The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1068 - Quadruple-Jabbed Pfizer CEO Gets Full Blown COVID

00:00:00.000 In the latest post-death blow to the credibility of the public health establishment,

00:00:05.500 the quadruple vaccinated CEO of Fauci-Ouchi manufacturer Pfizer, Albert Bourla,

00:00:12.660 has just come down with COVID. Now, lest you conclude the failure of the shots to stop him

00:00:19.140 from catching the virus would in any way suggest that the jabs are useless or dumb or an obvious 0.98

00:00:26.540 scam. The CEO of Pfizer wants you to know that he's very happy to have taken the shots because he 0.97

00:00:32.960 totally would have gotten COVID way harder or something had he not. Now, unlike most of the

00:00:41.560 liberal automatons who recite their fealty to the jab every time they catch COVID, the CEO of Pfizer,

00:00:48.520 ironically, seems to have been skeptical of the shots from the beginning. The Wall Street Journal

00:00:53.900 reported just six weeks ago that well into the pandemic, as late as March of last year,

00:01:00.120 Bourla had to cancel a trip overseas because he hadn't taken both his shots in time.

00:01:06.280 When that awkward news broke, the CEO tried to spin his reluctance to get his own vaccine

00:01:11.940 as an opportunity, quote, to encourage those with vaccine hesitancy later on. Uh-huh, sure.

00:01:19.280 He didn't want to get it. And I don't blame him for not wanting to get it. It's a bizarre

00:01:25.560 experimental technology injected directly into people's veins without any long-term data to stop

00:01:32.700 a virus that isn't all that bad for most people. And the shot didn't even end up doing what it was

00:01:38.880 supposed to do. I don't blame the Pfizer CEO for avoiding the shot. I just blame him for demanding

00:01:46.540 that all the rest of us get it. I blame him for pretending that the three or four shots that

00:01:51.660 he's gotten since then have worked out great, even after he caught COVID. I blame him and our

00:01:57.420 entire ruling class for urinating on our legs and telling us that it's raining, for playing us all 1.00

00:02:04.060 for fools, and for thinking that we were so stupid that we'd never catch on. I'm Michael Knowles. 1.00

00:02:09.420 This is The Michael Knowles Show. Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday was from

00:02:21.240 Holly Green, who says, I was listening to Rush Limbaugh before he passed, and he said that no

00:02:25.940 president has ever or ever will be arrested. That's a really great observation from Rush Limbaugh and a

00:02:33.560 great hope from Rush Limbaugh. And unbelievably, Rush didn't die all that long ago, but so much

00:02:39.520 has changed even since Rush died. And now we're on the brink of Andy McCarthy, former federal prosecutor,

00:02:45.220 says that seven chances out of 10, Donald Trump gets indicted after that phishing expedition that

00:02:51.740 the FBI launched on Mar-a-Lago just a few days ago. That would be difficult to come back from.

00:02:59.420 If Biden's corrupt DOJ actually arrests Donald Trump, actually indicts Donald Trump,

00:03:08.040 it would seem to me that is crossing the Rubicon. That phrase gets used a lot. We've crossed the

00:03:13.300 Rubicon. I think arresting former presidents and current political rivals to the incumbent,

00:03:19.000 I don't see how you come back from that. Will Biden do it? I don't know. The Democrats have blown

00:03:24.500 through every other standard and norm. Wouldn't be surprised. Could that be the beginning of the

00:03:29.380 death of our republic? Very well could. But speaking of death, you got to check out

00:04:50.780 Speaking of getting shot, Los Angeles, not doing so great right now. One of the reasons LA is not

00:04:58.120 doing so great. One of the top reasons why LA is not doing so great is because they have a DA

00:05:03.720 named George Gascon. He is a George Soros-funded radical pro-criminal DA. George Gascon was put into

00:05:12.720 his position to let criminals off the hook because the libs believe that, I'll give you the most charitable

00:05:19.880 take. The most charitable take is the reason that the criminals commit crimes is because they get

00:05:24.460 punished and because society has failed them. And so if society goes really easy on the criminals,

00:05:29.960 then they'll stop committing crimes and we'll all live in a wonderful, happy utopia.

00:05:33.720 That's the really charitable take on why the libs do this. The less charitable take, or maybe the more 1.00

00:05:40.240 realistic take, let's call it, is that the libs realize that they benefit greatly from chaos and

00:05:45.280 disorder in the streets. This is a concept known as anarcho-tyranny. The idea that the crazier things

00:05:52.080 get, the less order you have in society, the easier it is for the libs to go in and take power. And so

00:05:58.580 then the more power they take, the more they encourage this kind of disorder. And it's a cycle

00:06:03.880 that really allows them to amass quite a lot of power. Whatever it is, that's the situation we've got

00:06:10.180 right now in Los Angeles. And so there's an effort underway, or there was an effort underway to

00:06:15.960 recall George Gascon because he's driving that city even further into the dirt. You saw a similar

00:06:21.440 effort with the Soros-installed prosecutor, Chesa Boudin. Chesa Boudin, whose parents, both of his

00:06:27.680 parents, were domestic terrorists. They were weather underground terrorists, and the apple didn't fall

00:06:33.220 far from the tree. And this schmuck up in San Francisco caused even more chaos and mayhem and 0.98

00:06:39.160 violence and let even more criminals off the hook. And the almost universally liberal voters in San 0.98

00:06:44.540 Francisco chose to recall him. It was put up to a ballot measure. They recalled Boudin. He's out.

00:06:50.740 There's a new sheriff in town. They were going to do the same thing in Los Angeles. And then something

00:06:56.240 really weird happened. The effort to recall the DA, George Gascon, failed to qualify for the ballot.

00:07:06.180 And the reason is, they went out, they got signatures on their petition. They only needed

00:07:12.400 566,857 signatures. The recall effort got the 566,000. Actually, the recall effort got 715,000

00:07:24.820 signatures. That's great. Well past the margin that they need to win. And yet, the Libs managed to

00:07:34.520 disqualify almost 200,000 signatures. So that brought the number down to 520,050 signatures

00:07:43.180 that they said were valid, just under the threshold requirement. Now, people challenge signatures in

00:07:51.880 all sorts of petition efforts. That is just a fact of politics. The Republicans do it. The Democrats do

00:07:56.080 it. That's the way it goes. So you need a healthy margin beyond the official number that is required

00:08:02.140 for any particular petition effort. To disqualify 200,000 when the threshold is only 566,567,000,

00:08:13.140 that's pretty unusual. It's also pretty unusual that the Libs would disqualify all of those signatures

00:08:20.020 at a time that we are told, don't check signatures. Don't check voter ID. Don't check people's addresses.

00:08:26.020 Just mail out ballots to anybody, widespread, unsolicited. How dare you? If you in any way

00:08:33.180 try to verify that the person voting is actually the person who's supposed to vote, you're a racist. 0.77

00:08:38.240 That's anti-democratic. And yet, the Libs seem to have done that. They seem to have gotten pretty

00:08:41.980 aggressive with that when it comes to the recall effort for George Gascon. And what are the odds?

00:08:46.500 What are the odds that the Libs would be able to disqualify that many signatures to bring you just

00:08:54.160 right below the threshold and keep George Gascon in power? This right after the San Francisco DA

00:09:00.380 unexpectedly was recalled. It's just, wow. Really boggles the imagination, doesn't it?

00:09:07.760 Almost as though there are some shenanigans going on with our votes.

00:09:12.060 Almost as though the Libs sometimes rig things. Or at the very least, they encourage election

00:09:20.340 procedures that make the elections vulnerable to fraud. This is not just me saying this.

00:09:26.620 This is not just the tinfoil hat, crazy, wild, right-wing conspiracy theorists,

00:09:31.400 the insurrectionists, the threat to our democracy. The liberals admit this too.

00:09:35.140 My absolute favorite story of the last several weeks. Starbucks. About as liberal a corporation

00:09:44.180 as it gets. Starbucks just asked the National Labor Relations Board to suspend mail-in ballots

00:09:52.640 for their union elections because Starbucks says the mail-in ballots allow for fraud.

00:09:58.740 Is that, gosh, is Trump running Starbucks now? After he left the White House, did he become the CEO of

00:10:06.800 Starbucks? Is some crazy radical right-winger running Starbucks? No, it's a very left-wing 0.90

00:10:10.400 corporation. They're just willing to admit when Trump is not at issue, when a potential Republican

00:10:15.980 president is not at issue, they're willing to admit that mail-in ballots are obviously open for fraud.

00:10:21.100 Barack Obama said that 10 years ago, for goodness sakes.

00:10:23.580 So, Starbucks accuses the NLRB of secretly coordinating with the union organizers in the

00:10:30.840 Kansas City area. This is a dispute over unionizing a store in Overland Park, Kansas.

00:10:37.700 And during the union vote, they allowed mail-in ballots. And then what happened?

00:10:42.720 Listen, I actually don't know whether Starbucks' accusation is legit or not. It sort of doesn't

00:10:47.500 matter. Starbucks, a very liberal corporation, is making the claim that the mail-in ballots

00:10:53.360 leave elections open to fraud, which obviously they do. Now, if we're willing to enforce

00:10:59.520 election integrity when it comes to the unionization efforts for one store, for one coffee shop,

00:11:09.020 in coordination with the NLRB, don't you think it might be wise to implement, at the very least,

00:11:15.520 those same basic security measures when it comes to electing the president of the United States?

00:11:19.740 Oh, but if you say that, you're a conspiracy theorist. You're undermining our democracy.

00:11:24.380 You're a Trumpist stooge who's a clear and present danger. You're a domestic terrorist. 1.00

00:11:32.060 If you're a Starbucks executive, that's totally fine. You're normal. If you're Barack Obama, 0.99

00:11:36.160 when he says the same thing, that's wonderful. You're actually, you're trying to defend our

00:11:40.380 democracy. You're trying to defend one man, one vote. And yet, when you say the exact same thing

00:11:45.400 as a conservative, you're a threat to democracy. This is, I've mentioned this phrase a couple times

00:11:51.000 in the last month or two. This is what Mike Anton, who's the author of the Flight 93 essay,

00:11:57.640 great conservative intellectual, he calls this the celebration parallax, a parallax being the

00:12:02.860 different vantage of a single point from different points of view, the different position of a point

00:12:08.360 from different points of view. When it's the liberals talking about mail-in ballots for their own

00:12:14.080 benefit, then we've got to, we've got to get rid of all the mail-in ballots because they're terrible.

00:12:18.200 They're open for fraud. When Republicans say exactly the same thing about mail-in ballots,

00:12:22.620 no, that's horrible. That's a, that's a terrible threat to democracy. And speaking of labor relations,

00:12:28.140 we are seeing a real radicalization of labor relations, especially in Minneapolis,

00:12:32.180 where a teacher union just decided to fire a bunch of white people on the basis of their race. 0.56

00:14:03.840 As part of the negotiation, the union has stipulated that white teachers will be laid off

00:14:10.780 or reassigned before any educators of color in the Minneapolis public school system if MPS needs

00:14:19.540 to reduce staff. This is after the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers and the Minneapolis public

00:14:26.040 schools struck a deal to end a strike. This was a few months ago. Now we're seeing the details of

00:14:34.400 this contract. White teachers laid off first. Why? Why? What is the argument for that? The argument for 0.77

00:14:43.240 that from the libs is white people bad, black people good. Or the argument from the libs is white people 0.99

00:14:49.980 have privilege and black people are oppressed. And that's why we need to create a new racial hierarchy 1.00

00:14:56.840 where black people get all the privileges and white people are oppressed. That's basically the answer. 0.98

00:15:02.280 Now, I think every reasonable person listening out there of every race, of every background,

00:15:10.920 in every state listening to this show would say, this is a terrible thing.

00:15:13.820 This is an absolutely terrible thing. We don't want these kinds of racial hierarchies.

00:15:22.300 We don't want one race of people to be targeted for discrimination. We don't want other races to 1.00

00:15:28.500 be given an advantage at the expense of the other race. This is really, really terrible.

00:15:34.480 Who's pushing this? I bet you the people really pushing this along are the white liberals 0.74

00:15:40.760 because of a sense of white guilt, because they bought into all this ridiculous racial propaganda, 0.97

00:15:49.140 because they bought into things like critical race theory. This is really bad. I don't, 0.98

00:15:54.760 if you in any way believe that this sort of thing is acceptable, you have no business calling yourself

00:16:02.380 a conservative or even a normal person. Okay. And I know the thing, you know, the libs are going to go 0.99

00:16:07.740 with this because the racial identity politics has benefited them to some degree in the past.

00:16:14.780 Don't, the squishes are the ones you're going to, you're going to hear from the squishes. 1.00

00:16:17.980 The conservative case for racial quotas against white people. Here's the conservative case for 0.99

00:16:23.360 not allowing white people to get into Harvard or for forcing white people to be fired first in 0.56

00:16:28.920 Minneapolis. Here's the conservative. Well, actually guys, when you really think about it,

00:16:31.860 don't do it. Don't squish. It's too clever by half. Don't buy all of this stuff.

00:16:35.660 It doesn't work. It's not helping anyone. Some people believe that they're really pandering to

00:16:41.120 different racial groups. Even that I'm not sure works. Sean Maloney, who's the head of the DCCC,

00:16:46.220 the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Sean Maloney says this stuff really is not

00:16:52.080 resonating with voters on the ground. It might work in the faculty lounge. It might work in the

00:16:57.840 beautiful penthouses of Black Lives Matter and the rest of the kind of corporate funded libs, 0.98

00:17:03.380 but it doesn't work with voters on the ground, whether they're conservative or whether they're

00:17:07.120 liberal. Maloney says, I think sometimes we're really clear on our own priorities.

00:17:12.780 This is in an interview with the New York Times. And we don't ask, what are the priorities of the

00:17:16.240 people we represent? If I've had any success in the Trump district, it's because I try to take

00:17:21.740 seriously the priorities of the people I represent, not just tell them about my own. So Sean Maloney,

00:17:26.760 I've actually known Sean Maloney since before he got elected, because Sean Maloney now represents my

00:17:33.540 home district in New York, a place where I grew up. He's now the representative. And I was one of the

00:17:40.600 aides for the person that unfortunately he defeated after a redistricting campaign.

00:17:46.360 So I've been on the campaign trail with Sean Maloney. This guy, he's right about this. He's absolutely

00:17:53.980 right. The district is sort of, I guess it went for Trump, but it's only because there are very

00:17:59.320 liberal areas of the district and, and very conservative areas of the district as well.

00:18:03.240 And Sean Maloney says, quote, if I'm talking to a sheet metal worker in Pine Bush, he doesn't talk

00:18:08.100 about communities of color. He doesn't use the word rubric. He doesn't talk about the first generation

00:18:14.080 folks working in Newburgh. The first generation folks working in Newburgh don't use the word

00:18:19.860 latinx. Most people don't understand who are cisgender, why they need to put pronouns in their

00:18:25.620 email signature. He's absolutely right about this. And what Maloney is trying to say to convince his

00:18:30.720 Democrats to stop being so weird is he's saying, look, Democrats have good and valid reasons for

00:18:35.760 why we believe the things and care about things. I just find that we need to spend a little more time

00:18:40.960 building a relationship with voters that is more respectful and more patient with where they are

00:18:44.940 to enroll them in the changes that we want to make. And Maloney makes this point. Maloney is a

00:18:49.440 homosexual. He's, he's adopted kids. He's, he really lived in Manhattan. I think he probably 0.99

00:18:56.120 still does live in Manhattan, but at least finally now he has a house at least within his district.

00:19:01.020 This is a guy who spent his whole career as a political operator. He worked for the Clintons.

00:19:07.240 I think he worked for Elliot Spitzer, who is a corrupt, or David Patterson, one of the corrupt 0.54

00:19:11.300 governors of New York, who's a Democrat. This guy is, this guy is not what you would imagine as a

00:19:18.000 kind of moderate, just blue collar, hardworking Democrat. Okay. And yet he realizes if he wants

00:19:23.580 to be viable, especially in this moment in American politics, the Democrats need to speak to normal

00:19:29.000 people, not weirdos who use the word Latinx and try to trans their kids and do all sorts of weird

00:19:34.440 stuff. He realizes that the kind of extreme racial and sexual identity politics that the Dems have

00:19:42.960 been playing, that the Minnesota Dems are playing right now, trying to overtly discriminate against

00:19:48.160 white people, that's not going to play among normal, ordinary people. I love this word he uses. 1.00

00:19:54.700 He says, we have to build a relationship with voters. We need to make it clear. If you want to get

00:20:00.160 anything done in politics, you can't just focus on your own abstract pie in the sky,

00:20:06.120 completely disconnected agenda. You've got to meet people where they are and bring them along with you

00:20:11.100 and get to know people and have people like you. I, I'm not exactly best friends with Sean Maloney,

00:20:16.420 but I did spend some time with him on the campaign trail. I will say he's very good at this. He's very

00:20:20.800 good at creating a rapport with people and talking to people like they're really human beings. And he's

00:20:26.580 not just a total robot who's pushing his own agenda. I mean, I think the guy is just awful in 0.94

00:20:30.720 politics. I'd love to see him defeated, but he's making a very good point that his Democrats certainly

00:20:35.440 need to listen to, but Republicans should learn from this as well. This is why Trump is so effective.

00:20:43.280 There are a lot of reasons Trump is effective. He's a celebrity. He's extremely entertaining.

00:20:47.020 He offered a different set of policies than his Republican opponents in 2016.

00:20:51.100 But one other thing here, and I think it probably gives him an edge over his prospective opponents

00:20:57.480 in 2024. He's got a real relationship with people. People feel a real personal loyalty to him.

00:21:05.720 This guy is a billionaire from New York who was born rich and got richer and lived as a playboy and

00:21:13.440 slept with supermodels and flies around on a gigantic airplane. And yet he's so relatable. People feel like

00:21:20.580 they have a real relationship with him. And the same cannot be said for pretty much any other

00:21:27.420 Republican in my lifetime. Certainly not to the extent that it's true of Trump.

00:21:31.140 And so that's why Trump is leading in 2024. And make no mistake, Trump as of today is running for

00:21:38.220 president in 2024. People can bury their heads in the sand. They can say, no, no, I prefer this

00:21:42.500 candidate or that candidate or this other guy would be better. Yeah, sure. Maybe. I don't know.

00:21:46.380 All I'm telling you is, as of today, Trump is running. The man just released a campaign commercial.

00:21:53.380 We are a nation in decline. We are a failing nation.

00:21:59.680 We are a nation that is begging Venezuela and Saudi Arabia for oil.

00:22:09.800 We are a nation that surrendered in Afghanistan, leaving behind dead soldiers and American citizens

00:22:17.240 and $85 billion worth of the finest military equipment in the world.

00:22:21.860 We are a nation that allowed Russia to devastate a country, Ukraine, killing hundreds of thousands 1.00

00:22:29.340 of people. And it will only get worse. We're a nation that has weaponized its law enforcement

00:22:35.520 against the opposing political party like never before. We've never seen anything like this.

00:22:40.400 We're a nation that no longer has a free and fair press. Fake news is about all you get.

00:22:47.260 We are a nation where free speech is no longer allowed, where crime is rampant like never

00:22:54.260 before, where the economy has been collapsing, where more people died of COVID in 2021 than

00:23:01.400 in 2020. We are a nation that in many ways has become a joke.

00:23:05.980 But soon we will have greatness again. It was hardworking patriots like you who built this

00:23:14.520 country. And it is hardworking patriots like you who are going to save our country.

00:23:20.020 This ad goes on for, I think, three and a half or four minutes. And it's all amazing. I don't have

00:23:26.260 time to play the whole ad here, but I think you get the flavor of it. That guy is running for president.

00:23:33.800 And I don't care if you are the most hardcore Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz, Nikki Haley,

00:23:42.300 Tim Scott, whoever is going to run for president. You might be the most hardcore supporter of those

00:23:46.940 people. You cannot deny that is a powerful campaign ad. And so I'm not saying this to say Trump should

00:23:54.460 run for president or he's the best nominee or anything like that. I'm just telling you,

00:23:57.600 it is a fact that as of today, he at least believes that he is running. It's going to be

00:24:04.760 very hard to stop him. Even if the libs arrest him, even if they throw him in jail, the man still

00:24:10.160 could run for president. And so when we're thinking about other candidates or how to run the campaign

00:24:14.720 or what 24 is going to look like, you've got to look at it from that perspective. Right now,

00:24:19.280 far and away in all the polls, Trump is the leading candidate. Now, I'm very excited. This

00:24:26.540 coming Friday, we've got my favorite time of the week. That is going to be the voice mailbag brought

00:24:31.620 to you by Pure Talk. A lot of people have written in. They've asked, hey, how do I submit questions

00:24:35.980 for the voice mailbag? The way to do it is you just go to my show, regular place. You go find my show

00:24:42.120 on the Daily Wire website and you'll see it says you can submit something to the mailbag that's

00:24:48.220 going to open up an email. Just attach whatever audio file you want with your voice mailbag. You

00:24:52.860 can record it on your phone or on your computer or wherever. Try to keep it to less than a minute.

00:24:57.280 Sometimes people send me these manifestos that are 12 minutes long. I don't have time to play that on

00:25:00.880 the show. But keep it to less than a minute. Mail it in. We will hear your wonderful comments

00:25:07.520 and questions in the voice mailbag. Not to drive this point home too hard. But I think it's really

00:25:16.540 important for the Republicans now who are arguing over 2024. You have to grapple with the fact that

00:25:23.360 Trump is the presumptive nominee. Doesn't matter if they raid his home. Doesn't matter if they indict

00:25:28.300 him. Doesn't matter if he's sitting in jail. You can run for president while you're in jail. It's

00:25:32.020 already happened. And the guy who did it got a lot of the vote. Eugene Debs, who was an

00:25:37.260 actual socialist, the most prominent socialist in American history. That guy ran for president from

00:25:43.040 jail in 1920. And he got 6.8 or nearly 7% of the vote, I think. And you don't think Trump would do

00:25:54.540 that? You don't think Trump would run wearing an orange jumpsuit from the prison yard? You know he

00:26:00.920 would. You absolutely know he would. And so if the Republicans want a different nominee,

00:26:08.280 they're going to have to undertake some kind of Herculean effort. Because right now, especially

00:26:14.640 after the raid on Mar-a-Lago, I don't see how you beat that guy. Unless 75 years of McDonald's

00:26:22.600 finally gets him. And I don't think so. I don't think it will. I think he's very energetic. He's very,

00:26:26.440 very vibrant. I don't see, unless he chooses not to run, I don't see how you stop him from getting

00:26:34.220 the nomination. Especially the more information that comes out from this raid. The latest, I don't

00:26:39.960 know if you caught this headline, the latest is that the FBI goes in there and they keep changing

00:26:44.740 the justification for why they had to raid Trump. It was, he had nuclear secrets. Oh no, actually,

00:26:49.380 maybe he had classified information. Well, that doesn't really matter. He had binders of photos.

00:26:55.120 They took photo binders of his. And then we just find out the FBI stole his passports.

00:27:01.620 He had, this is according to Trump, in the raid by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three

00:27:06.440 passports, one of which was expired, along with everything else. What happens? Immediately,

00:27:14.420 you hear from the libs, this isn't true. Trump's lying. It's not, even you see some news reports.

00:27:19.720 It's no, the FBI, the FBI didn't steal his passports and they've returned them.

00:27:25.960 Hold on, wait, what was that second part? Yeah, the FBI is total fake news. Trump is lying as

00:27:30.160 always. The FBI did not steal Trump's passports and it's not a big deal because they returned them.

00:27:36.840 How do you, how do you return something that you didn't steal? And oh, okay, well now the FBI has

00:27:42.600 admitted and the DOJ have admitted that they did take Trump's passports and they have returned to

00:27:50.440 them. Why'd they do that? Why? Why would you take the man's passports? Why would you take random

00:27:55.500 binders of photos if you were going in to get the nuclear codes or whatever? Because the purpose of

00:28:03.660 this raid, the predicate for this raid was extremely vague. I mean, we have the search warrant. We've

00:28:09.820 talked about the search warrant on this show. It's very, very vague. We have no idea what this raid

00:28:15.440 was really about. Warrants are supposed to be pretty specific. And especially when you're talking

00:28:20.520 about raiding the home of a former president, completely unprecedented. It should be real

00:28:24.860 specific and it wasn't. Why? Because they weren't looking for anything in particular. This was a

00:28:30.380 phishing expedition. And you don't even necessarily have to blame the FBI itself because the person who

00:28:37.460 called for the raid was Joe Biden's political appointee, Merrick Garland, who's the attorney

00:28:41.880 general. Do you really think that this was about the nuclear codes and that's why they waited 18

00:28:49.260 months to go get it? And that's why they waited three days after the warrant was even issued to

00:28:53.900 go get it. And that's why the judge who gave them the warrant gave them two weeks to undertake it

00:28:57.700 because of the nuclear codes? No. You think it was because of classified information? No. Trump says it

00:29:02.300 was declassified and he, as president, had the right to declassify whatever he wanted. It's not about

00:29:07.060 any of that. It's just about going in and trying to find some crime. They have a mark here, okay?

00:29:14.680 And they're trying to find a crime to pin on him, just as they've been doing for six or seven years.

00:29:20.640 And no matter what you think about the guy, no one's denying that Trump has faults.

00:29:25.220 No matter what you think about it, when you look at that, it makes you more likely to support him.

00:29:29.500 Is you say, man, if these guys are so freaking desperate to take him out, if they're willing to

00:29:37.400 upend the entire history of American standards and norms, there must be a reason. This guy must

00:29:44.380 really pose a threat to them. Speaking of political attacks, you got a race right now for Senate in

00:29:51.060 Pennsylvania. The race is between two people. Dr. Oz, who, as far as I can tell, is half a Democrat,

00:29:59.340 at least, and was just on radio attacking pro-life bills very, very recently until he decided he

00:30:06.660 wanted to become the Republican nominee for Senate and was castigating pro-lifers. And I've never heard

00:30:14.660 the man articulate any particularly conservative point of view in my life, but he won the nomination

00:30:19.760 for that seat. So, and unfortunately with Trump's endorsement. So you got Dr. Oz as the Republican

00:30:25.520 candidate, and you got this guy, John Fetterman, who is the Democratic nominee. John Fetterman is one

00:30:32.500 of the goofiest candidates I have ever seen on the campaign trail. Here, just to give you a little

00:30:39.540 flavor, if you haven't watched too much, here's Fetterman. And you can count on us

00:30:44.740 to eliminate the filibuster. If you come out and step with us, we will be able to stand with you in

00:30:59.640 D.C. I gave away the lieutenant governor governor in Pennsylvania, the only lieutenant governor in the

00:31:04.900 history to do that. And let's, let's get some stuff done for America. Who would ever think that I would be

00:31:12.660 the normal, the normal one in the race there? John Fetterman makes Joe Biden look lucid.

00:31:22.140 John Fetterman makes Joe Biden look like a Rhodes Scholar. This guy, not a whole lot going on between

00:31:28.920 the ears. John Fetterman, I'm not sure that he's ever earned a dollar in his life through actual work.

00:31:33.720 It just came out that, that this guy who positions himself as a working class hero, he's the working

00:31:38.780 man's candidate. He wears hoodies. He's got his little goatee thing. He's a cool, tough working

00:31:43.340 guy from Pennsylvania. Turns out this guy's basically never worked in Honest Day in his life.

00:31:47.480 He was getting an allowance from his parents to subsidize his political career. The money that

00:31:52.080 he was bringing in, it was, when we talk allowance, when I was a kid, I got $1 a week allowance

00:31:56.260 sometimes, and I didn't even get it all the time. John Fetterman was getting over 50 grand a year

00:32:01.460 from his parents, okay? This guy is such a cartoonishly bad candidate. His, his policy

00:32:09.360 issues, his, his policy positions are absolutely terrible when they're coherent at all. His health

00:32:14.840 is not all that great, so he's been off the campaign trail for a long period of time. When he comes back

00:32:19.820 on, frankly, he was doing better when he was off the campaign trail. This should be a slam dunk win.

00:32:26.020 And here is how Dr. Oz is attacking John Fetterman. Here is the campaign ad that Dr. Oz just posted

00:32:34.040 from his own personal account. Now that John Fetterman claims to be recovering, let's pull back his hoodie

00:32:40.760 and examine what's in his head. Looks like he has some screws loose. What's this? Fetterman wants to

00:32:49.020 release one-third of all prisoners. That's crazy. Spend more tax dollars, everything will cost more.

00:32:57.040 That's nuts. Slow energy production, gas prices will skyrocket. That's ridiculous. Socialized medicine?

00:33:08.040 How do you get these crazy ideas? Now it makes sense. Better close it up. John Fetterman is crazier than

00:33:18.720 you think. That is, and I don't think I'm exaggerating here, the worst political ad I have 0.66

00:33:27.780 ever seen. And I've, I've seen a lot of political ads. Remember I Am Not a Witch, Christine O'Donnell?

00:33:34.700 You remember the demon sheep ad? You remember, I've seen, there have been so many terrible

00:33:38.860 advertisements. I don't know that any of them have ever been worse than that one. Because that ad

00:33:45.260 makes me more inclined to support John Fetterman. That attack ad makes John Fetterman look better than

00:33:54.060 he actually is. Just makes him seem kind of silly. You know, just makes him seem kind of, oh, he's got 0.99

00:33:59.980 those big googly eyes. That's kind of fun. No, the guy's very, very dangerous. He's, his policies would

00:34:06.880 be absolutely terrible for Pennsylvania. Absolutely terrible for the United States. He should not be

00:34:13.920 trusted with power. He's not who he says he is. He's a liar. He's deceitful. No, no, he's just a wacky

00:34:21.860 waka waka. And then what? Then half of the ad, it's just silly little marionettes and puppets of AOC

00:34:27.660 and Bernie Sanders. Who cares? What are you talking about? So it should be about Fetterman and how 0.96

00:34:32.640 terrible he is. John Fetterman is a much worse candidate than AOC or Bernie Sanders. Bernie

00:34:36.680 Sanders has been in American politics for half a century. Bernie Sanders is a fairly popular

00:34:41.200 candidate, actually. Even AOC, she's a pretty shrewd politician. Why on earth would you 1.00

00:34:46.480 take the attention off of him? I'm not, is, is Dr. Oz getting a payoff from the Democrats here?

00:34:52.680 I don't know. I don't know what to make of it. It's really, really unfortunate though.

00:34:57.580 John Fetterman, this just came out from Washington Free Beacon. He, he voted to free a convicted

00:35:02.520 murderer who killed an 18 year old for heroin money. He's very frequently the sole Pennsylvania 0.89

00:35:07.640 board of pardons member to vote for freeing murderers. Put that in a campaign ad. Don't

00:35:11.960 put AOC as a jack in the box. What is wrong with these people? Not a good way to win a race. Maybe Dr.

00:35:17.660 Oz is just there to lose the race. I don't know. I don't know what he's doing. Unfortunate. 0.99

00:35:21.140 Speaking of competition, this one's good. This story is going to get me in trouble,

00:35:25.020 but I don't care. I've got to speak the truth. Even if, even if it's unpopular.

00:35:30.080 There was a clip that was going around last week from the Little League World Series.

00:35:33.460 I remember when I was a kid, when I would play in Little League, I would watch the Little

00:35:36.060 League World Series. It's very nice. And the, you know, the, the, actually the kids are pretty

00:35:40.860 impressive athletes given their age. And there was a clip that went viral though, not because anyone

00:35:45.240 cares about Little League or, or baseball, but because a pitcher beamed the batter in the head

00:35:52.080 and then the pitcher took it very personally and the batter, well, the batter did something

00:35:56.940 unexpected. You see, beams the kid in the head, helmet goes flying, poor kid goes down.

00:36:04.120 Luckily the ball almost kind of hit him where the helmet wasn't even covering.

00:36:14.120 Kid's okay. So then the kid goes to first, kid takes his helmet off and then throws his helmet

00:36:18.360 down and he starts walking to the pitcher's mound. And you think, uh-oh, is this, are the, are the

00:36:23.380 dugouts going to empty? Is the kid going to wallop this guy? And then the kid, the kid gives the pitcher

00:36:28.740 a hug because the pitcher was very upset. And I don't know, I, I assume the pitcher didn't try to

00:36:35.240 beam the kid in the head, but maybe it was an end. So the kid goes and hugs, hugs the pitcher. And this

00:36:39.500 is supposed to be a really sweet moment. And you can hear the, the commentators are saying, this is

00:36:43.820 really, really sweet. I'm sure these are really good kids. That's really good. In a way, this is very

00:36:50.480 heartwarming. Nevertheless, that was not the right thing to do. That was not, you're not supposed to

00:36:59.200 hug your opponents during active play in baseball or any other sport. You're not, there is like a

00:37:08.000 league of their own. There is no crying in baseball. That's true. Even down to little league. That's

00:37:13.240 true. The reason that we have a little league, the reason that we have junior sports leagues is to teach

00:37:17.900 kids the lessons of sports. I'm not exactly a varsity football player myself. Okay. Though I

00:37:25.500 actually did play in little league for a very long time. Wasn't, wasn't the greatest batter. I was kind

00:37:29.440 of like Don Baylor. I would just lean into the pitches and then it would hit me and I'd get on

00:37:32.440 base. But the reason that you have kids participate in this is it teaches you things about competition,

00:37:37.960 about leadership, about sportsmanship, about grit, about toughness. You're not supposed to hug

00:37:46.940 people during active play. Certainly not your opponents. Reminds me of Ecclesiastes. There is a

00:37:54.880 time to every purpose under heaven. There's a time for war. There's a time for peace. There's a time,

00:38:02.260 there's a time to embrace and there's a time to refrain from embracing. And in active competition,

00:38:09.740 you were supposed to refrain from embracing. I hope those kids go out and get a soda pop after

00:38:16.780 the game. I hope they go all get some ice cream and talk about what a great game it was. And they

00:38:21.220 are very sportsmanlike. But during the competition, that's not what you're supposed to do. And there

00:38:26.880 are a lot of lessons here for politics. Okay. Sometimes I feel this is, forget about the little

00:38:33.800 league for a second. Sometimes conservatives start hugging during active play. They start hugging our

00:38:38.580 opponents during active play. We grant the liberals so much. We give away the game. We even sometimes

00:38:45.940 attempt to lose with dignity. We're so sometimes ashamed of our own side. We say, no, guys, come on.

00:38:51.680 We pull a Liz Cheney. We say, I'm with you. I'm really with you. I'm one of the good ones. I'm a

00:38:55.540 conservative, but not that kind of conservative. No. We want there to be a good political order. We want

00:39:01.760 to get along with our, even our political opponents. We want to be able to have a thriving

00:39:07.760 country. We do have to live with these people. But there's a time to every purpose under heaven.

00:39:12.820 There's a time for war. There's a time for peace. There's a time to embrace. There's a time to refrain

00:39:16.120 from embracing. Speaking of embracing, there is a new conservative dating app out there.

00:39:24.220 Remember, this headline just came out. Kayleigh McEnany's sister, President Trump's press secretary,

00:39:31.240 Kayleigh McEnany, has just launched a right-wing dating app. People have written in here. They 1.00

00:39:38.920 write into the Daily Wire all the time. They say, hey, why won't you guys start a dating app? You've

00:39:42.720 got to raise your company. You've got kids' books. Why wouldn't you start a right-wing dating app? 0.99

00:39:50.360 Because all of us are having trouble out there in the dating world, and we don't want to date a bunch 0.88

00:39:53.840 of weirdo libs. So Kayleigh McEnany's sister has come out and done this. But it raises the question,

00:40:01.400 obviously, I have not tried the dating app. I don't intend to try that or any other dating apps.

00:40:06.000 But it raises a question, can there even be such a thing as a conservative dating app?

00:40:12.640 While the radical gender ideologues decry the harms of sex-exclusive bathrooms, single-sex bathrooms,

00:40:20.240 comedy specials, and dead-named celebrities, kids are the ones suffering. Just recently,

00:40:27.220 the FDA issued a warning that prescribed puberty blockers, the ones transgender activists claim

00:40:33.160 are harmless and reversible, can actually cause vision loss and brain swelling. Gee, who would

00:40:37.080 have thunk it? The experimentation on children has got to end. To fight back, we must expose and defend

00:40:42.420 the truth. Such as was done in Matt Walsh's wonderful documentary, What is a Woman? With

00:40:47.600 over 5,000 audience ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, What is a Woman? is pushing back against the left's

00:40:52.220 dangerous narratives. Help us keep the momentum going by watching and sharing the movie. What is

00:40:56.820 a Woman? Go to whatisawoman.com. Whatisawoman.com. Conservatives are about to get our own dating app. 0.99

00:41:07.180 Here is the young Miss McEnany to explain. Hey, guys, I'm Ryan. I've got to tell you about

00:41:14.000 something I am so excited to announce, a dating app for all of us conservatives. It's called The

00:41:19.840 Right Stuff, and it's launching this September. What I love most about it is that it's invite only,

00:41:25.560 so not just anyone can join. First of all, it's free to use. And for my ladies, you'll never have to

00:41:31.820 pay because we all get premium subscriptions for simply inviting a couple friends. Gentlemen,

00:41:36.780 if you want access to premium, that's on you. And by the way, those are the only two options,

00:41:42.780 ladies and gentlemen. The Right Stuff is all about getting into the right dating pool

00:41:47.660 with people who share the same values and beliefs as you. So if you're a young conservative looking

00:41:52.700 to amp up your dating life, go to joinrightstuff.com to gain early access. We need to get back to the

00:42:00.600 right way of dating. See you there. 0.96

00:42:06.280 Compared to Tinder and Grindr and all of the other ones, I'm sure this app is way better.

00:42:13.380 Actually, on the Grindr point, one of the criticisms that The Right Stuff is getting here is that they

00:42:18.200 don't have a same-sex dating option. And they're saying they're open to the possibility of a same-sex

00:42:24.400 dating option in the future, but they're not sure they're not doing it yet, which raises a whole

00:42:27.820 other question. If you've got a same-sex dating option, can you really call it a conservative

00:42:34.080 app? We're the conservative gay dating app. Maybe. It's an open question. I don't know. I mean,

00:42:40.080 that's what's being debated right now. What does it mean to have a conservative dating app? Is that

00:42:47.920 even possible? And I come down on the side of, I don't know that it is possible. Ms. McEnany,

00:42:54.960 Ryan McEnany says, we need to get back to the right way of dating. What is the right way of dating

00:43:00.920 that we keep swiping on people like they're little commodities just to be consumed? And

00:43:07.140 like they're swiping on little digital phantom images on a screen instead of talking to real

00:43:12.660 people in real life, but we do it on the right-wing app, not the left-wing app? Is that the right way

00:43:19.140 of dating? No, I think the right way of dating is not just which app are you going to swipe on.

00:43:22.820 The right way of dating is, how do you view people? Where do you meet people? Who are the

00:43:28.520 kinds of people that you marry? In the old days, you would marry, very often, your high school

00:43:33.120 sweetheart, or you'd marry people from your town or from your church. Now, that almost never happens.

00:43:40.020 In the old days, you'd marry people that you'd known since you were a teenager. Now, you marry

00:43:44.560 people maybe that you didn't meet until your 30s. I'm not judging any of that. I'm not saying that's a

00:43:50.420 terrible thing to do. We live in the world that we live in. That's how dating works now.

00:43:54.400 I know plenty of marriages that have come out of even the lib dating apps, and they are great

00:43:59.420 marriages. So I'm not mocking that. I'm not deriding it. I'm not even saying don't do it.

00:44:04.960 I'm not saying don't use Ryan McEnany's app. Ryan McEnany's app is probably a great alternative to

00:44:11.360 the liberal dating apps that exist today. But her point is even more important. She's saying we need

00:44:16.500 to get back to the right way of dating. And ultimately, the right way of dating is not

00:44:20.300 going to be swiping on people like they're commodities. That might be an improvement 1.00

00:44:27.140 over Tinder or Grindr or whatever, but that's not ultimate. We got to follow it to its logical

00:44:32.500 conclusion. The conservative perspective cannot be, let's do what the liberals want to do, but just

00:44:39.440 slightly a little bit better or more efficient or a little bit less crazy. The conservative way of

00:44:45.220 life cannot just be, let's do what the liberals did six months ago, not even five years ago.

00:44:50.420 We're talking about dating apps. We're saying six months ago. No, the conservative point of view

00:44:55.180 has to be different. It's got to be a choice, not just an echo of the libs. Speaking of intimacy,

00:45:03.160 this story, I was almost hoping I wouldn't, I was almost hoping I'd run out of time before getting

00:45:08.980 to this story. I have to get to it. I have to, but it's so gross. It's so, I'll just say it.

00:45:17.140 There's a medical report out now, headline, evidence of human to dog transmission of monkeypox.

00:45:27.480 Now, you don't need to be a scientist or an epidemiologist to know how monkeypox spreads.

00:45:38.280 Well, I guess if you're watching the mainstream news, even the allegedly right-wing cable news

00:45:42.860 channels, you might not know how monkeypox spreads. Monkeypox pretty much only spreads

00:45:49.120 at gay orgies and from people who go to gay orgies. About 98% of the spread is from that. 0.98

00:46:00.320 And now a human has given monkeypox to a dog.

00:46:08.460 So I don't, we don't do a weather report on this show. And I know there's been a heat wave. I would

00:46:13.700 look out in the sky for fire and brimstone. I would just recommend on your drive home,

00:46:18.440 just like you might look out in the winter for hail. I would, I would say it's much more urgent

00:46:23.380 right now to look out for fire and brimstone because this, this stuff makes Sodom and Gomorrah

00:46:29.560 look like child's play. You know how the dogs got it. Okay. I know. And you're going to hear all of

00:46:35.460 these apologists for lib decadence say, no, maybe they probably just got it, you know, from a soda can

00:46:41.140 or something. No, they didn't. Okay. We know how the dogs got the monkeypox. The question we have to ask is

00:46:46.340 why is this wrong? Guys shut up to their animals. Okay. That's what happened. All right. I don't 0.94

00:46:54.360 need, you don't need, you don't need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. We

00:46:58.760 know how these dogs got monkeypox. My question is, why is it wrong? We all know it's wrong. We all

00:47:02.140 know it's gross. Why is it wrong? The conservatives can answer it's wrong because it's intrinsically

00:47:07.300 wrong because that's not what human sexuality is for. That's not what the body is for because 0.99

00:47:11.240 there's an objective moral order and that ain't part of it. But if you're a lib and you don't

00:47:16.400 believe in any of that stuff and you don't believe in right or wrong, you just think, hey man, you do

00:47:19.540 you, you know, just don't bother me, you know, just leave me alone, man. Why is that wrong? You might

00:47:25.160 say what the libs are going to say is, well, the animals can't consent. Yeah, we eat them. We kill and

00:47:32.220 eat animals all the time. So we don't get their consent for that. I don't think they would consent to

00:47:38.700 us killing and eating them. So, okay, we don't care about their consent. So why is that wrong? 0.96

00:47:45.860 The liberals cannot answer unless you're the most extreme sort of vegan of all. But it raises other

00:47:53.140 questions even about the way that we, that we care for animals, the way that we control animals. So

00:47:58.460 we don't care about animals' consent. Sure, animals can't give consent, period. So why is that wrong?

00:48:04.700 And if it is wrong because of all the reasons the conservatives say, the objective moral order

00:48:10.280 because the human body has a purpose, because our sexuality especially has a purpose, what

00:48:15.260 implications does that have for the rest of our dating life? Getting back to the right way of

00:48:19.220 dating, what implications does that have there? You know, the rest of the show is continuing now.

00:48:23.540 Now, I have got a story that I'm very, very excited to get to, but it's not for the hoi polloi. It's

00:48:31.280 not for all of you out there, you cheapskates who don't want to join the Daily Wire. If you do not
