Ep. 1074 - Can We Finally Say The Masks Never Worked？
Summary
It appears people will no longer be ostracized from the public square for questioning the epidemiological efficacy of those stupid, cloth hankies that Dr. Fauci made us wear for two years. Google appears to have dropped its ban on mask commentary.

Breaking news, major science update from big tech.
00:00:41.660
It appears people will no longer be ostracized from the public square
00:00:45.840
for questioning the epidemiological efficacy of those stupid cloth hankies that Dr. Fauci made us wear for two years.
00:00:54.320
YouTube has apparently updated its COVID misinformation policy.
00:00:59.760
For most of the epidemic, this would be after Fauci told us the masks work,
00:01:08.960
YouTube and other big tech platforms suspended and deplatformed people for even questioning the masks.
00:01:16.460
I had episodes of this show taken down because they were in violation of YouTube's COVID misinformation policy.
00:01:25.480
Of course, I still made fun of the masks, but I had to do it in an indirect way.
00:01:30.380
And importantly, in an extremely expensive way when the episodes of my expensive show were taken offline.
00:01:37.760
Now, just one day after Dr. Fauci announced his accelerated retirement before Republicans retake the Congress,
00:01:46.840
now, all of a sudden, it appears Google has dropped its rules on mask commentary.
00:01:53.420
Kind of coincidental timing, but whatever the reason, let me just take this opportunity to say,
00:01:59.200
The masks were always dumb, and they didn't do jack diddly to stop COVID.
00:02:05.140
And the only thing they ever accomplished was to make us all breathe stale air and look like lemmings,
00:02:11.440
which our sadistic and corrupt overlords took great pleasure in.
00:02:20.080
Now that that's out of the way, we have to ask.
00:02:22.000
If making fun of the masks no longer constitutes scientific misinformation,
00:02:27.620
then how did it ever constitute scientific misinformation?
00:02:38.480
Even COVID, with all the variants, has not really changed all that much.
00:02:46.280
then who's to say they aren't getting it wrong now?
00:02:48.660
And if all of this has more to do with politics than with science or with medicine or with public health,
00:02:55.860
then why were a handful of big tech oligarchs able to set the rules
00:02:59.760
for what can and cannot be debated in the public square?
00:03:03.520
I'm glad that YouTube has decided to let us tell the truth about the masks again.
00:03:08.480
But the real problem is that YouTube gets to decide in the first place.
00:03:21.920
My favorite comment yesterday is from Drania Shale,
00:03:25.780
Damn, Fauci is even wrong about when he's leaving his position.
00:03:34.140
He makes a prediction about when he's going to leave.
00:03:36.180
I'm going to leave somewhere right around the end of Joe Biden's term.
00:03:46.960
We got to protect ourselves from bad technocrats.
00:03:52.060
We got to protect ourselves from freeze, fire, flood, and the bad guys.
00:04:04.980
I was away because I was in the hospital for a few days
00:04:17.260
You can see and speak to whoever is at your door,
00:04:28.160
with available professional monitoring when you subscribe.
00:04:36.060
They have changed the home security game with Ring Alarm Pro.
00:04:47.000
They combine a security system with a fast Eero Wi-Fi 6 router
00:04:50.600
for home security and network security in one device.
00:04:56.060
Make sure you protect it this busy summer season.
00:05:08.260
Dr. Fauci can tell which way the wind is blowing.
00:05:16.660
and he might not be great on the kind of research he's funding,
00:05:21.940
and he might not be great about the efficacy of masks or vaccines or anything else.
00:05:27.620
But I'll tell you what, that guy knows which way the wind is blowing,
00:05:30.020
and he knows that the political winds are against him right now,
00:05:32.860
and he knows that if the Republicans retake the Congress,
00:05:35.280
he's going to have to at least in some way answer for his four decades of failure and incompetence,
00:05:44.240
And so Dr. Fauci is running as fast as he can out of Washington, D.C.
00:05:48.620
You are going to see a Fauci-shaped hole in the wall at NIH the second those Republicans take power.
00:05:53.580
So he's trying to get out of town, and the reason is that he knows that they're going to drag him in front of Congress,
00:05:59.100
and he's going to have to answer questions, which he says he will do, but not if he gets tough questions.
00:06:04.960
If once you've retired, Republicans want you to go testify, is that something you would do?
00:06:09.640
Sure, I certainly would consider that, but you've got to remember,
00:06:14.120
I believe oversight is a very important part of government structure,
00:06:20.780
But what has happened up to now is more of a character assassination than it is oversight.
00:06:26.100
So sure, I'd be happy to cooperate, so long as we make it something that is a dignified oversight,
00:06:31.960
which it should be, and not just bringing up ridiculous things and attacking my character.
00:06:37.700
That's not, I don't want any kind of oversight that has them talking about my career and my record
00:06:45.040
and all the mistakes I've made and all the lies I've told and all of the corruption I've engaged in.
00:06:57.100
So if, for instance, the questions are, hey, Dr. Fauci, why are you so handsome?
00:07:13.180
But if they're going to ask me about my failure on AIDS and my inability to make a new anthrax vaccine
00:07:20.020
after I squandered gazillions of dollars from the federal government for it,
00:07:24.040
and after my funding of gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology,
00:07:28.500
and after my lying about the whole pandemic the entire time, that would be very undignified.
00:07:38.480
He says the only way he'll testify is if he gets softballs.
00:07:41.820
Especially after the show trials of the January 6th committee and all the rest of this Democrat
00:07:48.600
attack on conservatives, after the show trial of Steve Bannon, after all the rest of it.
00:07:54.600
I want them to subpoena Fauci, and then if he's smart, he'll just show up and put on the same
00:08:01.200
kind of soft shoe that he's done for the past two years, and he'll probably get away with it.
00:08:04.760
But if he doesn't show up, though, I want them to hold him in contempt of Congress.
00:08:12.920
Because even if Fauci realizes, okay, I've got to pull back a little bit here.
00:08:18.560
He's actually said elsewhere the reason that he's going to retire is because he thinks that
00:08:24.500
it will make it a little bit less likely that the Republicans in Congress go after him.
00:08:32.020
He's, I'm retiring, but I'm not really retiring.
00:08:33.660
And I just, I think if I'm out of the spotlight, the odds that they go after me, it's much lower.
00:08:42.500
The technocrats around the world, at the United Nations, at the World Health Organization,
00:08:53.800
If anything, they are feeling empowered to take even more control and even more sovereignty away from us.
00:09:01.580
The head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebrezius.
00:09:14.080
The pandemic has demonstrated not only why the world needs the World Health Organization,
00:09:19.580
but why the world needs a stronger, empowered, and sustainably financed World Health Organization.
00:09:25.280
I thank all member states for the historic commitment you made to gradually increase assessed contributions to 50%.
00:09:37.180
The World Health Organization is in large part the reason why the COVID pandemic was so bad.
00:09:43.540
Because the World Health Organization covered up for China during the first several months of the pandemic.
00:09:49.780
And the World Health Organization not only carried water on the danger that the virus in China posed to the rest of the world.
00:09:55.960
The World Health Organization carried water for China on how the virus began in the first place.
00:10:01.880
Flew cover for China when they made up the ridiculous story about the bats and the pangolins at the Wuhan wet market.
00:10:07.340
Instead of where the virus almost certainly came out of, which was the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:10:12.960
Virology, which was funded in part by Dr. Fauci and the NIH in the United States.
00:10:19.420
Tedros and the whole WHO made the pandemic worse.
00:10:23.720
This is why Donald Trump and lots of Republicans said we need to decrease our funding for the World Health Organization.
00:10:29.760
These guys, not only are they not improving the public health, not only are they taking away our rights and our liberties,
00:10:34.500
they're actually making the whole situation far worse than even when it started.
00:10:41.960
So the libs cause a problem or they exacerbate a problem and then they take that problem as evidence that they need more power.
00:10:52.220
They, the people who caused and exacerbated the problem in the first place.
00:10:57.060
The problems really, really bad give us more power.
00:11:00.960
You especially see this, the clearest example would be with welfare, with certain welfare programs that create cycles of dependency.
00:11:07.780
The libs will take a bunch of power and then wield that power within welfare, giving out lots of money, often in trapping people, not in a social safety net, but in a spider web.
00:11:17.200
And then as the problem gets worse, they use that as an excuse to say, see, this is why you need to give us a lot more money so that we can expand the programs that are trapping people in the cycles of poverty in the first place.
00:11:29.860
The libs take a lot of power in the education system.
00:11:44.140
It was the fact that you took all the power in education that caused the education crisis in the first place.
00:11:50.660
And there is a video out right now from a YouTuber, James Klug, which makes you tremble and weep for America.
00:12:00.480
This guy just goes out on the street, asks really, really basic questions to a bunch of Zoomers on the street.
00:12:09.040
And the reason why this is so weird is because we have been reliably told our entire lives, if you're a young person, let's say you're under 45, you've probably been told your whole life you're the most educated generation ever.
00:12:21.720
And people are being told this more and more the younger they are.
00:12:25.060
And it turns out we actually know much, much less than virtually every generation that came before us.
00:12:31.580
It means we need to protect what assets we do have.
00:12:39.880
The Consumer Price Index has reached 40-year highs.
00:12:43.700
The latest GDP numbers confirm the U.S. is in a recession, whether the administration wants to admit that or not.
00:12:50.640
Now is not the time to have all your money in the stock market or tied to the U.S. dollar.
00:12:54.860
Take action to protect your savings from a highly turbulent economy.
00:12:58.360
Now, by diversifying at least some of your investment portfolio into gold and silver from Birch Gold Group.
00:13:10.100
Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on how to transition an IRA or eligible 401k into an IRA in precious metals.
00:13:17.700
Birch Gold will even help you hold gold in a tax-sheltered account.
00:13:20.980
For decades, investors have relied on gold and silver as a hedge against inflation.
00:13:26.300
They've got an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau, countless five-star reviews, and thousands of satisfied customers.
00:13:37.200
That is Knolls, K-N-W-L-E-S, to 989898 to claim your free no-obligation info kit on how to protect your hard-earned savings with gold.
00:13:46.840
The YouTuber, James Klug, goes face-to-face with the Zoomers, asks them really simple questions.
00:14:06.080
What ocean is on the east side of the United States?
00:14:28.060
Like, what country is the Queen of England from?
00:14:51.680
Practically speaking, I think, I think it is probably California.
00:14:57.720
Just the California vibe seems to be taking over the whole country.
00:15:06.160
Now, you might say, oh, well, he just went out and found the dumbest people he could find
00:15:16.000
There was a survey that was taken by the ISI, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, back in 2007.
00:15:25.000
And it was a study of the elite universities measuring historical and civic knowledge of incoming freshmen and graduating seniors.
00:15:32.160
The survey found that the incoming freshmen knew more than the graduating seniors,
00:15:38.180
that students were becoming more ignorant the longer they were in college.
00:15:42.840
You can, I think, extrapolate this out to the entire education system these days,
00:15:47.500
which has become just as ideologized as the universities were for so many years.
00:15:57.240
This is part of a problem that I have talked about on this show for a very long time,
00:16:05.680
that sometimes I get some pushback from the conservatives on,
00:16:11.520
we shouldn't teach students what to think, only how to think.
00:16:17.380
That's what I was told when I was coming up through school.
00:16:23.100
The liberals are teaching students, the leftists,
00:16:26.460
those leftists who indoctrinate rather than educate.
00:16:30.540
They're teaching students what to think, not how to think.
00:16:35.060
This one, I'm saying this for the people in the bleachers.
00:16:38.760
You cannot teach somebody how to think without teaching them in some way what to think.
00:16:46.820
You can't teach a student how to think about math without teaching them that two plus two equals four.
00:16:54.440
You can't teach a student how to think about America and American history without teaching them that the American Revolution begins in earnest in 1776.
00:17:12.780
You cannot teach a student how to think about ethics and morality without teaching the student that it is wrong to commit murder.
00:17:19.400
When we talk about this distinction between education and indoctrination, it's usually a meaningless distinction.
00:17:29.940
Both of the words mean essentially the same thing.
00:17:33.840
It comes from the Latin word docere, which means to teach, to lead, to educate, to lead out of your kind of ignorance into a fuller kind of education,
00:17:46.400
which comes, it's got that same root word right there.
00:17:49.400
The only difference is that we mean educate to be a good thing and indoctrinate to be a bad thing.
00:17:55.400
It's always our opponents who are indoctrinating.
00:17:59.960
We can't escape the fact that in order to educate someone properly, you've got to teach them things.
00:18:04.740
Another terrible educational movement that occurred while a lot of us were being educated or not educated was that we were told,
00:18:14.280
You don't need to memorize poems or speeches or dates or people or events.
00:18:19.940
You don't need to memorize that because you live in the future.
00:18:27.820
You just need to understand patterns, themes of history, not the actual facts or anything.
00:18:33.920
And the Libs pushed this in particular because by having students remain ignorant of what actually occurred in history,
00:18:43.500
they could just convince students that they were actually educated because they believed the highly ideological themes that we were told about history.
00:18:53.980
Oh, look, you don't need to know anything about the history of the United States.
00:18:57.820
All you need to know is the theme that we went from oppression to freedom.
00:19:07.560
You don't need to know anything about the history of Christianity or the history of the scientific revolution or anything.
00:19:15.080
All you need to know is we went from the dark, ignorant ages into the enlightened, brilliant, scientific, atheist ages.
00:19:23.140
You don't need to know anything about what actually happened.
00:19:25.620
And so is it any wonder that now kids, when they're interviewed, they don't know really basic stuff about their own country.
00:19:35.180
And when you don't know about your own country, when you don't know about your own history, you don't have any reason to preserve or conserve it.
00:19:44.900
Even if you wanted to be a conservative, you wouldn't know what to conserve.
00:19:49.660
The schools aren't teaching students very much of anything at all.
00:19:52.700
Instead, they're pushing a radical ideology, especially this trans stuff.
00:20:03.540
There's a Florida father who was just testifying before the state surgeon general.
00:20:08.440
He was describing how the school that his daughter attended secretly transed his daughter.
00:20:14.840
And this secret transing of the daughter led the daughter to try to kill herself in the school.
00:20:20.660
In January of 2022, I went to my daughter's elementary school to deal with a very sensitive incident.
00:20:29.740
My daughter attempted suicide by hanging in one of the school bathroom.
00:20:34.580
My wife and I were told by the school counselor that it happened because of an ongoing issue with her gender identity.
00:20:42.960
We were in shock because our daughter never showed any signs of questioning her biological sex.
00:20:52.040
We were told that they knew about the gender issue due to meetings they were having with our daughter behind our backs.
00:21:01.240
We learned that during these meetings, our daughter's confusion was affirmed and validated
00:21:08.300
through the use of fictitious male names and male pronouns.
00:21:12.960
Our daughter was living a double life without her consent or knowledge.
00:21:26.560
Even if you don't have kids, imagine you do have kids.
00:21:31.360
Your sweet little kid, apple of your eye, precious, you'd do anything.
00:21:35.440
You'd throw yourself in front of a bus for this kid.
00:21:38.860
You send this kid to a school that you pay for through your taxes.
00:21:42.960
And you assume that you can trust the people at the school, the teachers and the administrators.
00:21:49.120
And then the teachers and the administrators secretly fill your precious little kid's head with lies and fantasies and perverted delusions.
00:21:58.700
It would be very difficult to refrain from violence in that situation against the perverts and the psychos and the weirdos at the school who did that.
00:22:21.380
That's why Ron DeSantis has put out this mandate to the schools to say, look, no more of this.
00:22:30.220
No more of the weird race education, but especially no more of the weird sex education up through grade three.
00:22:37.120
The only problem with what's going on in Florida is it doesn't go nearly far enough.
00:22:42.680
We've got to kick this stuff out of the classrooms all the way up to grade 12, the weird transgender stuff.
00:22:49.280
And if teachers bring this up at all, fire them, maybe prosecute them.
00:22:52.820
I don't want to sound hyperbolic here, but this is an actual existential threat to society if men and women don't know the difference between the two.
00:23:05.200
It is a severe threat to the entire society if this is what's going on in the education system.
00:23:10.620
And so we have to take it very, very seriously.
00:23:13.240
Meanwhile, the Libs are crying and saying that Ron DeSantis is basically Mussolini.
00:23:19.980
That's what they're saying because he wants to limit the ability of these sickos in the guidance counselor offices and the administrative offices and the classrooms, for that matter, to trans your little daughter and your little son.
00:23:37.000
Ron DeSantis isn't even able to do all that much.
00:23:40.860
DeSantis gives out his orders and the teachers laugh and the administrators laugh and the state attorneys laugh.
00:23:45.660
And they say, yeah, we're not going to, we're, okay, the governor gave out his order.
00:23:55.480
I do because the squishes, in some ways, they bug me more than the Libs.
00:24:05.520
I'm talking about the Liz Cheney's, whose gelatinous rhino spines just absolutely morph and melt under the slightest pressure.
00:24:14.820
Well, it's that kind of behavior that you would never dream of engaging in or modeling to your son or daughter.
00:24:23.500
Right now, most of you squish this very morning.
00:24:32.600
But if you are still not shaving with a Jeremy's razor,
00:24:36.760
if you're still using a razor made by a company that said that you're toxic,
00:24:46.540
who wish that you would just disappear down a drain with your unwanted stubble.
00:25:08.700
I'm not interested in this story because I'm interested in Meghan Markle.
00:25:12.460
I'm not even interested in this story because I'm all that interested in podcasts.
00:25:18.300
I'm interested in this story because I'm really interested in politics.
00:25:22.080
And Meghan Markle's stupid new podcast tells you pretty much everything you need to know
00:25:27.460
about how political power is exercised in this country.
00:25:32.300
People should expect the real me in this and probably the me that they've never gotten to know.
00:25:36.620
Certainly not in the past few years where everything is through the lens of the media
00:25:43.300
I'm just excited to be myself and talk and be unfiltered.
00:25:54.700
I'm calling for a complete and total shutdown of new podcasts
00:26:26.720
This woman was actual royalty in the most prestigious royal family in the world.
00:26:33.340
The last really even somewhat important royal family on earth.
00:26:40.520
She was even higher than a politician in public life.
00:26:47.820
She gave up having an official role in politics to just kind of be in the media.
00:26:56.540
There was a story that came out over the weekend.
00:26:59.980
This is a story about me, actually, and some other people, too.
00:27:05.920
It was a total hit piece on conservatives who have podcasts.
00:27:09.100
It was called, Wow, Politicians Are Really Bad at Podcasting.
00:27:12.820
And none of these politicians are getting it right.
00:27:15.680
And the story was largely about me and Senator Cruz because we have the most prominent politician
00:27:25.560
That's the Verdict Podcast, which hit number one on the charts and stayed there for a long
00:27:28.780
time, and it still is pretty high up on the charts most of the time.
00:27:32.000
And this Politico guy hates the podcast, and he called me a right-wing gadfly, which I'll
00:27:38.280
I would really be worried if a Politico reporter liked my podcast.
00:27:43.040
That's how you know I'd have to hang it up and find a new job.
00:27:51.960
But even granted all of that, the very fact that this article could be written, because
00:28:01.880
It was about all of the politicians who have podcasts as well.
00:28:06.520
I think Senator Cruz and I had the first one, and then afterward, it was just this cascade
00:28:13.860
of politicians starting podcasts, sometimes with co-hosts like me, sometimes just on their
00:28:21.580
And so you had all these politicians making podcasts.
00:28:23.500
And the fact that that happened tells you a lot about our political order, which is that
00:28:31.240
politicians are starting podcasts because there is essentially no difference between an elected
00:28:40.140
politician and a media figure in terms of the actual political influence that they wield
00:28:45.540
Now, obviously, if you're in the United States Senate, you do still have certain privileges
00:28:52.080
that the bureaucracy and the deep state have not managed to take away from you.
00:29:03.120
But most of the political power of elected politicians has gone away.
00:29:08.740
Even the U.S. Senate, which should be the most important deliberative body in the world, but
00:29:14.960
certainly the U.S. House of Representatives, and certainly a lot of the state houses, and
00:29:19.280
certainly a lot of the lower elected positions.
00:29:21.840
That power has gone away to the deep state, to the bureaucracy, to the executive agencies, to
00:29:29.300
the corporations through privatization, to the schools, to all the rest of it.
00:29:35.260
Now, the difference between a media figure and a politician, not so clear these days.
00:29:43.360
In fact, the most important thing that most elected politicians do is go on TV.
00:29:48.960
Now that TV doesn't matter as much anymore, it's that they go on podcasts.
00:29:57.080
Most members of Congress are sort of glorified press secretaries.
00:30:00.740
Or now maybe a little bit more so because they host their own shows and they get the message
00:30:06.120
But in terms of the real power that they wield, it's not very much.
00:30:10.700
You compare your average member of Congress to your average career bureaucrat, the bureaucrat
00:30:19.480
To your average school administrator, that school administrator is going to have a whole lot
00:30:24.360
That's a political problem because the people still have some say with the elected representative.
00:30:31.080
We don't have any say with those unelected bureaucrats who even the president can't really
00:30:36.760
You want to talk about the difference between showbiz and politics here and the overlap?
00:30:41.420
Ron DeSantis, who I think is the greatest governor in the country right now, Ron DeSantis
00:30:45.680
just put out a political ad where he compares himself to Top Gun.
00:31:00.920
Today's training evolution, dogfighting, taking on the corporate media.
00:31:11.780
But when they fire, you fire back with overwhelming force.
00:31:26.240
So you're going to give a speech or ask a question?
00:31:32.260
I just disabused you of the narrative and you don't care about the facts.
00:31:36.280
It's why people don't trust people like you because you peddle false narratives.
00:31:44.080
As much as I love Ron DeSantis, and I really love the guy, is as much as I hate this ad.
00:32:02.120
I hate, I, whoever, whoever suggested this ad to the governor should not only be fired,
00:32:12.060
Okay, that's how bad this ad is because the ad totally cuts against the whole DeSantis ethos.
00:32:22.120
The whole DeSantis vibe is that he doesn't need to put on a soft shoe in a show
00:32:28.620
and talk himself up and make a big spectacle of himself because he's just really good at governing.
00:32:36.620
That's the whole argument for DeSantis over Trump in 2024 is that DeSantis has all the really good
00:32:51.260
But he's much more effective at wielding political power.
00:32:57.080
I'm just saying that's the argument for DeSantis over Trump.
00:33:00.360
And then DeSantis goes out and makes one of these kind of cringeworthy commercials that
00:33:09.620
The whole argument for DeSantis is he's a serious guy.
00:33:14.840
He's not one of these clown politicians that just goes up and does a little routine and a
00:33:19.680
little vaudeville number and doesn't really do anything.
00:33:26.300
And then they have him put on a clown suit and dance around.
00:33:34.960
You never, never underestimate the ability of Republican political consultants to clutch
00:33:50.540
But just he needs to be aware that he doesn't have to do this stuff.
00:34:10.260
And she gave that up to try to play Disney princesses.
00:34:19.880
And she gave that up to just be the kind of image of a public figure.
00:34:51.520
We're all pretending that we're a certain identity on social media.
00:34:56.580
I'm not even talking about media figures or politicians.
00:35:05.900
We're taking photos that are totally specially tailored.
00:35:09.880
To make it look like we're having a great time.
00:35:13.740
To make it look like our lives are really perfect.
00:35:15.980
Instead of actually working on the habitual virtuous things that make our lives very good.
00:35:44.440
They've said Liz Cheney might run for president in 2024.
00:35:49.780
Liz Cheney standing up against the Trumpists and the MAGA.
00:36:00.880
They were just discussing all the very serious commentators.
00:36:07.700
Oh boy she's going to pose a real problem for Trump.
00:36:11.080
She's going to play a real significant role in the Republican Party.
00:36:15.520
Mark what is your sense on the role that she has taken on?
00:36:24.960
But she was pretty unleashed before the election.
00:36:26.880
But I think she will be an extremely relevant figure in her party.
00:36:45.220
So that's what the genius political experts were saying.
00:37:00.240
She's not going to be relevant in the Republican Party.
00:37:05.460
So what's her support nationwide among Republicans?
00:37:11.680
Because the Democrats have gone completely insane.
00:37:13.580
Even the majority of Democrats know that they've gone completely insane.
00:37:17.620
The majority of Democrats don't want Joe Biden to run even in 2024.
00:37:23.940
And because the Democrats have pumped up Liz Cheney as this honorable, maverick, rogue voice of reason.
00:37:30.020
I could see a lot of moderate Democrats possibly pulling the lever for her in 2024.
00:37:48.920
You've got the whole stupid political establishment of experts who are geniuses who go on network TV saying one thing.
00:37:57.540
Little old me in my little old studio saying the opposite.
00:38:03.180
A news, new report from Yahoo News and YouGov shows that Liz Cheney, if she were to run for president in 2024, would not only not take down Trump, she could single-handedly swing the election to Trump by hurting the Democrats.
00:38:19.280
Democrats, this poll, and it was Yahoo and YouGov, so these are left-wing polls, they found that if there were a one-on-one rematch between Biden and Trump, today Biden would lead by four points among registered voters, 46 to 42.
00:38:35.200
Now, I don't really believe that that would happen, but that's just to show you that the poll is skewing to the left.
00:38:42.560
In a three-way race with Liz Cheney on the ballot, Trump would flip from being four points down to having an eight-point lead over Joe Biden, 40 to 32.
00:39:00.940
I bring it up to remind you, and I'm preaching to the choir here, the people that our society exalts as experts are complete idiots who don't know anything or who are intentionally misleading you.
00:39:23.840
They were wrong about Russia collusion and Ukraine's collusion.
00:39:28.360
They were wrong about, remember net neutrality repeal?
00:39:31.120
All the experts said that if we repealed net neutrality, people would die.
00:39:34.360
They're wrong about, that's just one kind of random example.
00:39:40.820
Even YouTube's, they're wrong about everything.
00:39:44.540
And so if you continue to trust them on anything, I can't help you.
00:39:50.780
And I know that even for us hardened conservatives who we don't have really any trust in the establishment anymore, but even for us, when you see the fancy people in the fancy ties on network TV, and they've got really fancy faces, you know, and they look really serious.
00:40:05.780
And they say, Liz Cheney, she's going to be a really relevant figure in her party.
00:40:09.920
Oh, yeah, global warming is going to kill us all in nine years.
00:40:15.780
The vaccine, if you take the vaccines, you'll never get COVID and you won't spread it.
00:40:21.180
It's hard to push back against that because they at least have the facade, the veneer of authority.
00:40:32.760
They don't have any real credibility, but it sort of seems like they do.
00:40:38.940
I went to my 10-year college reunion, and I got to see a lot of my friends, some of whom are former friends because they don't like my political activities in recent years.
00:40:47.960
But I would say probably a fifth of the class, we had a nice time, hung out, had a good time.
00:40:53.520
And a lot of the rest of the class, not only were they frowning at me, but they were frowning in general.
00:40:59.080
A lot of my classmates, I went to a very liberal school, and a lot of these people have gone on to have, according to the New York Times, according to the kind of elite consensus, they've had really good lives.
00:41:15.800
They did all the things they were supposed to do.
00:41:23.100
They worked in some kind of liberal company that is considered prestigious.
00:41:35.260
They went to all the restaurants that you're supposed to go to.
00:41:37.660
They only prioritized work, and they read the New York Times, and they read the Atlantic, and they just did all the stuff that the liberal establishment tells you to do,
00:41:44.580
and all the experts tell you to do, and they lock down, and they wore the masks, and they get all the shots, and they take all the advice of the libs, and they're miserable.
00:42:01.400
Feminism, which is one of the most effective political movements in American history, certainly in the last 50, 60 years.
00:42:09.520
Feminism said, we are going to make women happier.
00:42:13.080
Ever since feminism took over in the 1960s, women have become much less happy, both in relative terms to men and in absolute terms.
00:42:21.780
It doesn't give you what it promises it will give you.
00:42:36.080
I just noticed people call her a maverick, you know, and it reminds me of one last point on the stupid Ron DeSantis ad.
00:42:51.700
Maverick is the term in politics most associated with John McCain, who is the opposite kind of Republican that DeSantis is.
00:42:58.280
John McCain, not popular anymore, totally squished on the Republicans when it counted, deeply unpopular in the party.
00:43:04.580
You've got Ron DeSantis, who doesn't squish, who's a tough guy, who's conservative, who's very popular.
00:43:09.080
And this stupid ad, it's just hitting me now, is implicitly comparing him to John McCain by calling him a maverick.
00:43:15.060
What are the, ah, what are these people thinking?
00:43:22.780
Don't believe the experts, whether you're talking about the expert Washington, D.C. political consultants,
00:43:27.900
or you're talking about the experts in the lab coats at the NIH or anywhere in between.
00:43:31.120
These guys, I'm not saying experts always are idiots, but right now they are, and you shouldn't believe them.
00:43:36.760
Now, speaking of hurting Democrats, as Liz Cheney would do,
00:43:41.560
a New York City official is still crying about the fact that Texas Governor Greg Abbott
00:43:48.600
is shipping up buses of illegal aliens from Texas to New York.
00:43:54.020
Because New York says, we want more and more illegal immigration.
00:43:59.480
And so Texas says, okay, you want them, you got them.
00:44:01.480
They ship them up, and now the New Yorkers are crying.
00:44:03.960
And they're saying, no, we don't actually want them.
00:44:11.640
People are mocking New York City because Governor Abbott called their bluff,
00:44:17.920
and it became clear that the New York Democrats only want illegal immigration elsewhere,
00:44:25.220
Now the New York City officials are trying to explain that away.
00:44:29.320
They're trying to explain their reticence to take on the illegal aliens that they've encouraged
00:44:34.060
And it's because they say they didn't get any warning.
00:44:37.080
Cities in Texas have been dealing with this issue for decades.
00:44:39.980
And now New York City, Washington, D.C., dealing with the same issues right now.
00:44:43.700
I want to put something on the screen right now.
00:44:49.260
They wrote, the city's early response to the influx of migrants was marked by weeks
00:44:54.140
of flailing and missteps, deeply at odds with the give-me-your-huddled masses rhetoric
00:45:00.980
Some families slept at an intake office in the Bronx in violation of the law.
00:45:07.180
And advocates said the city often failed to provide basics like food, diapers, and medical
00:45:13.820
This is supposed to be the greatest city in the world.
00:45:17.660
Again, Governor Avid did not give us any warning that he would be sending people to New York
00:45:24.880
And as nonprofits like Catholic Charities have indicated, they started to receive people
00:45:31.820
And it's a situation that we are all trying to adjust and meet the moment.
00:45:39.340
No, we would have really been happy with all the illegal aliens being shipped up here from
00:45:50.060
Are you telling me that illegal immigration is some new issue in America?
00:45:54.400
America, this hasn't been going on for 50 years now, increasingly.
00:46:05.480
That's why you call yourself a sanctuary state.
00:46:10.080
You just didn't think, you didn't think that the governors would call your bluff.
00:46:16.580
You, what happened here is you didn't believe when you, you thought that you could just talk,
00:46:31.180
And you didn't think that any Republican would actually wield political power to call
00:46:35.520
Because you thought that Republicans are all gelded little gimps who just exist to lose
00:46:43.120
And they, maybe they occasionally talk a good game, but they don't actually wield power.
00:46:46.580
And then Greg Abbott, who's not even the most right-wing conservative, Greg Abbott wielded
00:46:51.140
power in just a little bit, little bitty way, and you're losing your minds.
00:46:54.820
That's a good message for all the rest of the Republicans.
00:47:00.940
I mentioned on the show the other day that the majority of Americans believe that illegal
00:47:07.780
And the libs say this is racist, horrible rhetoric.
00:47:10.000
Poll comes out by Ipsos, shows that 47% of Hispanics agree that illegal immigration across
00:47:19.760
Almost half of the Hispanics in this country, I don't think they're racist against Hispanics.
00:47:23.920
They're saying the same thing because it's true.
00:47:26.840
Republicans just need to wield a little bit of that power.
00:47:31.320
Now, we've got a lot more coming up in the member block.
00:47:35.280
Our producers have found a viral clip on TikTok of what they tell me is the most intense pronoun
00:47:46.920
This is going to clear up all the pronoun transgender controversy.
