going to spin,

00:49:49.000 spin, spin,

00:49:49.940 and lie,

00:49:50.820 lie, lie, 0.76

00:49:51.500 so long as it gives them

00:49:52.380 more power.
