Summary

Venezuelan migrants arrive on Martha's Vineyard, and the liberal coastal elites rush them off to a military base. Is this a humanitarian crisis? Or is this a political masterstroke by the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 They enriched us. That's the headline. That's the CNN headline quoting a Martha's Vineyard resident
00:00:07.200 about the 50 illegal aliens who made it to the vineyard after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
00:00:13.540 gave them free airline tickets to the allegedly pro-migrant, pro-open borders, liberal enclave.
00:00:21.740 They enriched us. But I'm having a little bit of a hard time believing that.
00:00:27.300 If the migrants enriched Martha's Vineyard, how come Martha's Vineyard residents made sure to round
00:00:35.000 them all up and ship them off to a military base within 44 hours of their arrival? If the illegal
00:00:40.980 aliens brought such benefit to the vineyard, why not let them stay and keep enriching the community
00:00:47.100 for months and even years to come? I strongly suspect that the Venezuelans who made it to
00:00:53.820 Martha's Vineyard would much rather eat lobster rolls by the water than languish in a military
00:00:59.320 camp at Joint Base Cape Cod, which is where the supposedly inclusive liberals sent them.
00:01:05.620 The liberals contend that the Venezuelans could not stay because, you see, everyone has left
00:01:11.640 Martha's Vineyard for the season. Now, that's obviously not true because there seem to be
00:01:16.840 plenty of residents around in the vineyard to push the migrants onto the buses to get them away from
00:01:21.700 their precious real estate. But even if it were true, all the better. Then there would be plenty
00:01:28.100 of beautiful, spacious, comfortable mansions to house all of the immigrants in houses that are
00:01:34.300 supposedly currently sitting empty. Either way, Martha's Vineyard in September seems like an ideal
00:01:41.240 place to host this very small number of migrants. This fraction of an iota of a drop in the bucket,
00:01:48.820 one one hundredth of the number of illegal aliens who cross our southern border every single day.
00:01:56.180 One one hundredth. Unfortunately, the Martha's Vineyard liberals felt otherwise. After just under two days
00:02:04.200 of terror, the coastal elites have rid their community of its inconvenient Latinos. And now the
00:02:11.380 libs can return to their posture of loving all immigrants from a distance. I'm Michael Knowles.
00:02:18.160 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:26.620 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment on Friday is from Tin Weasel, who says, Democrats,
00:02:31.660 there are millions of empty homes that can house migrants. Also Democrats. No, no, no, not these homes.
00:02:37.600 No, no, no. We're talking about suburban homes, conservative areas, red states. Don't you come
00:02:44.000 anywhere near the vineyard? Uh-uh-uh. We are gonna round you guys up and ship you off to a military
00:02:49.280 camp within two days. Mark my words. So say the libs. The long Martha's Vineyard nightmare is over.
00:02:58.100 The liberals can rest easy again. It was a humanitarian crisis. That's what they were saying.
00:03:04.160 I'm not making this up. A Martha's Vineyard tourism account. VisitMV had tweeted out when the handful of
00:03:15.040 migrants arrived, quote, to our island community. Here is an update on current humanitarian crisis
00:03:21.880 on Martha's Vineyard. We thank people for their continued help. Big press release. Here's how we're
00:03:26.540 doing. What's the crisis? The crisis is 50 people. 50 people is a tour group. 50 people is an extended
00:03:32.580 family. 50 people is nothing compared to not just the United States, not just the illegal immigration
00:03:42.240 problem. It's nothing in Martha's Vineyard. You wouldn't even notice these people. The residents
00:03:46.520 would have noticed them. They don't need all these Venezuelans traipsing around. It's not,
00:03:50.920 that's gonna, there goes the neighborhood. That's gonna bring down those real estate prices.
00:03:54.920 And so they go into absolute overdrive mode. And it was a political masterstroke by Ron DeSantis
00:04:01.720 because everything happened exactly as you would think. The liberals completely gave away the game.
00:04:09.560 They say 5,000 immigrants into Texas and Arizona and the border states. 5,000 immigrants a day.
00:04:15.180 It doesn't matter. Who cares? 2 million illegal immigrants a year. It's no big deal. Suck it up.
00:04:18.920 Stop complaining. These are wonderful people. These are future undocumented Americans. Oh no.
00:04:24.120 Oh no. There's one in my neighborhood. Get out the guns. Get out. Call in the National Guard.
00:04:28.920 No, we can't. Oh my gosh. They, hold on. Is that a, is that a day worker? No, no. They're just here
00:04:35.400 to stay. Get them out of here. Get them out. Give me a bus. Ship them off to Gitmo. Just get them out of
00:04:41.200 my, get them out of my neighborhood. And so they hurry them out. I mean, not even two days were these
00:04:47.440 people allowed to stay in Martha's Vineyard before they were shipped off to an actual military camp.
00:04:53.240 And now, now that the crisis is over, the humanitarian crisis, they're all standing
00:04:57.200 around. They go, I'm, I mean, yeah, I, and I sure love those immigrants.
00:05:04.740 Whew. Yeah, no, I really love the immigrants. They, they enriched us. Yeah. Yeah. The rest of the
00:05:10.980 headline, migrants, 44 hour visit leaves indelible mark on Martha's Vineyard. Yeah. It leaves raised
00:05:17.500 blood pressure. At least leaves pools of sweat where these, these liberal residents were standing.
00:05:24.120 What an indelible mark. No, it's not an indelible mark. An indelible mark would be if the immigrants
00:05:32.420 had been allowed to stay. Had, had the wealthy Martha's Vineyard residents, all liberals said, hey,
00:05:39.940 a handful of Venezuelans, you're allowed to stay here. And then they could have stayed and remained
00:05:45.380 in a community. And maybe they could have talked to one another. Maybe they would have gone to the
00:05:48.700 same restaurants and gone to the same churches. Not that the libs on Martha's Vineyard go to church,
00:05:53.180 but they would have gone to the same community places. Maybe gone to the beach together.
00:05:57.060 That would have been an indelible mark because they would have brought those people into their
00:05:59.820 communities. But that's not, that's not what the libs want from immigration. I think that the libs,
00:06:05.320 some of the libs sincerely like the idea at least of immigration, but they like it because then they
00:06:12.180 can go to the fun little Mexican restaurant once a month. Ooh, gosh, what would America be without
00:06:18.400 those fun, tasty little tacos? Hi, hi, Consuela. Oh, nice to see you too. All right. See you next
00:06:23.820 month. Bye-bye. They like, that's what they like about immigration. They like the idea of immigration
00:06:29.040 because they get a little flavor. You know, it's like going on a vacation. They like to,
00:06:33.120 they like to be able to go try something exotic for a few days and then come home and not have
00:06:37.820 to deal with anything else. They like to go to the fun for an exotic restaurant and then,
00:06:42.660 then come home and not have to deal with anything else. That's not community. Community is when you
00:06:47.340 bring people in and you stay with people in perpetuity and you make them part of your daily
00:06:53.520 lives and you bring them into your schools and you bring them into, you have dinner with them
00:06:57.820 and you spend time with them and you speak to them. That's not what the Martha's Vineyard people want
00:07:02.880 from immigration. That's not what the Libs want from immigration. The Libs want to flood the country
00:07:08.120 with immigrants at the cynical level because it gives them a major electoral advantage.
00:07:13.380 But even at the idealistic level, because it seems really nice and welcoming and inclusive,
00:07:17.640 they just don't want to include them. They want someone else to include them.
00:07:21.660 They want to get all the credit for feeling really nice and welcoming and give me your poor
00:07:25.720 huddled masses at the poem at Ellis Island. But they don't want the poor huddled masses.
00:07:32.460 The poor huddled masses don't get to come to Martha's Vineyard. They go to your town,
00:07:37.820 coincidentally, where they'll give Democrats the biggest political advantage and where the
00:07:42.640 immigration will bring crime and will bring drugs and will bring rape and will bring murders and
00:07:49.040 will bring all the sort of things that Donald Trump got in trouble for saying it will bring.
00:07:52.040 That will happen. Do you know why that will happen? It's not because the Venezuelans are just a sort of
00:07:57.380 genetically criminal people. It's because the only way to illegally immigrate to the United States
00:08:01.880 is to pay off the cartels, to pay off some of the most vicious criminal organizations in the world.
00:08:07.460 And then when they arrive here in the United States, they're all in debt to the cartels.
00:08:10.720 And you know how they pay that debt off? They pay that debt off by running drugs,
00:08:14.300 by prostitution, by all sorts of organized crime.
00:08:17.640 It is not possible to tolerate illegal immigration without simultaneously encouraging more organized
00:08:25.460 crime. And they sure don't want that in Martha's Vineyard. Okay, they want that in Del Rio and they
00:08:30.340 want that in El Paso and they want that in your town, not in their town. They enriched us.
00:08:36.200 Do you know what they really think? Do you know what the liberals actually believe about all of this
00:08:39.900 when you get them into a private room and they don't need to be pretending and they don't need to be
00:08:44.940 trying to signal their virtue to everybody? This is what they believe. They accidentally put it in
00:08:49.300 an NBC News article and then accidentally tweeted it out. NBC News right here, official account.
00:08:55.760 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sending asylum seekers to Martha's Vineyard is like, quote,
00:08:59.800 me taking my trash out and just driving to different areas where I live and just throwing my trash there.
00:09:06.060 A founding member of a foundation which helps refugees says. And then they tag NBC Latino.
00:09:12.460 They are literally comparing the immigrants to trash. That's how they view them. And that's not
00:09:18.700 just how accidentally some NBC reporter views them. That's how the residents of Martha's Vineyard view
00:09:23.100 them. The residents of Martha's Vineyard hauled these immigrants out of their town much faster than
00:09:29.740 they would haul their trash out the night before the truck comes. And for exactly the same reason,
00:09:34.940 they view these people as human trash. They don't want any part of them.
00:09:39.540 For the cameras, they'll maybe give them a little hug, probably like one of those weird,
00:09:44.080 awkward hugs, you know, kind of where you don't even lean in that much, but you kind of pat them
00:09:48.040 on the back and they say, okay, get on that bus. Bye-bye. See you later. That's how they actually
00:09:53.660 view them. And then we're the bad guys because we say, hey, let's not encourage millions of illegal
00:09:58.280 aliens every year. Hey, maybe a nation needs borders and maybe the citizens of a nation have their right
00:10:04.780 to determine who gets to come in and stay. No, we're the bad, evil, awful guys. Meanwhile,
00:10:08.920 they think of the immigrants as trash. Obviously, it's hypocrisy. Obviously, it's a double standard.
00:10:13.580 None of that matters. None of it matters. Well, imagine if the shoe were on the other foot.
00:10:18.560 Imagine the double standard. Yeah, of course, that's true. The takeaway here is not to try to
00:10:23.020 persuade the liberals that they're hypocrites. They know it. The Martha's Vineyard people know that
00:10:26.620 they're hypocrites deep down, okay? The point here, the takeaway is do not let them guilt you.
00:10:32.020 Do not let them lay it on thick and make some completely disingenuous moral argument about
00:10:36.960 immigration. They don't believe any of it themselves. They're just tricking you. They're
00:10:40.960 just tricking you to harm yourself politically and to tolerate an actual unjust action, which is
00:10:47.660 illegal immigration, because it advances their political agenda. Don't buy it. Just throw that
00:10:52.580 out the window, okay? Because if we destroy all of our borders, if we get rid of everything that
00:10:56.920 distinguishes us as a country, the country is going to die. You're going to die someday too,

00:12:13.560 Ron DeSantis especially, Greg Abbott as well. They are getting the credit for this strategy of
00:12:20.400 busing and flying the illegal immigrants to the blue cities. Though, I gotta give credit where credit
00:12:26.680 is due, and it happens to be to a buddy of mine with whom I host a podcast, Ted Cruz. Maybe it's to
00:12:34.600 his political benefit that the media aren't blaming him for this, but this actually was Ted Cruz's idea.
00:12:39.060 He's been talking about it on our verdict show for months now. And he actually introduced legislation
00:12:44.120 to make this happen as a matter of federal law. So a while ago, this was last year,
00:12:51.880 Ted Cruz introduced what he called the Stop the Surge Act. And the Stop the Surge Act would force
00:12:59.460 Joe Biden to open 13 new ports of entry for immigrants. And so it wouldn't just be right along
00:13:07.120 that southern border and all those little border towns. The new ports of entry would include
00:13:11.800 Block Island, Rhode Island, Greenwich, Connecticut, Martha's Vineyard, Cambridge, Massachusetts, where
00:13:17.400 Harvard is, Governors Island, New York, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, that's where Joe Biden is from,
00:13:21.980 Nantucket, Newport, Scarsdale, New York, Palo Alto, California, with all the techno libs,
00:13:27.980 Yontville, California, St. Helena, California, and North Hero, Vermont, which is where Bernie Sanders
00:13:34.180 is from. So this was his idea. Cruz tweeted out in response to this wonderful new campaign.
00:13:41.980 He said, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, next. Tagged Greg Abbott, tagged Ron DeSantis. Same thing with
00:13:47.280 Palo Alto, same thing with Nantucket. It's a great idea. It's a great idea. The reason is this.
00:13:54.440 One, I don't think it's particularly unjust to the migrants. I think giving migrants a free ticket to
00:14:00.680 the nicest, a voluntary free ticket to the nicest communities in America, the most beautiful
00:14:07.020 geography in these lovely coastal towns. I think that's actually kind of a nice thing. I would much
00:14:12.740 rather, if I were a Venezuelan migrant who just traipsed all the way up through Central America,
00:14:19.100 crossed over the Rio Grande, I would much rather chill on Martha's Vineyard than in El Paso or Del
00:14:24.900 Rio. And so I don't think it's particularly unjust to the migrants. Also, the migrants are committing
00:14:30.800 a crime and they should be arrested and deported, but maybe they get a lobster roll in the meantime.
00:14:34.920 And two, you need leverage in politics. This is the lesson of this whole stunt. You need leverage in
00:14:46.140 politics. You can complain until you're blue in the face about how the border states have to deal
00:14:51.760 with illegal immigration and the liberals are encouraging a problem they don't have to face.
00:14:56.040 And you know what the liberals are going to say? Okay. Yeah, right. Totally. But it's wrong and it's
00:15:02.040 in violation of our laws and you can't do this. Yeah, they can do this. They don't care. The liberals
00:15:07.800 in Martha's Vineyard or Palo Alto or any of the other places could not possibly care less about the
00:15:14.440 illegal immigration problem. It helps them, if anything, and there's no downside to them continuing
00:15:18.700 to support it. Unless we start sending plane fulls and bus loads full of these immigrants
00:15:24.180 to their towns, then all of a sudden it becomes a political problem. This should not be just one
00:15:30.620 stunt. Okay, this needs to continue. Forget about 50 a day. That was the shot across the bow. The 50
00:15:37.020 to just show up and make a point, that's great. And we did make the point and we showed the libs
00:15:42.180 for the absolute hypocrites that they are. But now it's got to be a strategy. You've got to not
00:15:49.080 just freak out a small enclave of beachgoing bazillionaires. Okay, you've got to make this
00:15:54.980 a political problem for Democrats. It is an affirmatively good thing to ship these migrants
00:16:01.780 up to these liberal towns. One, because the border cities and towns should not have to shoulder this
00:16:08.140 themselves. Two, I actually think it's sort of, at least on the margins, nicer for the immigrants
00:16:15.900 to go through this experience. But three, it's the only way to show Americans, not just the liberal
00:16:23.400 politicians, but their liberal constituents, what the problem actually is to impel them to action,
00:16:28.640 to shut down the border. Okay, to stop this mass migration problem, which is horrible for everybody.
00:16:35.700 Okay, got to keep it up. You can tell the politicians are getting freaked out. Muriel Bowser,
00:16:40.900 the mayor of DC, who initially, all of them, they said, oh, this is wonderful. We're a sanctuary city.
00:16:45.720 We're glad, actually, we're glad you're sending us migrants. Yep, that's the right thing to do. And
00:16:49.500 then like seven migrants show up. They say, it's too much. We don't have the resources. And now she's
00:16:53.520 going out, she's saying, you've got to stop this, Governor DeSantis and Governor Abbott,
00:16:57.160 because DC is not, we're not a border city. We're not a border town. We don't have an infrastructure
00:17:04.460 to handle this type of level of immigration to our city. But we will create a new normal here
00:17:13.360 in our infrastructure and have a humane welcome for people and an efficient service provision.
00:17:20.500 But we don't have the ability. We're not Texas. Yeah, you are now, though, is the thing.
00:17:27.260 Well, we're not a border town. Yeah, now you are. But we don't have the infrastructure. Better build
00:17:31.800 it. You better build it pretty quick. This is not like it's a new problem. The illegal immigration
00:17:35.860 problems have been going on for 50 years since the Democrats started it, since the Democrats
00:17:39.820 intentionally opened up our border to flood the country with illegal aliens half a century ago,
00:17:45.360 more than half a century ago. So yeah, you should have probably started to build that infrastructure
00:17:52.160 a little earlier. You just thought you'd never have to deal with the consequences of your own
00:17:55.320 actions. But now you do. So you are a border town. Good. I'm glad she says she's going to build the
00:18:01.620 infrastructure. I'm glad she says she's going to ramp up the resources. I'm glad she says she's
00:18:05.100 going to welcome these people with open arms. Great. Wonderful. I mean, obviously, federal law
00:18:09.300 enforcement should deport the illegal aliens. But okay, at the level of the mayor, you're going to
00:18:14.460 welcome these people. That's great. One thing she said that's not true. She said, we're not a border
00:18:18.120 town. Yes, you are. Now you are. So is Chicago. So is New York. So is Los Angeles. So is San Francisco.
00:18:24.900 So is Palo Alto. So is Martha's Vineyard. So is Nantucket. All these places and more.
00:18:30.840 By the way, the final little cherry on top to what a brilliant political strategy this is,
00:18:37.120 the one critique is, well, look, it's just wrong to give these people airplane tickets and ship them
00:18:46.060 into the interior of the country when maybe that's not where they want to go. Maybe that they should,
00:18:51.140 you shouldn't trick them into going to parts on the inside of the country, right? What's wrong is
00:18:57.240 this extra step. These poor people, some of them come with children, some of them, a lot, most of them
00:19:03.520 don't come with children, but some of them do. It's wrong to add this extra step of travel for
00:19:07.980 these migrants, except that Joe Biden has done the exact same thing. And he hasn't done it for
00:19:13.080 just 50 people to Martha's Vineyard. He's done it consistently. Many, many of these flights,
00:19:18.580 a lot of this transportation to get the migrants from the border states when they stop being totally
00:19:23.180 politically useful there into places where they are more politically useful. So a reporter finally
00:19:27.920 asked Karine Jean-Pierre, White House press secretary, about this. Said, hold on,
00:19:31.920 Joe Biden's done exactly the same thing at a much larger scale than DeSantis did. How is this
00:19:36.640 different? You said it was essentially no different than what the federal government has done
00:19:42.380 in sending, you know, flights in the middle of the night. That's the way it's characterized it.
00:19:48.200 You know, taking migrants to various different states. Do you have a response to that?
00:19:53.840 So we are offering solutions. That's what the Biden-Harris administration has been doing since day
00:19:59.520 2021, including on the first day, putting forth a comprehensive immigration reform to deal with this
00:20:06.160 issue. We have given DHS record funding. We have advanced policies. What have they done?
00:20:14.900 They do these political stunts. They vote against our funding requests. They vote against policies to fix
00:20:21.020 this broken system. Stunts aren't solutions here. Stunts aren't policies. We're over here trying to
00:20:30.200 govern, trying to actually fix a system that has been broken for some time, trying to fix a system
00:20:36.340 that was decimated by the last administration. And all we're seeing from them is petty and dangerous
00:20:43.600 stunts. This is dangerous. They're putting children's lives at risk. They're putting families' lives at risk.
00:20:51.000 You keep talking about what the other guy is doing, but you did the same thing. She never addresses
00:20:58.360 the actual question, which is, hey, you guys did the same thing. So how is this different?
00:21:03.600 And her answer is, well, we're offering solutions. Yeah, you're offering the same solution they are.
00:21:08.960 You're just doing it at a much larger scale, and you're criticizing them for doing it,
00:21:11.740 and you're boasting that you did it. It reminds me of, there was a great exchange in the 2012
00:21:17.920 Republican presidential primaries when Herman Cain was running, and he had his famous 999 tax plan.
00:21:25.180 This percent, 9%, 9%, 9%. He said it's the 999 plan, and he said it was going to do all these
00:21:29.880 great things. And during the debate, the moderator said, you know, Mr. Cain, the Bloomberg analysts have
00:21:37.480 looked at your tax plan, and they found out that it would actually not achieve the things that you
00:21:42.300 want it to achieve. So what's wrong with their analysis? And his answer was, well, the problem with
00:21:47.920 analysis is that it is incorrect. I just love that answer. I'm going to use it myself. But obviously,
00:21:54.140 it is not an answer because you're not explaining what's wrong. That's what she just did. Well,
00:21:58.100 the difference is that it's totally different. You know what the difference is? You know what
00:22:03.000 the difference is? The difference is that they're Democrats and we're Republicans. And so when Democrats
00:22:10.180 and Republicans do the exact same thing, it's good for Democrats, it's bad for Republicans.
00:22:14.040 When Democrats do anything, that's good, and that's wonderful, and that's compassionate,
00:22:19.260 including deporting illegals within 44 hours and sending them to a military camp. Yeah, no,
00:22:24.260 that's wonderful. That's compassionate. That's welcoming the stranger. But when Republicans
00:22:28.100 do anything at all, that's evil. That's terrible. They're Nazis. They're fascists.
00:22:34.820 This isn't hyperbole. This is what the president of the United States is saying.
00:22:38.140 It's awful. It's a threat to our democracy. It's an insurrection. Couldn't possibly be worse.
00:22:46.100 That's the difference. Difference is not the action. Biden and DeSantis did the same thing.
00:22:51.660 The difference is who did it. And when Republicans do anything, we're Nazis. This is what CNN just said.
00:22:56.720 CNN, when covering the Ron DeSantis strategy up here, he points to the, he was interviewing someone
00:23:05.640 about a new documentary on the Holocaust, and he had to make the comparison.
00:23:10.820 We woke up to the news this morning that Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida sent two plane loads
00:23:15.820 of migrants to Martha's Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts, including kids and whatnot.
00:23:21.540 And I'm not saying this is not a one for one. This is not a parallel here in any way.
00:23:25.380 But it does address some of the same themes that are part of this documentary.
00:23:29.740 It does. When you, when you give illegal immigrants a free voluntary vacation to Martha's Vineyard,
00:23:37.680 one of the nicest places in the world, pretty much like Auschwitz, you know, it's kind of,
00:23:42.500 it's just like Hitler, you know, because you see Governor DeSantis drinks water and Hitler drank
00:23:47.920 water. So it's like, it's look, I'm not making the comparison. I'm just telling you Ron DeSantis is
00:23:52.780 Hitler, but I'm not comparing the two. It's just like everything I don't like is the Holocaust,
00:23:57.460 you know, is, but I'm not saying that, but I'm certainly strongly insinuating it.
00:24:02.560 Don't you think? Don't you think? Yeah. What about when the libs deported all of those migrants?
00:24:07.940 It was that like the Holocaust? No, that was good. No, that was good. It was, it was just,
00:24:13.440 what's the takeaway? What's the takeaway? You know what the takeaway is? It's not hypocrisy,
00:24:18.660 so much for the tolerant left. The takeaway is when these people, you invoke Nazism, fascism,
00:24:23.260 Hitler, racism, any of the, any of the isms, any, it's fake. Just ignore it. Let it go in one ear
00:24:29.200 and out the other. They don't mean it. It doesn't mean anything today anyway. Just laugh at them.
00:24:34.040 It's just like Hitler. Oh, okay. All right. It's Ronald Reagan to Jimmy Carter. There you go again.
00:24:39.520 There you go again with the Hitler talk. Now, speaking of the authority of the total state,
00:24:46.700 of the Biden capricious rule at a whim kind of total state. There is some good news I'm pleased
00:24:55.580 to announce from the White House. The pandemic after what? Two and a half, three years of 15 days
00:25:03.720 to slow the spread. The longest 15 days ever in recorded history. After all that time, the pandemic
00:25:09.480 is over. Mr. President, first Detroit auto show in three years. Yeah. Is the pandemic over?
00:25:18.860 The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID. We're still doing a lot of work on it.
00:25:25.440 It's, but the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one's wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in
00:25:30.200 pretty good shape. And so I think it's changing. And I think this is a perfect example of it.
00:25:35.300 Why is the pandemic over? The pandemic is over because Joe Biden says it is. Is the pandemic
00:25:41.420 over because anything has changed about COVID in the last week or two weeks or six months or year?
00:25:48.740 No, nothing about COVID has changed or frankly, even like two years. No, nothing has substantially
00:25:55.920 changed. The reason the pandemic is over is because Joe Biden says so. And the way that we rule now in
00:26:01.880 in the total state is that if Joe Biden tomorrow comes out and says, we've got a pandemic again,
00:26:07.540 then they would all believe it. Okay. He says, look, we're not wearing masks. Joe Biden never
00:26:12.200 wore a mask. He would occasionally put one on for the cameras, but very rarely, even when he issued his
00:26:17.460 own mask mandate, he would violate it and his family would violate it constantly because it was never
00:26:22.860 about COVID because the pandemic, such as it was, never posed anywhere near the threat that the
00:26:28.720 Libs told us it did. It was just a means of control. And the pandemic was just part and parcel
00:26:35.000 of the broader Democrat power grab. And the irony of course, is that the more power they take,
00:26:40.080 the more they ruthlessly suppress the dissent, the more they prattle on about our democracy. But we,
00:26:45.720 our current form of government, the shape of the regime is much, much closer to oligarchy than it is
00:26:51.920 to a democracy. American government has never been a democracy exactly. The word democracy does not
00:26:59.360 appear in the declaration or the constitution. When it appears in the federalist papers, it is
00:27:03.420 only invoked negatively. It's only criticized and invoked with disapproval. Okay. We have a regime
00:27:10.340 that has parts of certainly some democratic representation, especially in the early days,
00:27:15.060 and then a kind of aristocratic element to it for the aristocratic interests. And you see that
00:27:19.740 especially in the, in the Senate and a representation for the states. And then it's even got a kind of
00:27:24.440 monarchical aspect too, in the strong executive power in one man. So it's a regime that has
00:27:29.560 different elements. Okay. And over time that has changed and they took away a lot of the power of
00:27:34.580 the Senate, took away a lot of the power of the states by directly electing the senators. That changes
00:27:38.640 the nature of the regime, took away a lot of the power of the people by expanding the federal
00:27:42.660 bureaucracy. And now I think the system that we live under is, it was always kind of messy,
00:27:47.860 but I think it's just much, much closer to an oligarchy. And then the ruling class,
00:27:52.220 the democratic party, which is the kind of representative of the broader ruling class,
00:27:56.420 they now tell us that if you even consider voting for a Republican, you are a threat to
00:28:00.620 our democracy. So if you've got an ostensibly two-party system where it is completely unacceptable,
00:28:06.260 and you're being told this by the government, it's unacceptable to vote for the party out of
00:28:09.000 power, then you don't really have a two-party system. You don't really have anything even
00:28:13.220 really resembling a democracy. You've got a kind of total state. And what I mean by the total state
00:28:18.320 is that the regime ideology infects everything. Okay. It's not just that the government is over
00:28:27.860 here pushing its own views, but you can still do what you want in your churches and in your schools
00:28:32.500 and in your civic associations. That's not it. Just use the case of LGBT. The government right now is
00:28:37.400 actively forcing the LGBT ideology on all of the other ostensibly free institutions such that if
00:28:45.060 a school doesn't teach LGBT ideology, that school will be punished. That school will lose funding.
00:28:49.240 That school could be sued by the government. If employers don't embrace LGBT, they will for sure
00:28:53.540 be taken to court by the government. Even churches now, that's why they're trying to pass this federal
00:28:57.160 marriage bill. The federal marriage bill effectively would outlaw opposition to the LGBT ideology for all
00:29:03.960 non-profit groups, including churches that could lose their tax-exempt status and basically would
00:29:08.280 just destroy the church. And you see this in entertainment. If a movie doesn't toe the line
00:29:14.080 on, just to use the example of LGBT, that movie will be heavily suppressed. That movie will be,
00:29:20.440 companies will be anathema. That's what I mean by the total state. It's not just some narrow area of
00:29:26.880 public policy or this, you know, within this particular jurisdiction. No, it's the whole thing. Okay. And Joe Biden
00:29:33.440 is saying that that is, that is the democracy. The democracy is whatever he and his cronies say that
00:29:44.360 it is. You really see this with the FBI. So there's a report out now by the Washington Times. No one is
00:29:49.240 talking about this. The, speaking of Nazis earlier, Joe Biden accused of pressuring the FBI to fabricate
00:29:58.760 extremist and white supremacist cases. This is amazing. This is another example of the
00:30:02.880 Ulsterdamus phenomenon. I mentioned this on the show a week or two ago. I said, the demand for
00:30:08.360 anti-black racism is much, much higher than the supply. And so what happens is, it's not just that
00:30:16.460 we can all get along and say, oh, this is great. We don't have all these racial problems in the
00:30:20.920 country that perhaps we once did or that we would fear. No, no, no. What happens is people just
00:30:25.380 fabricate the racial incidents. And you see this on campuses all around the country. Virtually any time
00:30:30.920 there's been a racial hate incident, an anti-black racial hate incident, it's been fabricated by
00:30:36.400 black students themselves or by left-wing activists. I ran through a litany of these the other day on the
00:30:40.920 show. There's a whole list of them in my book, Speechless. So now we're seeing this proven correct,
00:30:46.920 at least according to the Washington Times. Rank and file FBI agents are accusing the Biden
00:30:51.500 administration of exaggerating the threat of white supremacists and pressuring agents
00:30:55.120 to cook up domestic terrorist cases involving racist extremists. Current and former FBI agents
00:31:01.220 told the Washington Times that the perceived white supremacist threat is overblown by the
00:31:04.720 administration. We all knew that. Here's the part that's really shocking. They said top bureau
00:31:10.200 officials are pressuring FBI agents to create domestic terrorist cases and tag people as white
00:31:16.220 supremacists to meet internal metrics. You know, at the end of the month, you got to watch,
00:31:22.480 you got to be a little bit more careful when you drive. Why? Because we know that police departments
00:31:26.300 very often have quotas to give out speeding tickets. And you'll notice this, that you're
00:31:30.360 more likely to get a speeding ticket at certain times of the month than in other times.
00:31:33.580 According to these FBI agents speaking to the Washington Times, it's the same thing with the
00:31:37.040 feds. And instead of quotas for speeding tickets, it's quotas for neo-Nazis and white supremacists
00:31:42.480 because they don't exist. The only time they exist is when David Duke goes on CNN occasionally
00:31:46.980 and they say, there it is, here's the Ku Klux Klan. But they're not real, okay? It's imaginary.
00:31:52.220 Put that away with Bigfoot and the boogeyman. And this is what the agents say. Quote,
00:32:00.500 the demand for white supremacy coming from FBI headquarters vastly outstrips the supply of
00:32:06.360 white supremacy. They must be listening to this show. The agents obviously speaking on condition
00:32:10.920 of anonymity. We have more people assigned to investigate white supremacists than we can actually
00:32:15.360 find. Of course. And that's why you see so many FBI hoaxes and so much entrapment and so much
00:32:20.820 egging on of people to try to commit some kind of even vaguely white flavored crimes.
00:32:28.820 You saw it in Michigan with the Gretchen Whitmer plot. You see it all around the country.
00:32:34.480 They're going to keep doing this. And why do I believe the report? Yes, it's anonymous reporting.
00:32:40.160 I mean, I trust the Washington Times, but why do I believe it? Because we know that the FBI has been
00:32:43.660 so politicized over the years. We know, we just saw, first of all, we know the FBI spied on the
00:32:48.940 Trump campaign illegally. We know the FBI and the DOJ undermine the Trump administration. And we know
00:32:54.260 that the FBI just kicked down the door at Mar-a-Lago at the request of the attorney general,
00:32:58.420 Merrick Garland, at the order of the attorney general, Merrick Garland, who's a Democrat hack
00:33:03.000 political appointee by Joe Biden. You can see them talking about this. The FBI agents are
00:33:09.300 complaining about this. The FBI agents, they're saying that they're basically being used as
00:33:14.260 political tools. No question about it. No question about it at all. I really strongly encourage you
00:33:20.280 to go check out the report at the Washington Times because that is a real threat. So you think about all
00:33:27.920 of this? The country is in absolute turmoil on every single metric. Biden is failing. He's underwater,
00:33:32.960 not just in terms of his performance, but in terms of popular approval. He's underwater on everything,
00:33:37.740 including COVID. That's why he's got to say that the pandemic is over now to try to get that back in
00:33:41.320 the news. So you think it'd be a slam dunk that we could beat Joe Biden in 2024, right? But I don't
00:33:49.060 know. A lot of Republicans are cautious about this because we say, I don't know, they're probably just
00:33:53.400 going to rig it. I don't know. They're probably going to change all the election rules again to give
00:33:56.080 themselves an advantage. I don't know. They're probably going to do this. They're going to do
00:33:58.540 that. In a free and fair election, there is not a single chance that Joe Biden could win
00:34:06.220 re-election. There's no way. He would have to step down. Someone else would have to come in.
00:34:11.080 And yet now we don't know because we don't really have faith in the electoral system.
00:34:15.040 Democrats haven't had faith in the electoral system for a while, or at the very least,
00:34:18.140 they've sought to undermine it when they lose in 2000, 2016, and 2018. And then when they changed all
00:34:23.340 the rules last time, the Republicans started to say, guys, this doesn't seem very fair to me.
00:34:27.660 So what happens now? What's going to happen in 2024? Joe Biden was just asked on 60 Minutes,
00:34:32.560 are you going to run for re-election? And for the first time, he didn't give a clear answer.
00:34:38.880 Sir, are you committed to running again, or are there certain conditions that have to be right?
00:34:44.900 Look, if I were to say to you, I'm running again, all of a sudden, a whole range of things come into
00:34:49.660 play that I have requirements I have to change and move and do. In terms of election laws. In terms
00:34:54.460 of election laws. And it's much too early to make that kind of decision. I'm a great respecter of fate.
00:35:01.380 And so what I'm doing is I'm doing my job. I'm going to do that job. And within the time frame that
00:35:05.940 makes sense after this next election cycle here, going into next year, make a judgment of what to do.
00:35:12.640 You say that it's much too early to make that decision. I take it the decision has not been made in your
00:35:18.840 own head. Look, my intentions I said to begin with is that I would run again, but it's just an
00:35:25.500 intention. But is it a firm decision that I've run again? That remains to be seen.
00:35:31.360 This is the clearest evidence so far that Joe Biden will not run because he's using the election
00:35:36.660 laws as an excuse not to be clear here. But I've never heard a sitting president talk like this.
00:35:42.220 So look, I don't know, man, I'm a respecter of fate. We'll see what happens. I've got this soft
00:35:45.920 intention, but we'll see. And it's because it's just so obvious. The man can barely form an English
00:35:50.280 sentence at this point. He's such an abject failure. The party doesn't want him to run.
00:35:55.200 They want to put up a different candidate. And this is the clearest evidence yet. If you asked
00:35:58.360 me to bet today, will Joe Biden run in 2024? I would bet that he will not run in 2024. The only
00:36:03.420 reason I would hedge that bet is because there is no one to replace him. Kamala and Pete Buttigieg are
00:36:09.120 complete non-starters. They're going nowhere. Gavin Newsom maybe has a shot, but even he,
00:36:15.920 is not a very strong candidate to replace Joe Biden. And it just looks like such weakness from
00:36:20.880 the Democrats. For an incumbent to choose not to run again looks so incredibly weak that they don't
00:36:27.300 know what to do. The Democrats have all of this power, but when it comes to actually presenting
00:36:33.840 their case to the American people, they fail. And so now they're sputtering and they're contradicting
00:36:38.640 themselves. They don't know what to say. If you've been thinking to yourself, hey, it's been a while
00:36:42.540 since I've heard from Candace Owens. Have I got news for you? Candace is back from maternity leave.
00:36:46.760 She's got a brand new Daily Wire Plus show, Candace Owens. The first show, Candace. Next show,
00:36:53.060 Candace Owens. Maybe the third show, we'll use her middle name. She is fearlessly exploring topics
00:36:57.060 that the media will not touch and exposing the corruption and hypocrisy in news and politics.
00:37:01.060 Best part is it's five days a week, Monday through Friday. You will not want to miss her explosive
00:37:05.380 first episode, which premiered last week on Daily Wire Plus. Trust me when I say it is huge.
00:37:11.460 Watch Candace Owens' new show now on Daily Wire Plus or listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever
00:37:17.400 you listen to podcasts. Speaking of indecision, there is a bizarre new surgery that is sweeping
00:37:28.980 plastic surgeon offices around the country. It is not transgenderism that had been developed
00:37:35.820 really in the 60s and 70s. And then the surgeons and the doctors who developed it realized that it
00:37:41.300 wasn't actually helping anybody. So they tried to shut it down, but the cat was out of the bag.
00:37:44.820 That obviously has been around for a long time. And it's where you saw off parts of people's
00:37:48.480 forearms and legs and use it to create a kind of pale imitation of genitals and affix it to every
00:37:54.680 younger people. And it's really horrifying. It's the stuff of nightmares and it should all be illegal.
00:37:58.940 Now, somehow though, there is something even creepier. Somehow, it's that this phenomenon of you
00:38:05.460 think you've gotten to the bottom of the slippery slope and then you just slip down further.
00:38:08.580 There is a new surgery. It is called gender nullification surgery.
00:38:14.700 Colloquially referred to as the Ken doll surgery. This surgery is for patients who identify as
00:38:21.600 non-binary. The surgeries represent alternatives to the traditional transgender surgery. You know we're
00:38:29.560 far afield of anything resembling normal when transgender surgery is the traditional option
00:38:35.720 to the new crazy one, which is the non-binary surgery. So this includes sex nullification or
00:38:40.740 where you get to keep both of them. So I'm not even going to use the terms there, but basically you
00:38:48.100 just recreate, you create a new sex organ, but you keep the other sex organ and, or you just erase
00:38:55.760 your sex organs altogether. This from Mosaic Care, which offers this mutilation. Quote,
00:39:02.680 we understand that some patients will not be looking specifically for binary surgeries.
00:39:06.640 For gender diverse, expansive, non-binary patients, we offer individualized surgical options. Examples
00:39:12.980 include penile preservation. Oh, I accidentally, I guess I am saying the names. Vaginoplasty, vaginal
00:39:18.000 preservation with metoidioplasty and nullification. Guess where this center is located, by the way?
00:39:26.400 I'll give you one. It's San Francisco. Yes, obviously it's San Francisco. Do you know how many adults in
00:39:31.960 America identify as non-binary? Because I thought, okay, look, this should be illegal. Doctors take
00:39:37.520 the Hippocratic Oath first to do no harm. These quacks should be in prison or they should be in
00:39:43.180 psych wards themselves. And the poor people who want to chop off all of their genitals or to have
00:39:48.760 multiple types of genitals or whatever, these guys obviously need serious psychological treatment
00:39:53.140 and spiritual treatment as well. Okay. But how many people could it be? What, a handful?
00:39:58.800 What, a hundred people in the country? Maybe if I were to give you my craziest guess, I'd say a thousand
00:40:04.160 people. Now, according to a UCLA survey, over one million Americans identify as non-binary.
00:40:15.560 One million. That number is only going to grow because it's a social contagion. Are all of those
00:40:21.380 people going to go under the knife? Probably not. I hope not. But the more this contagion spreads,
00:40:27.160 the more people are going to do it. And what is non-binary? The easiest way I can explain what
00:40:32.840 non-binary is, is my name is Legion for we are many. Okay. The easiest way that I could explain
00:40:38.920 what non-binary is, is someone who is creating multiple personalities in their own head or who
00:40:46.500 involuntarily senses the presence of multiple personalities in their own head and who at a more
00:40:53.920 basic level rejects his own humanity. Because that's what this is. Human beings are male or
00:41:03.120 female. In the beginning, God created man, both male and female created he them. Sexual difference is at
00:41:10.240 the center of human life. It's at the center of politics. It's obviously at the center of the family.
00:41:14.520 It's at the center of the way we all live together. To deny your sex is to deny your own humanity.
00:41:24.720 And you see this in one way with certain just social behaviors. When men act like women,
00:41:32.280 when women act like men, that is a relatively modest rejection of their humanity and their own roles
00:41:41.280 in nature. When you go further and you say, I'm a man, but I identify as a woman, and maybe you
00:41:45.880 chop off parts of your body and you try to present yourself as a woman, that is a much further rejection
00:41:51.480 of your humanity. And then when you say, I reject sex altogether, I am non-binary or agender or whatever,
00:42:00.560 that is a much, much further rejection of your humanity. You're saying,
00:42:05.120 not only do I reject my actual sex, I reject the concept of sex entirely. It's at an even higher
00:42:13.180 level. So we all agree on that. I think pretty much all of us agree on the transgender thing.
00:42:20.800 But that first part that I said, that's the one that's going to raise the flags. That's what's
00:42:23.940 going to get the clip at Media Matters. That's the one that even a lot of conservatives are going to
00:42:27.800 say, whoa there, buddy, I don't know that we can, what, you're telling me men have certain roles and
00:42:31.880 obligations in society and they have to behave in a certain way? Oh, I don't know. And women
00:42:37.320 have a certain role in society and they, broadly speaking, are obligated to fulfill some of those
00:42:43.680 roles, roles that are different from the roles that men have? Yeah, yeah, you have to. If you
00:42:50.240 don't acknowledge that part, you're just going to end up at the same place. This is why all this crazy
00:42:55.560 transgender, pangender, non-gender, whatever stuff, it doesn't just go back five years. It doesn't just go
00:43:01.340 back even 10 years. It doesn't even go back 20 or 30 years to the beginning of the gay rights
00:43:04.760 movement. It goes back to feminism because feminism, gay rights, and the transgender movement all share
00:43:12.300 the same fundamental premise, namely that men and women are interchangeable. The feminist movement
00:43:19.180 says a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. The feminist movement says men and women are
00:43:23.820 basically exactly the same. They might look a little bit different, and we're going to change that
00:43:28.140 through fashion. But yes, men and women are pretty much identical. And that's just not true. Men and
00:43:32.540 women are different and complementary. And when you accept that premise, then you inevitably have
00:43:38.200 to get to not only gay rights, you have to redefine marriage. Because if men and women are interchangeable,
00:43:41.960 then of course you need to redefine marriage to say that two men in a union is the same as two women
00:43:46.220 in a union is the same as a man and a woman. And once you do that, if you're just following the
00:43:50.160 same premise, then you've got to get to transgenderism. Because if men and women are effectively the
00:43:54.060 same, then sure, have a little nip-tuck, or don't, doesn't matter. Call yourself a woman,
00:43:57.720 call yourself a man, there's no difference. So you can't undo the rot by only going halfway.
00:44:04.100 There's no splitting the baby here. You've got to rip out that whole premise,
00:44:08.340 root and branch. And that requires us, it was a point that I made just the other day on the show,
00:44:12.240 and I made it during a NatCon speech that caused some controversy.
00:44:16.820 I think we need to talk about sex and transgenderism a little bit differently, okay?
00:44:20.700 It's not just, well, a man has a Y chromosome, and women have two X chromosomes, and that's that.
00:44:27.160 A man has this body part, and a woman has this body part. No, it's not just at the level of the
00:44:30.900 body. It's at the level of the soul as well. We actually have to accept, or at least understand
00:44:36.660 what the libs are talking about when they talk about gender expression. Yeah, gender expression
00:44:40.900 is real. It's true. Men can act like girls. Girls can act like boys. You just shouldn't,
00:44:47.340 because you have duties and obligations. And to get back to the Vito Corleone,
00:44:53.260 Don Corleone, Johnny Fontaine standard of sexual difference. You're going to act like a man.
00:44:59.940 What's the matter with you? What is the matter with you? You see this now, this story is really
00:45:03.520 something else. A teacher in Canada is causing a little bit of a stir at his school because he is
00:45:12.540 showing up to class dressed up as a woman with breasts that are larger than, not only larger than
00:45:21.040 the balloons at my child's birthday party. They're probably the size of like four bowling balls each,
00:45:27.460 okay? And he has this, this was not surgically done. It would be impossible to stretch the skin
00:45:31.720 that far. There's no letter. I can't tell you it's a double D or E or F. There's no letter. It's
00:45:36.540 probably like a double X, okay? And so he shows up with this prosthetic on, dressed up like a woman,
00:45:41.400 looking like a complete crazy person, which he is. And the students rightly raised some questions
00:45:46.200 and said, hey, you know, this is kind of weird, right? And there's videos of it going around the
00:45:49.940 internet. And the guy, obviously, I don't mean to make fun of the guy. The guy's obviously completely
00:45:53.440 out of his mind and should see a psychiatrist and probably be committed. But he's now, in our insane
00:45:59.420 society, is permitted not only to kind of run around humiliating himself and acting like a madman,
00:46:05.100 but he's permitted to educate, miseducate students. And then this was brought to the school.
00:46:10.900 What did the school say? Did the school take the side of reason and normality and the students and
00:46:16.240 the parents? Or did the school take the side of sexual anarchy and this maniac teacher?
00:46:22.760 You know the answer. School said, we are aware of discussion on social media and in the media
00:46:28.500 regarding Oakville Trafalgar High School. This in a letter to parents. We would like to take this
00:46:34.200 opportunity to reiterate to our community that we are committed to establishing and maintaining a safe,
00:46:38.340 caring, inclusive, equitable, and welcoming learning and working environment for all students and staff.
00:46:44.780 We strive to promote positive learning and ensure safe environment for all students and staff and
00:46:48.400 community, regardless of race, age, ability, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation,
00:46:53.820 ethnicity, on and on and on and on and on. Religion, on and on and on and on. Now, of course,
00:46:58.780 you can't do both. You can't protect the sort of sexual maniacs, their freedom to do whatever they
00:47:04.760 want in public and the freedom of people based on their religion not to have this nonsense shoved
00:47:09.700 down their throats. What does this come down to? This isn't just, okay, we're going to pass a law
00:47:15.900 to stop this specific thing. You can only have prosthetics that go up to C cup, okay? You can't
00:47:20.540 go to double X, okay? No, obviously that's not how you're going to handle it. The problem here
00:47:25.220 is that there are protections for what's called SOGI, sexual orientation and gender identity.
00:47:32.280 As long as there are legal protections in Canada or the United States, now we have them in both
00:47:37.080 places, as long as there are legal protections where you can't discriminate on the basis of
00:47:40.780 sexual orientation and gender identity, then you can't stop this. Because someone could just say my
00:47:45.520 sexual orientation is to have like gigantic triple Z prosthetic breasts on, even though I'm a man,
00:47:51.880 and to wear high heels and stilettos in class and a wig. That's my gender identity. That's my
00:47:56.800 sexual orientation and expression. And if you dare oppose me, you awful parents and students and
00:48:03.540 people with two brain cells and a normal sense of things, if you ever oppose me, I'm going to take
00:48:08.460 you to court. And as long as you have a protection for this bizarre amorphous category, sexual orientation,
00:48:15.240 gender identity, that's what you're going to get. The only way out of this is to repeal those
00:48:19.940 protections. They're ridiculous. Those protections weren't in place until just a few years ago because
00:48:25.540 Neil Gorsuch decided to completely squish on the Supreme Court and enshrined in civil rights law
00:48:31.000 protection for SOGI, for gender expression or whatever. Well, what can be done by a robed lawyer
00:48:37.900 on the Supreme Court can be undone, especially when it's this radical. But conservatives have to go that
00:48:42.120 far. If conservatives think that they're going to solve this problem by just squishing in the middle
00:48:47.000 and saying, okay, well, you know, your miniskirt has to, listen, mister, your miniskirt has to go
00:48:51.560 down at least three inches above your knee, then we're not going to win. Well, mister, okay, you can
00:48:56.580 only, we've got to approve your prosthetic by the Bureau of Transgender Bras or something. It's not
00:49:04.320 going to work, okay? You've got to rip this out root and branch. The rest of the show is continuing
00:49:09.240 now. Today is Music Monday, all right? And so on Music Monday, the producers find a song. They want me to
00:49:14.360 give my expert analysis because, you know, I'm a big hip hopper, baby. I'm Wonder Mike. I've come
00:49:18.240 to say hello to the white, the black, the red, and the brown, the purple, and yellow. But first,
00:49:21.900 I've got to tell you to head on over to the member block. Today, we've got a song. I have not listened
00:49:27.000 to it yet. It's a song by Lizzo. And so I'm going to give you my most erudite literary and music
00:49:33.320 criticism. If you're not a member, click the link in the description and join us. We'll see you there
00:49:37.320 in just a second.
