I just twerked and played James Madison, Crystal Stephen, and it's invasion.
00:01:16.260
Thank you to the Library of Congress for preserving our history and making history freaking cool.
00:01:24.620
Lizzo twerked and played James Madison's Crystal Flute from the 1800s.
00:01:37.100
Not all historic events are good or praiseworthy.
00:01:50.540
The outfits, not my thing, but the music, somewhat catchy.
00:01:53.980
And as far as modern musical artists go, I stan her, okay?
00:02:04.320
But Lizzo should not have been given special permission to play James Madison's flute for two reasons.
00:02:14.940
She could be dignified if she wanted to be, but she is not.
00:02:17.880
And it is degrading to our nation for a lady simultaneously to twerk and jiggle and degrade herself and to play an historical artifact that belonged to the father of the Constitution.
00:02:29.620
Second, Lizzo should not have been given special permission to play the flute because the entire performance was intended as an act of hostility toward James Madison, toward the founding fathers, and toward the historical American nation.
00:02:46.000
I don't think Lizzo intended it as a hostile act, but the libs generally did.
00:02:52.480
Instead, the New York Times reported, quote, it was a symbolic moment as Lizzo, a hugely popular black singer, rapper, and songwriter, played a priceless instrument that once belonged to a founder whose Virginia plantation was built by enslaved black workers.
00:03:11.780
And the flute had been lent to her by Carla D. Hayden, the first African American and woman to lead the Library of Congress.
00:03:20.640
In other words, the performance was not to be an honor.
00:03:26.540
It was set up and seen as an act of revenge against a no-good, long-dead racist and the nation that he represents.
00:03:37.100
It was set up and reported as an act of liberation by a self-described victim of oppression.
00:03:44.320
I don't know what a music video for good means, but I do know what your vote means.
00:03:56.920
It means everything to making a change in this country.
00:03:59.860
So remember, when you're voting for your favorite artists, vote to change some of these laws that are oppressing us.
00:04:19.060
And both the men and the country deserve better than to be mocked with a twerk.
00:04:34.800
My favorite comment yesterday is from Gerardo Leon, who says,
00:04:38.640
If you or a loved one received the COVID vaccine, you may be entitled to compensation.
00:04:43.480
I know, this is going to be the commercials in 10 years, 20 years.
00:04:47.960
It's going to be the mesothelioma commercials of the 2040s.
00:04:52.440
Except that Big Pharma was able to give itself such incredible liability protections while it was peddling those COVID vaccines on us,
00:05:00.280
the totally safe and totally effective vaccines.
00:05:02.340
They got so many legal protections, they actually probably won't be held liable.
00:05:05.540
But maybe that should have been the first warning.
00:05:07.220
Hey, why is Big Pharma getting all of these special protections if people get injured by the vaccine when they tell us it's totally safe and effective?
00:05:18.720
When you want to protect your home, you've got to check out Ring.
00:05:21.360
Right now, head on over to ring.com slash Knowles.
00:05:27.880
I just got back from a trip, but I can rest easy because I can count on the protection of Ring Alarm.
00:05:35.000
You might be saying, Ring, I thought that was the video doorbell company.
00:05:40.160
You can see and speak to whoever is at your door, no matter where you are in the world.
00:05:45.280
It's the award-winning home security system with available professional monitoring when you subscribe.
00:05:50.280
Best of all, you can easily install it yourself.
00:05:56.280
They changed the home security game, and then they changed it again with Ring Alarm Pro.
00:06:00.780
So, Ring Alarm Pro allows you to protect not just your physical home, but your digital home as well.
00:06:06.800
Think about how much of your life you spend online.
00:06:10.420
Well, Ring Alarm Pro protects the doors and the windows and the physical place, but also your data, your internet, your Wi-Fi.
00:06:27.680
Speaking of women with is in their names, how's that?
00:06:33.320
I think that might be my greatest transition ever.
00:06:35.700
Speaking of women with is in their names, the climate change activist, Izzy Cook, has just accidentally on television exemplified the hypocrisy at the heart, not just of the environmentalist movement on the left, but of the left broadly.
00:06:53.540
So, we would have to apply to have, like, approved events to be able to fly for?
00:06:59.380
Well, that's one thing that you could look at doing.
00:07:05.740
In the current climate crisis, I don't think that that's necessary.
00:07:13.280
I'm not sure. Maybe a few months ago, to be honest.
00:07:45.260
This is, of course, the way to respond to all of the alarmism, all of the hysterics about how the world is going to end.
00:07:55.620
Because you can say, obviously, the libs don't believe this.
00:07:59.080
If the libs believed that getting on an airplane was going to destroy the entire world, then they wouldn't do it, or they're just stone-cold psychopaths.
00:08:09.500
They do it all the time, and so we don't need to take it seriously.
00:08:12.280
The whole Davos crew that tells us that we need to go eat bugs, and we have to stop living, and we have to live in tiny little pods, and we can't have meat, and we can't go work, and we can't travel, and we can't drive a car, and we can't do anything anymore.
00:08:25.200
That same crew, they all fly private jets halfway across the world to go on a fun ski vacation with a bunch of other elites around the world, okay?
00:08:34.640
And so we don't need to take that seriously as a matter of life or death for the world.
00:08:41.500
We do have to take it seriously as a political movement, but we need to start examining the real motivations here.
00:08:48.640
Why is it that these very wealthy, powerful, influential people want to peddle the climate change stuff?
00:09:02.560
It gives them more power, the technocracy more power, the international institutions more power, the handful of corporations that are wielding a lot of influence on those other institutions.
00:09:14.600
Why did the most powerful interests in the country push to shut down the country during COVID?
00:09:20.020
Is it really because they thought that everyone was going to die if we were closer than six feet away from one another and we took that little hanky off our face?
00:09:29.080
Because all of those people regularly would take the little hanky off and they would violate all the rules and Gavin Newsom would show up to the French laundry and these CEOs and the oligarchs and the masters of the universe would routinely, regularly violate their own COVID rules when they thought that the cameras weren't rolling.
00:09:47.280
Is it just hypocrisy or is it just a failure to live up to their standards?
00:09:51.600
No, I think there's a little bit more than that.
00:09:53.980
COVID represented the largest transfer of wealth from the lower classes to the upper classes ever in the entire history of the world.
00:10:00.820
Very often there are financial motivations and power politics motivations.
00:10:09.060
I was in this old, wonderful neighborhood I've been going to and since I was a very little kid, we would do our grocery shopping there.
00:10:15.020
And I don't know, maybe being around those Italian Americans, it gives you a little bit more of an edge and it gives you a little bit of that sense of, hold on, what's really at play here?
00:10:23.400
Is someone really trying to pull one over on us?
00:10:25.820
And so I think you've got to just laugh at it, okay?
00:10:29.100
Then you've got to examine where the real motivations are.
00:10:33.000
And then you've got to be much better armed to fight back against them.
00:10:39.500
I mean, especially with COVID, they were pushing this thing so preposterously with such determination.
00:10:47.800
Joe Biden now, as Floridians were preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Ian, Joe Biden was saying the best way to prepare for a hurricane is to go get vaccinated.
00:10:56.760
Let me be clear. If you're in a state where hurricanes often strike, like Florida or the Gulf Coast or into Texas, a vital part of preparing for hurricane season is to get vaccinated now.
00:11:12.180
Everything is more complicated if you're not vaccinated in a hurricane or a natural disaster hits.
00:11:18.160
It's much more complicated, you know, when the twister is coming and it sucks you up and it throws you into the sky and you're spinning around with cows and automobiles, you've got to make sure that you don't catch COVID.
00:11:30.200
Now, that warning from Biden was not, it's been going viral now because of the hurricane that's landing in Florida.
00:11:39.240
It was for hurricanes broadly, but it's the same broad brush that you're seeing with the whole climate change agenda.
00:11:47.580
Well, it's going to be really hot or it's going to be really cold or it's going to be really rainy or it's going to be really dry or it's going to be really whatever.
00:11:57.880
Well, you've got to give up some of your political rights.
00:11:59.840
If you want to stop climate change, what do you got to do?
00:12:01.800
You got to give up some of your national sovereignty.
00:12:06.860
You got to shut down a bunch of small businesses.
00:12:08.420
You got to give special nice handouts and privileges to coincidentally all the people in industries that happen to be buddies with the political ruling class.
00:12:16.360
I don't think so. I think that's the sort of thing that we can just laugh at, okay?
00:12:24.020
It's the sort of grandiose pie in the sky, fear-mongering and promises that we can just
00:12:29.960
sort of mock. And you're not just seeing it from Joe Biden. You're seeing it even from the
00:12:35.800
apparently, ostensibly more lucid Democrats. You're seeing it from one of the most normal
00:12:41.600
Democrats in the country, Amy Klobuchar. Those sweltering summer nights that leave

00:13:14.220
Senator Amy Klobuchar, the sometime presidential candidate for the Democrats. She didn't go very
00:13:21.380
far. She's probably gonna try to run again. It probably won't go anywhere this time either.
00:13:25.740
Amy Klobuchar, who I had some respect for because I feel she's one of the more reasonable of the Dems,
00:13:31.140
damning with faint praise perhaps. She just said that if you're concerned about hurricanes,
00:13:36.400
that is why you've got to go out and vote for Democrats.
00:13:41.180
We just did something about climate change for the first time in decades. That's why we've got
00:13:46.200
to win this as that hurricane bears down on Florida. We got to win in the midterms. We understand that.
00:13:53.720
Really distasteful stuff, by the way. People's not only property, but lives are seriously in
00:13:58.680
danger in Florida now. And they're saying, well, if you want to avoid hurricanes,
00:14:01.640
you've got to vote for Democrats. There is one man in the history of the world who can command
00:14:07.200
the weather and the weather listens. Okay, one man, and it ain't Joe Biden. It's not even Barack
00:14:13.340
Obama, even though Obama said that when he was elected, the seas would stop rising. The planet
00:14:20.420
would heal. But no, it's not Obama. There's one guy walked around the earth about 2000 years ago.
00:14:25.700
The rest of them are just pretending. But that's what they will say. It is, for the ones who are
00:14:33.440
sincere about it, it shows the level of hubris on the left. They really do believe that they can
00:14:39.240
control every single thing under the sun. And for those who are just being cynical and opportunistic,
00:14:45.680
they're making promises that they know they can never keep. They cannot control the weather.
00:14:51.400
Their predictions almost always are wrong. These are people who have demonstrated extreme
00:14:56.660
incompetence and deceit. And it's, in many ways, the silver lining of COVID is COVID was just this
00:15:04.740
very intense distillation of all the pie in the sky utopian promises that we get from the libs.
00:15:10.080
And it all turned out to be wrong or a lie. It was either accidentally wrong or intentionally wrong.
00:15:16.720
And it was a little bit of both from the libs. Either way, I think it woke a whole lot of people up.
00:15:21.400
To say, man, something is seriously, seriously wrong here. Speaking of a lack of control,
00:15:29.300
Vice Magazine just tried to air a really sort of sympathetic puff piece about the reintegration
00:15:35.540
of sex offenders back into society. And the way that this documentary ended, I think,
00:15:45.140
We all out here in this world. And we all got to make it happen. It ain't nothing stopping me. So,
00:15:57.140
After this interview, Ashif sent a picture of his penis to our producer.
00:16:00.820
Oh, man. I love you've got the platitude. I bet, knowing Vice, I bet they really did try to make
00:16:12.820
a puff piece about these poor put upon sex offenders. You know, these guys, society failed
00:16:19.160
them. If only society, if only this racist, bigoted, oppressive country, society hadn't failed
00:16:26.460
them. Then they wouldn't be rapists or whatever. And I do think they probably sincerely tried to
00:16:31.660
make that documentary. And then they film it. And it is broadly sympathetic. And then you just get
00:16:35.260
that punchline at the end. Moments after that interview. Moments after this man recited those
00:16:41.280
platitudes. We're all here, man. We've got to get together, you know, and just keep on doing it,
00:16:45.860
man, whatever. He sent a photo of his genitals to our producer.
00:16:50.340
Which reminds us that we need prudence, okay? Prudence is a virtue that I keep coming back to
00:16:58.820
again and again and again. Because the left has absolutely no respect for the virtue of prudence.
00:17:04.140
And many people on the right do not either. Sometimes, especially when I'm discussing a
00:17:10.000
political issue with the more ideological people on the right, the more dogmatic, doctrinal,
00:17:16.440
five bullet points on the back of a napkin manifesto type of people on the right, they'll
00:17:20.840
say, Michael, I want to hear the principled ideological argument for why we should ban
00:17:28.520
marijuana, but not tobacco. I'm just using an example. Or I want to hear the ideological
00:17:33.660
principled rationalist argument for why we shouldn't have gay marriage. Or Michael, I want to hear whatever.
00:17:40.160
And I say, you know, I don't need to give you, I think I could in many cases, but I don't think
00:17:48.380
that I need to be able to give you this perfect, modern, rationalistic kind of argument for my entire
00:17:57.680
political program in society. I think we can use some prudence. I remember when I was a student,
00:18:05.600
I got to meet Antonin Scalia. Someone asked him about gun control.
00:18:08.660
Is they said, you know, Justice Scalia, you support the Second Amendment, but you think there are some
00:18:13.800
limits here. And I'm not sure that the limits totally jive with the original understanding
00:18:17.880
of the Second Amendment and the Constitution. And I don't understand why some guns can be banned
00:18:21.940
and other guns are not banned. And how would you determine exactly where that line is on the limits
00:18:29.380
of the Second Amendment? And Scalia's answer has stuck with me. And I apply it to so many other issues.
00:18:35.320
He said, how would I determine where the line is on the Second Amendment? Very carefully.
00:18:44.240
And this answer infuriated the ideologues, and certainly on the left, but on the right as well.
00:18:51.780
But that's obviously the right answer. How do we determine these sorts of limits in society?
00:18:57.000
How do we determine when to show mercy to prisoners and when to insist upon a little bit more justice?
00:19:03.240
When to go lighter and let them out of prison and reintegrate them into society and say, forget the
00:19:07.380
past, and when to put some guardrails around these people? How do you do that?
00:19:11.920
Very carefully. You do it. How do we determine? Why can't Lizzo play the flute? Lizzo, if you oppose
00:19:18.260
Lizzo playing the flute, you're a racist, sexist. You would allow some other concert flautist to play
00:19:25.300
that flute? Yes, I probably would. But you won't allow Lizzo. Correct. I don't think Lizzo should play
00:19:30.320
the flute. Well, well, why? Because I look at Lizzo and she's wearing a weird little leotard thing and
00:19:38.480
she's jiggling around half naked and she's just behaving in a way that's not dignified. It's
00:19:44.500
actually obscene. Whereas the concert flautist wearing the white tie and tails is behaving in a
00:19:49.580
way that is dignified. And so if I'm talking about a national artifact from the father of the
00:19:54.300
constitution, I don't want that to be degraded by being played while a woman jiggles around on stage.
00:20:02.140
Well, but how? Define dignity, Michael. Define obscenity, Michael. No, I don't have to do that.
00:20:08.400
I don't have to do it because Justice Potter Stewart actually was correct when he said, yes,
00:20:14.140
it is a little tricky to define obscenity, but you know it when you see it.
00:20:19.840
You do. We can do that. We have the right to do that in this country, okay? Whether the libs
00:20:24.660
want to admit it or not. We have the right to use our prudence, use our wisdom of repugnance,
00:20:32.520
to use a phrase from the bioethicist Leon Kass, and just say, you know, look, I can't totally,
00:20:37.740
there was an article that came out last week. It said, why are gay same-sex,
00:20:44.080
well, I guess those are the same thing. Why are same-sex incestuous relationships wrong?
00:20:51.980
There's no possibility of procreation there, so that bioethical consideration is off the table.
00:20:58.420
So why is it wrong? You know, I could give you a pithy enough explanation, but before I even
00:21:06.940
would be tempted to do that, because it just is. Because it just is. Because we all know
00:21:13.760
deep down in our stomachs that that is repugnant. We have a prejudice against that, and that prejudice
00:21:20.340
is good. Prejudice is not always bad. Prejudice is how we all survive. You don't want to be
00:21:27.360
mean or unjust or unfair, but you certainly, we have to rely on prejudices and instinct and received
00:21:35.140
wisdom, or we wouldn't be able to do a damn thing in the world. If we had to write a fleshed out
00:21:40.820
rationalist post-enlightenment treatise for everything that we do all day long, we would
00:21:45.820
never be able to do anything at all. How do we, why do we put a lot of safeguards around sex offenders
00:21:54.040
even after they leave prison? Well, because we know that there's a real risk that they will re-offend.
00:21:59.440
Speaking of crime and punishment, you've heard about the extremist pro-lifers, the domestic
00:22:07.800
terrorists, the threats to our country that the DOJ and the FBI and the Biden administration are
00:22:13.340
warning about. Here's a story you probably haven't heard about. There's a man, a 74-year-old man,
00:22:19.500
who shot an 84-year-old pro-life woman as she was canvassing to end abortion. The pro-life lady
00:22:29.060
was not violent. She was not creating a public disturbance. She was just a sweet little old
00:22:36.520
lady trying to convince people not to kill their babies. 74-year-old lunatic pro-abortion leftist
00:22:43.180
shoots the woman. Not only is he not in prison right now, not only is he not facing, one would
00:22:51.900
imagine a serious punishment. Life in prison, capital punishment even. He hasn't even been
00:22:58.420
arrested. You remember Mark Houck? We've been talking about him on the show recently. He's the
00:23:04.760
pro-life guy who was peacefully protesting in front of an abortion clinic and some lunatic leftist comes
00:23:11.940
upstairs screaming his 12-year-old son. The worst thing Mark Houck did was, I guess, sort of push the
00:23:16.260
guy away from his 12-year-old son. For that, the FBI shows up with 25, 30 agents, rifles drawn,
00:23:22.660
pointed at Mark, pointed at Mark's wife, busts in on the home. Seven kids there absolutely traumatized
00:23:28.640
from this because of Joe Biden's jack-booted Gestapo thugs. But a 74-year-old pro-abortion guy
00:23:34.860
shoots an 84-year-old pro-life lady because she's pro-life. The FBI's got more important things to do.
00:23:41.800
The FBI's got to go raid the former president's house. The FBI's got to go point guns around the
00:23:46.240
homes of seven poor little kids. They won't even take a look at that story. Why? Because
00:23:54.360
there are two justice systems. And meanwhile, you have privileged, famous, rich, elite, get away with
00:24:02.520
whatever they want, libs, claiming to be oppressed in this country. And then you've got pro-lifers.
00:24:10.480
There was an 18-year-old conservative who was just murdered, was just run over with a car by a 40-
00:24:15.580
something-year-old insane Democrat. And then what is that? Democrat gets $50,000 bond. He can then go
00:24:21.920
free. That's it. That's the way that criminal justice actually works in America.
00:24:29.220
Financing your first home can feel overwhelming, but TD can help. Request a calming call with TD
00:24:45.760
Speaking of the FBI intimidating pro-lifers, there's another one. I promise you, most of you
00:24:52.160
out there have not heard about this story. The FBI is harassing another pro-life group. This from
00:24:57.480
Mary Margaret Olihan, reporting it in Daily Signal. Pro-life sidewalk group, Pro-life Action Ministries
00:25:04.740
was just intimidated by more FBI thugs. Two FBI agents showed up to question a pro-life activist
00:25:11.680
who was praying outside of Planned Parenthood in St. Paul. So the FBI shows up and they're talking about
00:25:20.500
that guy Mark Houck. They're talking about the way that pro-lifers are being
00:25:27.860
targeted in this country. And then the FBI shows up there again. You've got genuine threats to the
00:25:35.040
country. BLM burning the country down for eight months. Antifa showing up all the time. Democrats
00:25:41.260
murdering 18-year-old Republicans for being Republican. You've got assassination attempts on
00:25:46.800
conservative justices on the Supreme Court. You've got Republicans being harassed everywhere they go.
00:25:52.140
You've got this, that, and the other thing. The FBI is only focused on the pro-lifers.
00:25:58.920
Harassing the pro-lifers. Which makes me blame the agents. I say this just like I said it yesterday.
00:26:06.660
Yes, they're good people who work for the FBI and they do good work. Certainly they did in the past.
00:26:10.820
These days, who knows what the FBI is up to other than this kind of targeting. At this point though,
00:26:17.340
I blame the agents. These two agents should not have gone out there. They should refuse
00:26:21.660
these orders. Very often at schools, people will come up to me or any speeches I give. People come
00:26:27.800
up and say, it's the same question. Every speech without fail. Michael, how do I know when to stand up
00:26:35.340
for my beliefs and how to just sort of go along to get along, get another paycheck, make it through
00:26:40.300
another day, get my degree, get my promotion, and then I can be conservative. And it goes back to
00:26:45.340
that issue I was talking about earlier. It goes back to prudence. It's not just that you show up
00:26:50.080
freshman year of high school and your teacher is a little bit liberal and you walk into class with
00:26:54.060
a MAGA hat on, blowing a trumpet, and you say, we will destroy all of you libs. Like Khrushchev
00:27:00.560
banging your shoe on the lectern at the UN. We will destroy you. We will bury you. No, you don't need
00:27:06.600
to do that. You don't need to be totally flamboyant with your views all of the time.
00:27:10.460
But you can't just roll over. You can't just give up because then there won't, if you just
00:27:17.420
constantly cave on your beliefs or refuse to stand up for them, then okay, you get through
00:27:23.440
freshman year, but then you'll stand up for it when you're an upperclassman. Except you got to get
00:27:26.800
into a good college. Okay. Well, you'll, but then when you're in college, you'll, you'll stand up for
00:27:30.640
your beliefs. Oh, except you got to get that good job, don't you? Okay. So once you get the job
00:27:34.720
though, then you'll say, well, except now you're a first year at this job, you should probably keep
00:27:38.700
your head down. Once you get that promotion though, that's okay. Until you're in middle
00:27:41.860
management. Wow. But now, you know, look, you got a family to feed. You probably can't rock the boat
00:27:45.420
too much. All right. Well, once you're the CEO and then, well, okay, you became a CEO. That's great.
00:27:49.260
But you're responsible to your shareholders or to your investors. Okay. And then eventually you die
00:27:53.780
and you've never done anything and you've never stood up for any of your beliefs and you've gone
00:27:56.780
along to get along. Prudence is a good way to, to measure when things have gone
00:28:04.560
too far. When the president is using his political appointees to send federal law enforcement out
00:28:12.460
almost exclusively to harass good, peaceful people doing good, peaceful things, standing up
00:28:21.980
for the most vulnerable people in society, little tiny babies who are being murdered en masse by the
00:28:30.380
libs with the encouragement and the funding of the Biden administration. When you, when you see
00:28:34.980
something that is so clearly good versus evil, you've got to stand up and you cannot say, well,
00:28:44.760
I was just following orders. Well, I was going to, no, this is it. This is the time. This is the time
00:28:49.540
FBI agents. For those FBI agents listening to this show, this is the time. Refuse the orders.
00:28:56.580
Have integrity. I, I pro, you might lose your pension. I don't know. You might lose some money,
00:29:03.460
but I promise you, you're going to feel a lot better than in 10 years, 20 years. Hey, daddy.
00:29:08.140
Hey, grandpa. What did, gosh, golly, what did you do in the FBI? Oh, I pointed guns at the children
00:29:13.040
of pro-life advocates because my boss, the president was just maniacally focused on killing babies.
00:29:20.340
So that's what I did, Sonny. I served my country. That's right. I harassed little grannies in the
00:29:26.460
street and I ignored it when the pro-life grannies got shot by the lunatic pro-abortion people. I just,
00:29:31.640
I just spent all my time defending the right, the right, quote unquote, of the pro-abortion people
00:29:35.400
to kill more babies. That's what I did. Aren't you proud of me, Sonny? No, no, they won't be proud of
00:29:40.760
you. They won't be proud of you at all. Speaking of the Biden administration and death,
00:29:45.360
Joe Biden just stepped in it again, as he often does. Joe Biden, and by it, I mean his mouth. He
00:29:54.140
put his foot right in his mouth. He was at an event, the White House Conference on Hunger,
00:29:58.120
Nutrition, and Health. And as he was doing his slappy on the back, simpering, hey there, buddy,
00:30:03.300
kind of politician routine, he asked where one member of Congress is, a woman named Jackie,
00:30:09.160
and bizarrely and unfortunately, Jackie is dead. And so many of you know so much about this as well,
00:30:19.340
and you're committed. And I want to thank all of you here for including bipartisan elected officials
00:30:25.040
like Representative Gover, Senator Braun, Senator Booker, Representative Jackie, are you here?
00:30:31.880
Where's Jackie? I didn't think she was going to be here. Where's Jackie? So if you look at the
00:30:37.860
people who were involved in this issue, the only person named Jackie would be Jackie Walorsky,
00:30:42.380
a Republican member of Congress from Indiana who died a month ago in a car accident.
00:30:50.740
If Joe Biden were your grandpa, or Joe Biden were some aged member of your family,
00:30:58.120
and he said this sort of thing, you would not be surprised. You know, sometimes people who are
00:31:04.080
senile and in decline, they forget these things, they forget who's died, and they don't keep up on
00:31:09.620
the news. But Joe Biden is the President of the United States. Joe Biden should be following the
00:31:18.760
news, at least. Joe Biden should know when a member of Congress dies. These are the people that he's got
00:31:25.260
to work with or fight against to get legislation passed. This is not just, oh, well, you know, look,
00:31:31.480
there's a lot of members of Congress. Well, the President's got a lot on his plate. Yeah,
00:31:34.760
that was a pretty big news story when she died. And members of Congress are pretty important to
00:31:41.860
the President in both parties. He should know this. And the fact that he doesn't, again,
00:31:49.720
I think buttresses my thesis, that Joe Biden is not running the show. There's a big debate,
00:31:54.500
even on the right. Is Joe Biden really in charge? And people whose opinions I respect came out and they
00:32:00.640
said, no, I think Joe Biden is in charge. You know, the buck stops with the President.
00:32:04.340
Okay, we can't just blame it on some shadowy cabal. I think he really is giving the calls.
00:32:09.240
No, I think everything that we've seen in the last year and a half, or more than a year and a half now,
00:32:15.640
shows that Joe Biden is not really the one making these calls. Actually, the evidence of this,
00:32:19.200
by the way, is that when Joe Biden makes a statement on policy himself that contradicts what
00:32:27.680
the powers that be want, then the White House comes out and clarifies and changes the policy.
00:32:37.840
You saw this, especially when Joe Biden said, yeah, we're going to defend Taiwan. We're going to
00:32:40.820
defend Taiwan. And then the White House came out and said, no, no, we support the one child policy,
00:32:45.020
one child policy, the one China policy, not the one child policy, which not even China supports
00:32:49.720
anymore. Well, what is the White House? You see this report, the White House said, right,
00:32:55.020
it's using a literary tool to say that, referring to this building as the power that is making these
00:33:04.460
decisions. But Joe Biden is supposed to be the executive who represents that power.
00:33:08.380
So how is Joe Biden at odds ever with the White House? Well, they're right. They're both they're
00:33:15.760
both metonyms and they're supposed to be the same metonym, but they're not. Why? Because Joe Biden
00:33:19.640
is obviously not calling the shots. Now, the White House had to come out and clarify. And in this case,
00:33:25.780
Karine Jean-Pierre, the president's spokesman, once again, gaslit the press and the American people
00:33:30.880
and said, I don't think there's anything weird about the president asking where the dead member of
00:33:34.300
Congress was at the event. Does the president think that she's living and in the room? I don't find
00:33:39.600
that confusing. I mean, I think many people can speak to sometimes when you have someone top of
00:33:44.260
mind, they're a top of mind. Exactly that. And it is also if you put it into the context, it's not like
00:33:51.560
it happened without outside of context, right? It happened at an event where we were
00:33:58.220
we were calling out the champions, congressional champions in particular of this issue, this
00:34:05.300
important issue when it comes to food and security. He was at an event, you all saw, you all watched,
00:34:11.020
which is why you're asking the question, right? Where he was calling out, again, congressional leaders,
00:34:17.340
a bipartisan leadership that we have seen on this particular issue. And again, he's going to see
00:34:25.440
her family in just two days. And she was on top of mind. I mean, I don't, that is, I mean, that is,
00:34:33.060
that is not an unusual, unusual scenario there. It's not unusual when senile people get confused
00:34:42.640
and think that dead people are still alive. That is not unusual. If you've ever had a parent or a
00:34:47.640
grandparent who's fallen into senility, you want to say, hey, where's Aunt, Aunt Josephine? It's like,
00:34:53.240
grandma, Aunt Josephine died 20 years ago. That's not unusual. It's unusual when the president of
00:34:58.560
the United States does that. It's unusual when we've got a completely senile president. And it's
00:35:02.440
just this gaslighting that drives me so crazy. It's actually somewhat similar to what we're seeing
00:35:09.500
from the media with the Lizzo James Madison flute saga, where Lizzo is allowed to play this flute and
00:35:18.380
jiggles on stage in this sort of pornographic costume, this obscene, grotesque sort of
00:35:23.220
performance. He goes, I'm playing James Madison's flute, the father of reconstruction. Look at my
00:35:28.940
little jiggling, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. And then, and then you say, oh, that's not,
00:35:33.300
that doesn't seem right. And you say, why? What's wrong with that? What's wrong? Why are you so offended
00:35:37.740
by that? You're obviously trying to offend me. The whole performance is offensive and gross and
00:35:44.500
grotesque as a historical matter. And just as an aesthetic matter, it's just gross.
00:35:50.560
And, and you're doing it intentionally to get a rise out of me. And then when you do get a rise
00:35:54.840
out of me, you gaslight me. You say, what, what, why is that so offensive? What's, what's so wrong?
00:35:58.640
It's like, they're just standing there like, Hey, Hey, not touching, not touching. They're moving
00:36:02.880
their hands, right? One inch from your face, not touching, not touching. Then you smack their hand
00:36:06.300
away. They say, why'd you hit me? Why? Come on. Why are you so triggered? No, you're obviously
00:36:10.660
trying to provoke me and get, get a rise out of me. Now you're, you're gaslighting me about it
00:36:16.920
the whole time. That's what I find. I find it even more offensive than, than Joe Biden calling out a
00:36:25.360
dead Congress, Congress lady's name. Yeah. He's senile. Okay. I don't, I, it's, it's weird. It's
00:36:30.160
sad, but I don't, I find it much more offensive when you gaslight me about it. I find it much more
00:36:34.960
offensive even than when Lizzo does this grotesque display with James Madison's flute. I find it much
00:36:39.360
more offensive when you then gaslight me and say, why? Oh, what's so wrong? What's wrong with that?
00:36:43.100
Are you just a big racist, sexist, thisist, thatist? No, not, I'm not any of those things.
00:36:50.680
I'm just a normal person. Do you like money? Normal people like money. Specifically, do you
00:36:55.540
like making companies money, saving companies money, making other people save money who would
00:37:01.660
otherwise spend it? Well, have we got a job for you? Daily Wire has a Nashville based opening for a
00:37:06.960
chief financial officer. The CFO will oversee our accounting, FP&A, and ad sales teams. Eight to
00:37:11.560

00:37:16.100
Daily Wire mission and ready to operate at an intensely fast pace. Prior relevant experience
00:37:20.940

00:37:49.920
with Dr. Oz down over in Pennsylvania. John Fetterman is a radical left Democrat. He said infamously that if he
00:38:00.800
had a magic wand, he could change whatever he wanted to change about society, the thing that
00:38:04.460
he would do is he would let murderers out of prison. That's not out of context. I'm not speaking
00:38:09.420
hyperbolically. That's actually what he said. John Fetterman, who never held a real job in his whole
00:38:15.940
life, who presents himself as a working class hero in his hoodie and he's a tough looking guy. He was
00:38:21.320
actually just on his parents' allowance. And when I say allowance, I'm not talking about the $2 a week you
00:38:27.000
got as a kid. I'm talking about 50 grand plus per year to support his sort of vagabond, derelict
00:38:32.680
lifestyle. John Fetterman just removed a certain section of his website. But because the internet
00:38:40.120
is forever, we got to see it. John Fetterman has just removed the Black Lives Matter section of the
00:38:47.360
website, which is really, really weird. Does John Fetterman no longer believe that Black Lives Matter?
00:38:53.480
Is John Fetterman admitting that Black Lives Matter is a sort of distasteful organization
00:39:00.040
that's obviously just a criminal enterprise anyway and not one to tout your support of when
00:39:07.320
you're running for Senate? Or, and this is most important, does John Fetterman still support the
00:39:13.340
BLM organization? But does John Fetterman realize that BLM is not a popular organization among actual
00:39:21.700
voters? Because what we've been told by the press, by the ruling class is, oh, BLM is wonderful. It's
00:39:29.980
the voice of the people. Oh, we all the good people support BLM. And I think, I don't know. I know a lot
00:39:36.280
of people. I know a lot of people of all races, all around the country, both political parties. I know
00:39:42.360
very few people, some, but few people who actively support BLM. Because BLM is a criminal organization
00:39:48.700
that burned the country down and killed dozens of people and embezzled tens of millions of dollars.
00:39:53.200
And it's just a total shakedown racket that would make the five families in New York blush,
00:39:57.600
okay? During their heyday, the mafia in New York was not as brazen as the BLM organization
00:40:04.800
over the past several years. And what the Democrats are admitting, they're implicitly admitting this.
00:40:10.540
They don't want to actually say it out loud in these words. But what John Fetterman is admitting
00:40:14.000
by taking that off his website is, yeah, people don't really like this.
00:40:19.160
And it's just like the mob, actually, which is, you know, when the enforcers come to your door,
00:40:24.100
they say, hey, do you have a problem with Don Luigi over there? You say, no, no, I love Don Luigi.
00:40:29.060
Oh, he's great. Oh, you guys do wonderful work. Please, here, have a little bit more money, please.
00:40:34.620
It's just like when the TV cameras show up. They say, hey, knock, knock. You love BLM, right?
00:40:38.240
Oh, yeah, I love BLM. Oh, BLM's great. It's my favorite organization. I changed my social media
00:40:43.680
picture to a black square. Please, take more money. Here, you can have some more money.
00:40:48.280
During the riots in LA, businesses were posting signs on their door. And they'd say,
00:40:54.580
we're black people. Please pass over us, agents of death. Go get whitey. We don't want to.
00:41:00.260
But you know what else they would post? The receipts from their donations to BLM.
00:41:07.060
Just like the mafia, worse than the mafia. And as in the case of that mafia, when you get people
00:41:13.340
actually in a private conversation, you say, you really support BLM? I'd say, well,
00:41:17.300
you know, they have killed people. You know, well, they do say, it does seem kind of like a shakedown.
00:41:22.280
Well, that lady who founded it, why does she have so many multi-million dollar mansions and some of
00:41:26.520
the nicest property in America? No, the Democrats know that that doesn't play in public. And so,
00:41:34.800
as they head into the midterms, makes me feel as though there is at least some integrity left to
00:41:40.140
our electoral system. The Democrats don't want to completely alienate the voters,
00:41:45.960
but they're trying to downplay all of this. Do not be fooled. Do not be fooled. The fact that it took
00:41:51.400
him this long to take BLM off his campaign website. Now we're, what are we, 40 days outside of the
00:41:56.820
election? She tells you everything that you need to know. Speaking of the libs trying to control the
00:42:04.660
internet, YouTube removed that viral speech of Georgia Maloney. You know, that great Georgia Maloney
00:42:16.640
clip where she comes out. We played it on the show a couple of days ago. This is the new prime
00:42:22.140
minister of Italy. And she says, why is it that you're not allowed to have a family anymore? Why is
00:42:28.700
the family the enemy? Why is the nation the enemy? Why do the liberals want to take away all of our
00:42:32.860
identities as a woman, as a mother, as a Christian, as an Italian? They want to do it because they want us
00:42:37.720
all to be just kind of globalist consumers. Parent number one, parent number two. They want us to be
00:42:44.260
birthing person. They want us to flood our countries with foreign nationals, with no limit
00:42:50.000
whatsoever. Get rid of all our traditions, all of our culture. It was a beautiful, beautiful speech,
00:42:55.120
articulate, serious, addressing the real problem. So of course, YouTube took it down.
00:43:00.420
Why did they take it down? Well, they said it violated community guidelines.
00:43:05.940
Lizzo, jiggling around more than half naked, that doesn't violate community guidelines.
00:43:12.340
It's BLM threatening people. Forget BLM. Elected Democrats threatening Republicans. That doesn't
00:43:17.700
violate community guidelines. Doctors, quacks encouraging little kids to chop off their
00:43:23.880
genitals. That doesn't violate community guidelines. But a modest defense of the family and the nation,
00:43:28.900
that does. Now, YouTube had to reverse course. They had to put it back up.
00:43:33.320
This is censorship, again, not just of a basic idea, not just of total common sense,
00:43:41.440
but of an elected head of state. This is the second time we've seen this, and I haven't seen
00:43:46.320
this part of it discussed. When YouTube and Google and Facebook and Twitter kicked Donald Trump off the
00:43:52.060
internet, that was a major political attack. That was a restructuring of our political order,
00:43:58.580
because you had a handful of oligarchs, globalist oligarchs, saying, hey, we're going to determine
00:44:05.920
who gets to be in the public square, including whether or not the duly elected sitting president
00:44:14.700
of the United States gets to be in the public square. What that means is, screw your democracy.
00:44:19.780
Oh, you think you have a democracy? You think you have a republic? No, because in a republic,
00:44:24.140
the public square is how you govern yourself. You debate things, you deliberate, you persuade
00:44:30.480
your fellow citizens. Not only are we not going to let you, regular private citizen,
00:44:34.300
into the public square, that guy that you elected through your democratic processes,
00:44:39.140
yeah, he's not going to be allowed in either, because we rule you. It was a shocking power grab
00:44:45.040
by the globalist oligarchy against the American people in our Republican form of government.
00:44:50.080
And now they just did it again with Georgia Maloney, right after she got elected.
00:44:56.260
They reversed course for now. The blowback was too intense. They are going to keep
00:45:00.040
doing this. This is how I know this woman is great. It's why I like this woman.
00:45:07.420
Then I went on and I listened to what she said, and I listened to the people that she was quoting,
00:45:12.020
G.K. Chesterton, Roger Scruton, all of these wonderful, and I thought, wow, this is a serious
00:45:16.060
woman. She really knows what she believes. She's really gotten things done.
00:45:18.780
But forget all of that. The fact that YouTube and the sort of globalist oligarchs hate her,
00:45:26.460
it takes me 80% of the way to say, I bet she's terrific. This is how I feel about Republican
00:45:31.760
politicians too. Someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene, for example. She gets pilloried. People
00:45:37.780
call her all sorts of names. They attack her. She's not couth. She's not this. She didn't go to some
00:45:43.540
fancy schools. She doesn't speak in the most eloquent way a lot of the time. Oh, please.
00:45:49.140
Even this is from the conservatives. Forget about the liberals who hate her guts. But even the
00:45:52.860
conservatives, oh, we don't need to associate with her. I don't know. She wasn't precise in how
00:45:56.520
she described. Okay, sure. I'll take all of those criticisms. I still like her. Why do I like her?
00:46:03.020
Because the libs despise her. And they seem to despise her for all the right reasons.
00:46:12.940
I can't, it's very easy to say Marjorie Taylor Greene, she's so awful. She's so terrible.
00:46:18.960
It's very hard to point to the thing that she did that's so singularly bad. What is it? What is the
00:46:25.740
thing that she said or did that's so singularly awful that conservatives should dump her?
00:46:30.040
Can you, I don't know. I can't, I haven't found it. If you find it, let me know. I haven't,
00:46:34.960
with Maloney. Oh, no, she's, she's a fascist. Is she? Okay. What did she say or do that's so bad?
00:46:42.040
Oh, she, you don't, no, you don't. Look, it's Italy. You don't understand. No, I said, look,
00:46:46.460
I speak Italian. I'm Italian. Show me. I'll translate for you. Show me the line that she said that's so bad.
00:46:52.140
Well, no, and it's just all this insinuation. And it's all this implication.
00:47:00.040
But I don't, I can't find what it is. As far as I'm concerned, this is my rule of thumb.
00:47:05.180
If the libs hate you and are out to get you and try to silence you and do their best to kill your
00:47:10.860
career, I'm going to start at least from the position of assuming you're a pretty, pretty great
00:47:17.880
person. And before we go with Maloney, I've got to get to one little clip. I know we'll run a little
00:47:24.360
over, but I don't care. I'm going to get to one clip with Maloney. Maloney comes out,
00:47:28.420
Emmanuel Macron attacked Maloney. So the head of France attacks the new head of Italy and says
00:47:34.580
she's irresponsible and she's this and she's that. And instead of just sitting back and taking it,
00:47:38.820
here's what Maloney said. Emmanuel Macron described us as cynics, irresponsible, disgusting.
00:47:50.440
And the Italian press said, did you hear what Macron said? He said, we're irresponsible.
00:47:58.460
What a shame. The irresponsible, Emmanuel Macron, are those who bombed Libya because they were
00:48:05.680
concerned that Italy would get good energy concessions from Gaddafi and left us with the
00:48:12.840
chaos of illegal immigration that we are now confronting. The cynics, Emmanuel Macron, are the
00:48:19.580
French who sent the gendarmerie to return the immigrants back to Italy when those same illegal
00:48:29.220
immigrants crossed from Italy into France. And most of all, and because things have to be said right,
00:48:37.360
and she goes on about the disgusting. Okay. I love this. This is like when you go to prison
00:48:44.100
and they say on the first day of prison, you gotta go punch the biggest, scariest looking guy you can
00:48:48.740
see there. You gotta go in, sort of guns blazing, swinging. You're ready to go and establish who you
00:48:55.000
are. That's what she's doing. This woman was elected two or three days ago. And she goes in,
00:48:59.140
she says, I'm not going to take any of this crap from anybody. And she's setting the tone
00:49:03.160
and she's not backing down. And I say, thank goodness. Thank goodness. In this moment where
00:49:09.820
people are on the fence and they're squishing and they say, oh, I don't know. It's now the moment.
00:49:13.400
Maybe I'll just follow orders. Maybe I'll just go get by. No, now is the time, folks. Okay. Now is the
00:49:19.440
time. The attacks on our traditional way of life have become so unbelievably intense. So many of us never
00:49:25.400
thought we'd get this far down the slippery slope. Transing the kids, desecrating all of our revered
00:49:30.620
national figures, pornography everywhere, radical redefinitions of the most basic institutions.
00:49:37.520
Now it's, now is the time. Now is the time for the member block. Okay. The rest of the show is
00:49:43.400
continuing now. We moved Woke Wednesday to Thursday because I was on the road. So we've got a video from
00:49:49.880
the New York Times. I have not seen it yet. I have been told this, even by New York Times standards,
00:49:55.340
is really, really horrific. So I can't wait. That'll be great. If you don't want to miss it,
