00:00:37.720 Joe Biden is not known for his consistency.
00:00:40.940 Over the years, Joe has changed his views on just about every issue under the sun,
00:00:46.260 from crime to abortion to foreign policy to marriage to pretty much everything else.
00:00:51.020 Unprincipled politicians, such as Joe Biden, sometimes refer to this kind of flip-flopping as evolving.
00:00:59.760 And now it seems Joe Biden has evolved into a Puerto Rican.
00:01:05.140 I was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home politically.
00:01:10.560 And so we came here for a long time, both for business and pleasures.
00:01:17.280 Richard Levine is a woman.
00:01:19.580 Elizabeth Warren is an Indian.
00:01:21.880 Joe Biden is a Puerto Rican.
00:01:24.640 And I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:34.080 Welcome back to the show.
00:01:35.800 You know, it's amazing, actually.
00:01:36.920 I was going to say I'm the only one who's remained consistent here.
00:01:39.380 Everyone else is turning into something.
00:01:41.120 But that's not true.
00:01:41.940 Last night, I actually was Candace Owens, because Candace was supposed to give a speech
00:01:46.200 at the University of Delaware.
00:01:47.720 And instead, she flew to Paris to set the internet on fire with Kanye West.
00:01:54.420 And so I actually, okay, Joe Biden's a Puerto Rican.
00:01:57.100 Liz Warren's an Indian.
00:01:58.260 I'm Candace Owens.
00:01:59.120 My favorite comment yesterday is from David McAllister, who says,
00:02:02.920 I'm so glad YouTube added abortion context to this video.
00:02:06.900 Otherwise, I would have just kept believing it was doctors killing defenseless babies for profit.
00:02:11.840 I actually had a few other people write into me about this.
00:02:14.920 So in my episode yesterday, which touched on a ton of subjects, though it did mention abortion
00:02:20.780 and AOC's stupid commentary on abortion, YouTube added a warning, a sort of a context warning.
00:02:27.940 And it just shows you that COVID was not a unique emergency that required extraordinary measures.
00:02:36.320 COVID was a test run for all new sorts of power grabs by the left.
00:02:40.860 Because during COVID, the Libs said, well, we need to add warnings about medical misinformation
00:02:46.340 and the masks and the social distancing and the vaccines.
00:02:50.200 And so they would add these little context bubbles to our videos to basically just push
00:02:56.080 the liberal line on COVID and discourage people from listening to different points of view.
00:03:01.900 But now COVID's over, and they're doing it on topics that are completely unrelated to COVID.
00:03:06.600 Now they're doing it on abortion.
00:03:07.820 So I come out and I say, yeah, AOC said a dumb thing about abortion.
00:03:10.300 They say, abortion actually is really great, and you shouldn't have any questions about it.
00:03:13.900 It's a perfectly fine medical procedure.
00:03:16.480 And OK, right.
00:03:17.180 They're going to do it.
00:03:17.760 They're going to do it with any time anyone criticizes Joe Biden pretty soon.
00:03:20.920 Actually, Joe Biden's a really great guy, and you should stop insulting him.
00:03:24.880 That's not nice.
00:03:25.660 It's crazy.
00:03:26.600 Is your home's title still in your name?

00:03:57.240 I don't think that people believe that Joe Biden is a Puerto Rican.
00:04:03.180 I don't think people believe Joe Biden, period.
00:04:07.880 I think Joe Biden is not persuasive.
00:04:12.780 And I think the reason that he and all the other libs are not really persuasive is because
00:04:18.400 they keep being proven wrong.
00:04:21.220 It's the fool me once, shame on you.
00:04:24.380 Fool me twice, shame on me.
00:04:25.860 Or as George W. Bush put it, fool me twice.
00:04:28.520 The point is, you're not going to fool me again.
00:04:30.720 And with the libs, it's fool me three times, fool me four times, fool me five times.
00:04:35.840 COVID certainly accelerated that trend.
00:04:38.240 And so it's just, it's not persuasive, especially when you compare Biden and the Democrats with
00:04:45.220 the political alternative.
00:04:47.040 You want to talk about persuasive.
00:04:48.620 You want to talk about in charge.
00:04:50.300 Ron DeSantis down there in Florida, in the wake of this horrible hurricane that destroyed
00:04:55.620 so much of Florida, killed a lot of people, destroyed a lot of property.
00:04:59.640 CNN is using this as an opportunity to really grill the governor and make it seem like he's
00:05:05.000 not competent, that this is somehow his fault, which of course is absurd.
00:05:08.980 Listen to how Ron DeSantis knocks the CNN reporter down.
00:05:13.180 Why do you stand behind Lee County's decision to not have that mandatory evacuation until
00:05:17.800 the day before the storm?
00:05:19.400 Well, did you, where was your industry station when the storm hit?
00:05:23.560 Were you guys in Lee County?
00:05:25.240 No, you were in Tampa.
00:05:26.460 So that's, you know, they were following the weather track and they had to make decisions
00:05:30.600 based on that.
00:05:31.400 But, you know, 72 hours, they weren't even in the cone.
00:05:33.980 48 hours, they were on the periphery.
00:05:36.180 So you got to make the decisions the best you can.
00:05:38.540 I will say, you know, they delivered the message to people.
00:05:41.660 They had shelters open.
00:05:43.100 You know, everybody had adequate opportunity to at least get to a shelter within the county.
00:05:47.200 But, you know, a lot of the residents did not want to do that.
00:05:50.180 I think for probably for various reasons, some people just don't want to leave their
00:05:53.140 home period, their island people, whatever.
00:05:55.140 But I think part of it was so much attention was paid to Tampa that I think a lot of them
00:05:59.440 probably thought that they wouldn't get the worst of it.
00:06:01.300 And so, you know, they but they did.
00:06:03.340 And I think it's it's easy to second guess them.
00:06:05.480 But they were ready for the whole time and and made that call when when there was justifiable
00:06:10.140 to do so.
00:06:11.340 By the way, this goes on for about another minute.
00:06:13.320 And DeSantis goes, he's just citing facts.
00:06:16.000 He's citing hour by hour weather trends.
00:06:19.000 He's pointing out that CNN also thought that the storm was going to move in a particular
00:06:23.040 way.
00:06:23.320 And then after the storm shifted, then Florida shifted resources down.
00:06:27.140 And so you just you leave that conversation with the impression this guy knows what he's
00:06:34.440 doing.
00:06:35.280 OK, if they had asked Joe Biden that question, what would he have done?
00:06:39.220 He would have started drooling.
00:06:40.700 He would have started talking about corn pop in the Delaware public pool.
00:06:44.580 He would.
00:06:45.180 It's it's not you can't even compare the two.
00:06:47.320 It's not that that Joe Biden might not have been able to cite all of those facts.
00:06:51.120 Joe Biden wouldn't have known what state he was in.
00:06:52.980 And so when people are comparing Republican leadership right now to Democrat leadership,
00:06:58.340 it doesn't take a political nerd, you know, someone following all the trends to see, oh,
00:07:03.380 the Republicans basically have their act together.
00:07:05.740 The Democrats have no idea what's going on.
00:07:07.440 You can see this.
00:07:08.060 There was a video that went viral yesterday of a guy who I don't think he's a political
00:07:12.040 consultant.
00:07:13.300 You know, I don't think that this is a guy who's, you know, constantly keeping up, refreshing
00:07:17.560 the page on real clear politics every day is a regular Florida citizen who says, look,
00:07:22.560 I'm a Democrat.
00:07:23.800 I've always considered myself a Democrat.
00:07:25.740 But DeSantis seems so competent.
00:07:27.640 I'm voting for that guy.
00:07:29.280 That guy is here in Arcadia.
00:07:31.680 I don't know why the rest of y'all, but it's here in Arcadia.
00:07:34.820 So y'all know who we vote for.
00:07:37.260 Y'all know why the rest of you, motherf*****er.
00:07:39.100 I'm voting for DeSantis.
00:07:40.600 And I'm a Democrat.
00:07:42.180 So y'all can call it where the f**k y'all want to call it.
00:07:44.540 We got children now.
00:07:45.760 Okay, I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:07:46.900 There's just a real persuasive aspect to competence, to just a basic degree of competence.
00:07:57.920 We tend to think of politics as this ideological struggle between the leftists and the conservatives
00:08:03.580 and the Marxists and the fascists and the thisists and the that.
00:08:08.300 But for a lot of people, politics comes down to, hey, are you going to show up?
00:08:13.000 Can you just show up when bad stuff happens and try to make it better?
00:08:17.020 Hey, can you reduce crime in my neighborhood?
00:08:20.180 Hey, can you keep the economy kind of going along?
00:08:23.220 Hey, can you fill my potholes?
00:08:25.340 Fill my potholes is a really important political tactic.
00:08:32.560 Okay, fill my potholes goes a long, long way.
00:08:37.580 And DeSantis is doing it.
00:08:39.100 He's doing it on every single level.
00:08:40.480 You even heard in that clip, DeSantis, he said, you know, there are misleading narratives.
00:08:45.540 You guys are pushing misleading narratives.
00:08:49.200 And I've noticed that Ron DeSantis, I don't know if it was in that specific clip.
00:08:52.460 It was certainly in the CNN interview.
00:08:54.500 And he keeps coming back to this misleading narratives.
00:08:56.460 Why?
00:08:56.880 Because misleading narratives is the Ron DeSantis version of fake news, right?
00:09:01.700 Donald Trump says you're fake news.
00:09:03.380 Ron DeSantis is saying the exact same thing, but he uses a synonym because he doesn't want
00:09:07.260 to just be seen as a copycat of Trump.
00:09:08.880 He wants, he adopts a lot of Trump's characteristics and habits.
00:09:14.400 He uses the Trump hands, the sort of like New York Italian hands, really.
00:09:18.000 But he uses the Trump hands.
00:09:19.440 He uses some of the Trump diction and cadence, but he changes it.
00:09:24.720 He makes it his own.
00:09:25.920 And I think that competence goes a long way, especially if DeSantis does choose to run in 2024.
00:09:33.380 Presidents tend to be the opposite of their predecessors, right?
00:09:39.860 You think of George W. Bush.
00:09:44.820 Go all the way back to George W. Bush.
00:09:46.940 Bill Clinton is marked by this kind of liberal, skeezy, completely irreligious, immoral, White
00:09:55.520 House, full of scandal.
00:09:56.600 And then George W. Bush, whatever you think of the guy, he's a pretty upright man, born
00:10:01.640 again Christian.
00:10:03.140 You know, there's no sex scandals coming out of the George W. Bush White House.
00:10:08.120 Then after Bush, what do we get?
00:10:09.980 We get Barack Obama.
00:10:11.280 So the Bushes, old, white, establishment, vaguely conservative.
00:10:17.940 Barack Obama, young, fresh, newcomer, leftist, first black president.
00:10:23.280 Then what do you get after Obama?
00:10:24.980 After Obama, who's this young, fresh, radical, we're gonna fundamentally transform America.
00:10:29.820 We hate the old America.
00:10:31.120 Obama's wife says, the first time I was ever proud of my country was when it elected my
00:10:33.960 husband.
00:10:34.340 What happens?
00:10:34.760 You get Donald Trump who says, now, we're bringing back the old America.
00:10:37.600 Make America great again, right?
00:10:39.460 Donald Trump, this older guy, kind of more old school, right wing style.
00:10:44.440 Then after Trump, who was relatively pretty effective, actually, even in just one term
00:10:49.520 in office, even with the deep state trying to undermine him.
00:10:52.200 What do you get?
00:10:52.960 You get, and this guy who's a total populist, bull in a China shop, upending the establishment.
00:10:57.560 What do you get?
00:10:58.100 You get the most establishment, boring guy in the entire world, Joe Biden.
00:11:02.180 So what comes after Biden?
00:11:04.320 Maybe you get Trump again.
00:11:06.660 But DeSantis is putting himself in a position where he could be a good alternative.
00:11:12.140 There's no question about it.
00:11:13.320 And it's not just DeSantis, by the way.
00:11:16.280 You're seeing Republicans around the country who are showing this kind of energy and clarity
00:11:20.360 and competence.
00:11:21.500 Carrie Lake, we haven't gotten to talk about her very much on this show, but we absolutely
00:11:25.360 should.
00:11:26.100 Carrie Lake running for governor of Arizona.
00:11:28.480 Listen to how adeptly she fends off a reporter's dishonest, ridiculous question on abortion.
00:11:35.280 Abortion is effectively banned in the state right now.
00:11:39.360 Tell me, is that something that you support?
00:11:41.100 I support saving as many lives as possible.
00:11:43.860 And what I really want to know, and I've been waiting.
00:11:45.960 I tune into you guys all the time.
00:11:47.400 I want to know where Katie Hopp stands.
00:11:48.960 But I never hear you guys ask for that.
00:11:50.940 I'm pro-life.
00:11:52.340 My plan would be that every woman who walks into an abortion clinic know that there are
00:11:57.820 options out there.
00:11:58.660 They don't have to choose that.
00:12:00.400 There's families who would love to adopt a baby.
00:12:02.420 And right now, the way it's been going, they go in and they only have one option.
00:12:06.560 That's it.
00:12:07.280 Nobody tells them that there's other options.
00:12:09.480 We want to help our women.
00:12:10.800 If they're afraid, we want to help them.
00:12:12.200 We want to give women health care.
00:12:13.700 And I want to help people.
00:12:14.900 But I really challenge you.
00:12:16.540 And I'm happy to get back to you on this.
00:12:18.280 When you find out where Katie Hopp stands, because let me tell you where she stands.
00:12:21.060 She supports abortion right up until birth and after birth.
00:12:25.300 She supports if a baby survives a botched abortion, that that baby die on a cold metal
00:12:31.860 tray.
00:12:32.800 And none of you ever try to get her to talk about her stance.
00:12:36.880 So get back to me after you do.
00:12:38.680 Thank you.
00:12:39.200 And tell her.
00:12:42.160 Fabulous.
00:12:42.880 Exactly how it's done.
00:12:44.700 Okay.
00:12:45.280 Carrie Lake obviously is on the right side of the issue.
00:12:48.960 She's on the pro-life side of the issue.
00:12:50.500 But it's not just about ideology or political views or policies even.
00:12:56.680 There is a role for just a basic political confidence.
00:13:00.540 And we kind of forget this because we're living in the Biden era.
00:13:02.820 But this woman expertly flipped this question back on the reporter.
00:13:08.020 This dishonest question.
00:13:09.400 Said, hold on.
00:13:09.900 What you're pushing me on all this ridiculous kind of these cases that barely ever happened.
00:13:14.820 That you're framing the issue from this ridiculous place.
00:13:17.340 Why don't you ever ask my opponent?
00:13:18.780 I'll tell you what she thinks.
00:13:19.460 She wants to let babies born alive die in cold metal trays.
00:13:23.700 That's the way to do it.
00:13:24.800 And after such dysfunction and incompetence for the past couple of years now, I think voters
00:13:31.580 are hungry for people who can actually do the job.
00:13:34.980 We're not, don't just have the right opinions or the opinions that they prefer, but can actually
00:13:38.720 do a job.
00:13:40.720 As the elites prove themselves to be incompetent, people begin to look elsewhere.
00:13:48.840 People begin to doubt the authority of these elites.
00:13:52.060 Look no further than the federal bench.
00:13:55.760 Federal judge, federal judge James C.
00:13:59.820 Ho, who is on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, has just said that he will no longer hire law
00:14:05.820 clerks from Yale Law School.
00:14:09.360 He's right to do it.
00:14:10.420 He says that Yale Law School is not what it once was.
00:14:14.280 He says, Yale not only tolerates the cancellation of views, it actively practices it.
00:14:20.900 Starting today, I will no longer hire law clerks from Yale Law School, and I hope that other
00:14:25.720 judges will join me as well.
00:14:27.140 Well, he's smart, he's smart to say that.
00:14:32.200 Some people are complaining, well, what about the good kids at Yale Law School?
00:14:35.500 Yeah, maybe, but Yale Law School is considered the top school in the country.
00:14:40.580 Yale Law School sends all of its students out to extremely prestigious posts.
00:14:46.160 If you have Yale Law School on your resume, you can pretty much go wherever you want.
00:14:51.640 Why?
00:14:52.080 Well, because of the prestige and the tradition that goes along with that name.
00:14:57.840 But does a Yale Law School degree today represent what it used to represent 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago?
00:15:08.380 No, I don't think it does.
00:15:10.620 The caliber of students who are coming out of Yale Law School is inferior today than it was
00:15:16.480 20, 30, 40 years ago.
00:15:18.780 The things that they're being taught at Yale Law School are inferior.
00:15:24.520 They're less true.
00:15:25.540 They're less good than the things that they were taught 20, 30, 40 years ago.
00:15:29.340 And so if you're a judge hiring clerks, I think it's perfectly rational to say,
00:15:33.340 you know, look, I know this place has a good reputation.
00:15:35.780 I know it's been the top of the heap for many years now, but it's just decayed, okay?
00:15:40.540 And the libs have gone in.
00:15:42.260 They've cut it open.
00:15:43.140 And they've emptied out the body of Yale Law School like that monster in the first scene
00:15:48.200 of The Empire Strikes Back, right?
00:15:49.600 They've just taken the guts out of Yale Law School.
00:15:51.620 And then they've crawled inside of Yale Law School and animated it like Night of the Living Dead.
00:15:56.680 And they kind of hobble around in it.
00:15:58.740 But it's not actually what it once was.
00:16:01.220 And so I'm going to stop giving it this special privilege of we always hire the YLS people.
00:16:06.220 And I'm going to start looking around to other law schools, of course.
00:16:09.180 And it's not just about law clerks.
00:16:11.360 It's not just about Yale.
00:16:12.900 It used to be, again, 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago, that if you had Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford,
00:16:22.680 these big fancy schools on your resume, that really meant something.
00:16:26.040 And employers really looked for that.
00:16:27.880 Is that still true today?
00:16:30.160 I'm not so sure.
00:16:32.260 Certainly, if I were hiring people, I would, you know, maybe I'd say, okay,
00:16:36.340 maybe that means you got a decent SAT score, though maybe it doesn't.
00:16:39.380 I'm not even sure.
00:16:40.140 I mean, the schools for a while weren't even looking at SATs.
00:16:43.100 And we're not even giving high priority to SATs.
00:16:46.360 So I don't even know that it means you got a basic level of kind of intelligence.
00:16:50.560 Forget about if you know anything or have the right opinions or have the right values or anything like that.
00:16:57.620 But does it mean anything anymore?
00:16:59.660 I don't know.
00:17:00.180 If I got a resume today from a kid from Hillsdale and a kid from Princeton,
00:17:04.460 I'm probably going to just immediately suspect that the kid from Hillsdale is better educated than the kid from Princeton.
00:17:12.780 The kid from Princeton could surprise me.
00:17:15.120 But this would be an unthinkable opinion 20 years ago.
00:17:17.960 But it's just the authorities, the elites can't coast on their reputation forever
00:17:24.580 after they have done their damnedest to destroy that credibility and to destroy that reputation.
00:17:30.880 The clearest example of this is COVID.
00:17:34.560 Before COVID, I generally believed what the public health authorities said.
00:17:42.180 Not 100%, but I thought, okay, they probably know more about epidemics and stuff than I do.
00:17:47.060 So I guess I'll generally follow their advice.
00:17:50.080 I'll generally believe what they think.
00:17:52.160 Whether they're talking about vaccines, whether they're talking about epidemics that come around.
00:17:58.180 I think, I don't know.
00:17:58.900 I don't know anything about it.
00:17:59.860 I guess they probably do.
00:18:00.940 So I'll believe them.
00:18:01.800 After COVID, I don't believe a word they say.
00:18:03.880 After COVID, if Dr. Fauci came up to me and said, we've got an epidemic coming and you all need to take this shot.
00:18:09.820 And then I had an African shaman witch doctor come to me and say,
00:18:12.920 actually, we just need to boil three kidneys of goat and the eye of newt.
00:18:16.640 And then the pandemic will pass.
00:18:18.920 I will believe the African witch doctor shaman.
00:18:21.660 I think he's got more medical credibility than Dr. Fauci.
00:18:24.500 After these people in our public health establishment have lied to us and intentionally deceived us.
00:18:30.940 And furthermore, when they weren't intentionally deceiving us,
00:18:33.940 just were completely incompetent and made stupid errors and got things wrong.
00:18:38.900 Going all the way back to the origin of the virus, by the way.
00:18:41.760 So they've squandered their credibility.
00:18:45.780 They continue to squander it, by the way.
00:18:47.460 By the way, I don't know if you caught this doozy of a headline.
00:18:50.280 So there's a new report out, new scientific medical report.
00:18:56.040 An mRNA spike protein has been detected in the brain and the heart of a dead man.
00:19:04.640 This is a case report published in Vaccines, which is a really top, well-respected journal.
00:19:12.240 Quote, I'm quoting from the report,
00:19:14.260 the findings corroborate previous reports of encephalitis and myocarditis caused by gene-based COVID-19 vaccines.
00:19:22.700 So what do we take away from this?
00:19:24.180 One, the vaccines cause myocarditis.
00:19:27.660 We already knew that.
00:19:28.880 Well, initially we were told that's horrible scientific misinformation.
00:19:31.480 There was a big, big banner warning every time you would talk about this on the video.
00:19:35.380 Sometimes they would take my shows down for saying things like this.
00:19:38.380 They're probably going to put a banner on YouTube right now.
00:19:40.720 But nevertheless, the CDC now admits that the COVID vaccines do cause, in some cases at least, myocarditis.
00:19:47.420 Apparently they cause encephalitis as well.
00:19:50.220 So problems not just with the heart, but with the brain.
00:19:53.240 But we were also told that the spike proteins remained localized.
00:19:58.060 We were also told the way these mRNA vaccines work is they go in and you get this little shot.
00:20:03.980 And then your body produces spike proteins to kind of mimic the COVID virus.
00:20:07.760 And this is supposed to give you an immunity to the virus.
00:20:10.380 And it's actually supposed to stop you from getting the virus,
00:20:12.920 which is what Biden and Fauci and Walensky, the CDC director, all told us.
00:20:17.860 And then that didn't happen at all.
00:20:19.500 So then they had to change their story entirely.
00:20:21.540 But anyway, that was the theory of what it was going to do.
00:20:23.420 But they said, don't worry.
00:20:24.640 These spike proteins that are being produced, they're not going to go all over your body.
00:20:28.060 They're not going to end up in your ovaries.
00:20:29.340 They're not going to end up in your brain.
00:20:30.540 They're not going to end up in your heart.
00:20:31.540 They're just going to stay where they're supposed to stay.
00:20:33.300 And at the time, I said, that's obviously BS.
00:20:35.860 They're completely lying to us.
00:20:37.080 And they said, no, that's medical misinformation.
00:20:38.840 Well, here it is.
00:20:39.860 Here it is.
00:20:40.400 They found the spike protein there.
00:20:41.780 They didn't find any other part of the COVID virus there.
00:20:44.140 You can't blame it on the virus.
00:20:45.140 They said, no, we found the spike protein from the vaccine in this dead guy's brain and heart
00:20:50.240 three weeks after he got the shot.
00:20:51.840 So we were right.
00:20:55.840 We were right.
00:20:56.860 You know I hate to say I told you so.
00:20:59.480 And it's not just that I told you so.
00:21:00.720 You told lots of other people so as well.
00:21:03.160 We were right.
00:21:04.300 And yet, and this gets back to what we were talking about a little bit yesterday.
00:21:09.180 Nothing's going to happen to the Fauci's and the Walensky's and big pharma especially.
00:21:13.980 Nothing's going to happen.
00:21:14.980 These guys are totally protected.
00:21:16.320 Nothing's going to happen to the big tech social media oligarchs who censored all of this
00:21:21.140 true information a year ago.
00:21:23.700 Nothing's going to happen to the politicians who downplayed these risks.
00:21:28.240 Nothing's going to happen.
00:21:28.800 They're completely protected legally, politically.
00:21:33.120 Too bad because they've got the power.
00:21:35.360 And now not only do they have the power to mandate these kinds of shots, in a lot of cases
00:21:40.220 still, even after courts have struck it down, not only do they have the power to encourage
00:21:46.020 people through the culture to take all these shots, even if they don't necessarily need
00:21:49.560 the shots.
00:21:50.140 They have the culture to censor the information and they have the power to erase some information
00:21:57.840 at least or make it much harder to find information that was previously out there.
00:22:02.080 They can rewrite all the records.
00:22:04.000 You know, it is, I know the word Orwellian is overused, but it is Orwellian.
00:22:07.800 They can rewrite the records.
00:22:09.060 They can retcon the past.
00:22:11.180 We were totally right though.
00:22:13.100 Don't forget that.
00:22:13.820 And speaking of being right, I've gotten a lot of flack.
00:22:16.600 I've gotten a lot of flack from a lot of quarters since the beginning of the war in
00:22:19.880 Ukraine because I have refused to approach the issue of the war in Ukraine as a kind
00:22:26.320 of simplistic moral crusade with the clear good guy and the clear bad guy.
00:22:30.660 And it's so totally clear, even if there were a clear good guy and a clear bad guy, it's
00:22:34.440 so totally clear exactly what we should do in this war.
00:22:37.740 My opinion on the war in Ukraine, I've gotten flack from the people who have the Ukraine flag
00:22:41.580 in their bios because they think I'm not sufficiently pro-Ukraine.
00:22:44.920 And then I've gotten flack from the people who are fairly reactionary and who are actually
00:22:48.720 supporting Russia in the war.
00:22:50.300 And they're saying, Michael, you're a shill for the decadent West because you're too pro-Ukraine.
00:22:56.040 So I don't know.
00:22:56.500 I'm too pro-Ukraine.
00:22:57.360 I'm not pro-Ukraine enough.
00:22:58.740 But you know what my opinion has been on the war from the beginning?
00:23:01.440 This is my shocking hot take.
00:23:04.740 It's complicated.
00:23:06.480 That's my opinion.
00:23:07.360 It didn't start six months ago or eight months ago.
00:23:11.920 It at the very least started eight years ago when there was a color revolution called the
00:23:19.640 Maidan revolution in Ukraine that ousted a pro-Ukrainian leader and installed a more pro-Western
00:23:26.040 leader.
00:23:26.460 And we know that there was American support for this kind of thing.
00:23:29.100 And we know that CIA officials, including the top dog at the CIA, landed in Ukraine not
00:23:34.040 that long after that occurred.
00:23:35.600 And okay, that's fine.
00:23:37.080 All sorts of big, powerful countries interfere in the affairs of all sorts of nations and
00:23:41.460 pursue their own interests.
00:23:42.320 Of course, that's what happens.
00:23:43.660 But we do know that Russia saw that as a provocation.
00:23:46.740 Russia saw the expansion of NATO as a provocation.
00:23:49.660 And so Russia used that as an opportunity to do what it had wanted to do for a while and
00:23:53.620 exert more influence over Ukraine.
00:23:55.460 And so that was a situation that America and the West could not tolerate.
00:23:58.240 And so you've had this steadily escalating war.
00:24:00.960 So while everyone's been yelling at me because I'm not sufficiently simplistic about my view
00:24:07.340 of this war, turns out Elon Musk agrees with me.
00:24:09.960 Because Elon Musk just tweeted out, quote, Ukraine, Russia, peace, redo elections of annexed
00:24:14.300 regions under UN supervision.
00:24:16.200 Russia leaves if that is the will of the people.
00:24:18.420 Crimea formally part of Russia as it had been since 1783 until Khrushchev's mistake.
00:24:23.280 Water supply to Crimea assured.
00:24:25.240 Ukraine remains neutral.
00:24:26.320 That is almost exactly what I have suggested from the beginning of this war.
00:24:31.640 Or it certainly, certainly before the war even broke out as a sort of way to maybe stave
00:24:37.020 off a war.
00:24:38.280 That has been, largely speaking, my view.
00:24:43.320 And now you've got Elon Musk, who everybody seems to love.
00:24:47.780 He's got exactly the same view.
00:24:49.780 And the reaction from some prominent Ukrainians has not been so nice.
00:24:54.560 Now, do you want to win a McLaren or a quarter million dollars in cash?
00:24:58.780 I'm talking to all the dads right now as a father.
00:25:01.600 We all want what's best for our children and their education.
00:25:04.360 That's why we, sometimes begrudgingly, but still enthusiastically, participate in school
00:25:09.660 fundraisers.
00:25:10.420 From buying magazines to baking cookies to paying a bunch of kids to half wash our vehicles
00:25:15.140 at the team car wash.
00:25:16.160 Well, what if you could spearhead the biggest fundraiser in your school and community's history
00:25:20.480 with less effort than a walk-a-thon?
00:25:23.020 By now, you have heard of Jeremy's Razors contest for the car, where you might become
00:25:27.860 the winner of Jeremy's McLaren.
00:25:29.500 Now, sure, you could add a 592 horsepower Super Roar to your school's bus fleet, or you
00:25:35.660 could opt for the quarter million dollar cash prize instead.
00:25:40.540 You and all the other dads and moms could do a lot of good for your kids with that money
00:25:44.980 just by referring a few non-woke razors.
00:25:49.480 Imagine, a quarter million dollars to resurface the gym, build a computer room, put up some
00:25:54.280 Friday night lights.
00:25:55.500 Right now, most of the top players in the contest still have not hit the 10 referrals mark, so
00:26:00.340 the field is wide open for you to win it all.
00:26:03.420 Go to the principal's office, get him or her involved.
00:26:05.760 Just head to jeremysrazors.com slash play to get your referral link and get in the game.
00:26:11.540 Elon Musk proposes a solution on the Ukraine conflict, and it's a solution that would not
00:26:22.660 make Ukraine totally happy, would not make Russia totally happy, but it's a solution that
00:26:28.320 he says is probably the most likely resolution to it anyway and would, in fact, de-escalate
00:26:35.860 the war, which is just steadily increasing toward now.
00:26:39.920 We've got people in the press trying to normalize the prospect of tactical nuclear weapons being
00:26:44.480 used.
00:26:45.000 So Elon puts out a suggestion that I think is extremely moderate and reasonable.
00:26:50.980 There's this guy named Arrestovich.
00:26:54.080 Arrestovich, who's a blue check on Twitter, and he's a retired Ukrainian colonel and intelligence
00:27:01.320 officer, and he tweets out a picture of a guy being tortured.
00:27:07.580 I think it was probably a Russian soldier or something.
00:27:09.540 He's plugged in.
00:27:10.560 He's handcuffed.
00:27:11.820 He's got some wires all around him sitting in a small chair, and it's Elon Musk's face
00:27:18.420 superimposed on this poor guy being held prisoner, and it just says, we work promptly.
00:27:25.700 That's the translation, we work promptly.
00:27:27.520 So it's a threat against Elon Musk saying, we're going to arrest you and probably torture
00:27:32.840 you if you suggest any kind of moderate resolution to this war, which is not great.
00:27:39.120 That's not the kind of behavior you want to see from our allies, the people that we're
00:27:43.520 funding.
00:27:44.120 You don't want them to threaten to arrest and torture our citizens, okay?
00:27:48.140 Especially someone like Elon Musk, who has helped Ukraine, who has given lots of millions
00:27:52.960 and millions of dollars worth of Starlink equipment to the Ukrainians to help fight this war.
00:27:58.940 Kind of complicates the picture of this war.
00:28:01.800 But more importantly than that, I'm not even paying particularly close attention to the
00:28:06.960 war in Ukraine, which despite really bubbling up in the press and accelerating in recent months,
00:28:11.360 has been going on for years now.
00:28:13.220 And there's been some kind of conflict between Ukraine and Russia for about a thousand years
00:28:16.460 now.
00:28:16.700 So I'm not paying granular attention to it.
00:28:20.280 However, I have to, I wish I had my Nostradamus hat in my desk right now.
00:28:26.420 We were talking about this, what, yesterday and two days ago?
00:28:31.080 The idea that corporations now can wage war.
00:28:38.240 Ian Bremmer, a very well-respected foreign policy writer, he said that specifically with
00:28:43.120 regard to the war in Ukraine, corporations are becoming literal belligerents in the war.
00:28:49.920 Google, gigantic corporations can play a role in the war.
00:28:53.760 And he referred to Elon Musk specifically.
00:28:56.400 But then the hazard here, of course, is that if corporations and CEOs can become literal
00:29:01.140 belligerents in the war, then they become literal targets in the war.
00:29:05.300 Just as this Ukrainian military blue check dude proved.
00:29:10.780 Because he says, yeah, you're a target, Elon Musk.
00:29:13.380 We're going to arrest you if you keep suggesting that we wind this war down right now.
00:29:18.200 Along lines that we don't favor, or that I don't favor.
00:29:22.340 That's what he's saying.
00:29:23.240 He's saying, you corporations are going to become a target.
00:29:25.460 So what do we do then?
00:29:26.740 What do we do then if the corporations can literally wage the war, become the targets of
00:29:32.620 the war, hard military targets, China's looking at American corporations as hard and soft military
00:29:41.660 targets too.
00:29:43.180 What does that mean?
00:29:44.460 And if the corporations can make the policies about the war, and if the corporations can
00:29:49.640 censor people willy-nilly as they've censored this show very often in the public square,
00:29:53.920 what does that mean?
00:29:54.780 It means the corporations are the government.
00:29:57.960 That's what it means.
00:29:58.680 It means that we've privatized ourselves all the way out of self-government.
00:30:04.400 And it wasn't just the liberals that did that.
00:30:06.280 It was the conservatives who did that too.
00:30:08.380 And conservatives did that with some good reason.
00:30:10.600 In the latter part of the 20th century, the conservatives wanted to revive the economy.
00:30:15.980 The conservatives wanted to draw a clear distinction between us in the West and the communists in
00:30:20.700 the Soviet Union.
00:30:21.420 And so we moved toward an intense campaign of privatization.
00:30:26.860 Well, that's all well and good.
00:30:28.640 But if you privatize too much, well, then you've just privatized away your whole government.
00:30:33.400 And now you've got people who are, frankly, just as bureaucratic as the deep state.
00:30:38.340 We only talk about the bureaucracy of the government.
00:30:41.000 Have you ever tried to call and change your cell phone plan?
00:30:43.560 You call AT&T or Verizon or something?
00:30:45.660 I'd rather deal with the DMV than I would deal with AT&T and Verizon.
00:30:49.140 But those are private companies.
00:30:50.840 What about the airlines?
00:30:51.540 No, those are private companies.
00:30:53.500 What about, I don't know, even just Walmart or something?
00:30:56.640 You know, you call these companies, you end up in this business.
00:31:00.180 Oh my gosh, a bank?
00:31:01.140 Oh, calling the bank?
00:31:02.380 That's the worst bureaucracy I've ever dealt with.
00:31:05.160 That's way worse than the DMV.
00:31:06.960 So it's not as though bureaucracy is just a problem of the government.
00:31:10.080 It's a problem of privatization too.
00:31:11.480 The only difference is that a lot of times when you give your government away to the corporations,
00:31:15.980 the corporations are even less accountable to you than Washington is.
00:31:18.720 And that's damning with faint praise because Washington's barely accountable at all.
00:31:23.660 So then where is the line?
00:31:26.320 Where do you draw the line?
00:31:27.240 Again, it goes back to my unsatisfying answer on the Ukraine war
00:31:30.780 and Elon Musk's identical unsatisfying answer on the Ukraine war.
00:31:36.140 But it is the normal response.
00:31:38.520 I think it's the response that the vast majority of people would understand.
00:31:41.640 If they're not political eggheads who are refreshing the crazy political blogs all day long,
00:31:46.980 they would realize that we need prudence.
00:31:49.780 How do you decide the limits between the government and the private sector and the limits to privatization?
00:31:56.880 How do you decide?
00:31:58.080 Prudence.
00:31:59.520 Be reasonable.
00:32:00.680 Be normal.
00:32:01.180 That's how you decide.
00:32:02.300 How do we decide exactly how to resolve this war in Ukraine?
00:32:05.820 Oh, the first major war in Europe since World War II,
00:32:08.160 a war that has already had threats on both sides to go nuclear.
00:32:11.940 How do you resolve that?
00:32:13.500 Delicately and carefully.
00:32:14.760 And you use your prudence and you be normal.
00:32:16.540 Goodness gracious me.
00:32:18.280 Goodness gracious me.
00:32:19.320 Ideologues are going to have a lot of trouble with that answer.
00:32:21.720 But that's what you do.
00:32:23.140 Of course that's what you do.
00:32:24.600 Speaking of private interests taking over our government,
00:32:27.960 another told you so moment.
00:32:29.220 There's a report out now that the Libs worked with the feds through state-backed,
00:32:40.360 but still technically kind of private means to rig the election.
00:32:44.260 As we've said for a long time, there's probably going to be another warning banner because I said that.
00:32:48.360 This episode today is going to have, what, like seven warning banners under it on YouTube?
00:32:52.700 I don't know if they have the technological infrastructure to put that many warning banners.
00:32:57.500 This report just came out.
00:32:58.660 There's a coalition of NGOs and sort of non-profit organizations and academic institutions and a private company
00:33:06.320 that worked with arms of the federal government and with Democrat activist organizations
00:33:12.300 to censor news websites in the run-up to 2020.
00:33:17.080 They also plan to do that again in 2022.
00:33:20.460 How did they do it?
00:33:21.700 Do you think they censored the Libs just the same as they censored the conservatives?
00:33:25.420 Of course not.
00:33:26.840 They all teamed up.
00:33:28.000 The government and the academy and private business and the non-profit organizations that are usually just the enforcement wing
00:33:35.660 of the American liberal empire, they all teamed up to rig the election against the conservatives.
00:33:41.180 Great report by Alam Bakari in, Alam Bakari.
00:33:44.940 I don't know why I called him.
00:33:45.620 I actually really like the guy.
00:33:46.680 He's a friend of mine.
00:33:47.640 But Alam Bakari has a great report.
00:33:51.180 I suggest you read it at Breitbart.
00:33:53.300 It's called the Election Integrity Partnership.
00:33:57.460 And this is made up of the Stanford Internet Observatory,
00:34:00.680 the University of Washington Center for an Informed Public,
00:34:02.940 the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab,
00:34:05.100 and Grafica, a social media analytics company.
00:34:08.720 And then it teams up with things like Common Cause and the NAACP,
00:34:11.480 which are really just front groups for the Democrat Party,
00:34:14.320 teamed up with the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department.
00:34:17.100 The whole point of it was to censor conservatives on Twitter
00:34:20.860 and to censor conservatives on Facebook and Google and just the whole social media platform.
00:34:24.960 We're talking about the New York Post, Epoch Times, Charlie Kirk, Tom Fitton,
00:34:29.720 Jack Posobiec, who I was with last night, Mark Levin, James O'Keefe, Sean Hannity.
00:34:34.060 The list goes on and on and on.
00:34:36.020 Donald Trump, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr.
00:34:38.240 And they flagged these posts.
00:34:40.180 And sometimes they delete the posts.
00:34:42.040 And sometimes they just put a little warning label on it.
00:34:44.280 According to this report that came out, the EIP, the Election Integrity Project,
00:34:49.560 which is just the censor the conservatives project, was pretty successful.
00:34:54.700 In 21% of cases, the social media platforms labeled content identified by this group
00:35:00.880 as potentially misleading.
00:35:02.740 And they flagged it and said, you've got to really watch out for this.
00:35:05.380 Then in 13% of cases, they just removed the content from the platforms.
00:35:08.860 It's very, very successful stuff.
00:35:12.240 Who elected these people?
00:35:13.840 Who elected Common Cause and the NAACP and the Stanford group?
00:35:17.460 And I didn't elect these people.
00:35:19.100 Who elected Mark Zuckerberg?
00:35:21.080 Who elected Jack Dorsey?
00:35:23.720 Who elected Google?
00:35:25.380 No, nobody.
00:35:26.120 But this is the way our government is run now.
00:35:29.980 They just don't call it a government.
00:35:32.060 But if my rights are being taken away, if my traditions and my way of life is being taken
00:35:36.060 away by some woke, unholy alliance of corporations and nonprofits, it doesn't make me feel better.
00:35:43.140 Because I say, well, at least it's not the government that's doing it.
00:35:45.220 No, in a way, it is the government.
00:35:46.720 The people who govern are the government.
00:35:48.160 Now, speaking of a rules-based order, this week I was playing Mr. Matt Walsh at a game of fantasy football.
00:35:59.260 And we made a little bet beforehand.
00:36:01.800 And the bet was that whoever loses has to do certain things, right?
00:36:09.800 And so Matt said, and you can go back to Matt's member blog.
00:36:13.140 Matt said that if he loses, he would have to call me Sweet Daddy Knowles.
00:36:16.760 I would have to take his title in perpetuity until he beats me again at fantasy football.
00:36:23.820 And if I lose, I would have to eat some disgusting sort of food or something that the audience picks.
00:36:31.560 Now it would appear not only is Joe Biden identifying as a Puerto Rican,
00:36:38.560 Matt Walsh is identifying as Welsh because he's trying to welch on his bet.
00:36:43.600 Jake says, Matt, what did you and Michael decide for your bet?
00:36:46.160 Yeah, we talked about this in the members block on Friday.
00:36:48.540 We were going to have, because we're facing off against each other for fantasy football this week.
00:36:51.920 And we were trying to figure out what our bet would be so the loser would have to do something.
00:36:55.920 And we never decided on it.
00:36:57.500 So I don't think we ever decided what the bet is, which is good because I believe I lost.
00:37:01.980 And we never decided on what the bet is.
00:37:03.280 I don't have to do anything.
00:37:04.060 I'm off the hook.
00:37:05.800 He's off the hook.
00:37:06.560 We never made a bet.
00:37:07.500 Is that true?
00:37:08.640 Is that true, producers?
00:37:09.660 That's not what I saw in the member block.
00:37:12.160 I think we need to go back to his tape.
00:37:14.340 And I think what all of you need to do, all of you faithful listeners out there,
00:37:18.660 you need to tweet at Matt Walsh.
00:37:20.580 And you need to get him to start calling me by my properly well-earned, hard-fought title.
00:37:27.060 Sweet Daddy Knowles.
00:37:28.540 That's what I am now.
00:37:29.500 That's my title.
00:37:30.220 I didn't ask for that title.
00:37:32.200 I earned that title.
00:37:33.340 That title was given to me because I triumphed in the fantasy football battle.
00:37:39.500 So I learned this morning when I came into work.
00:37:41.760 So make sure you check that out.
00:37:44.440 It's really, it's crooked.
00:37:46.000 Matt is crooked if he's not going to make good on his bet.
00:37:49.840 Speaking of crooked plans, crooked plans to reorder the political system.
00:37:55.580 There's a great, a great boast just came out from a Democrat voter mobilization specialist.
00:38:01.500 His name is Antonio Arellano.
00:38:05.140 He's a blue check on Twitter.
00:38:08.000 He says, quote,
00:38:10.660 New U.S. Census Bureau data indicates that Hispanic Texans are now the state's largest demographic group.
00:38:19.480 Latinos can turn Texas blue.
00:38:23.300 Okay, do you see what he's saying?
00:38:24.720 He's saying that the more Latinos there are in Texas, the greater the chance that Texas will become a Democrat state.
00:38:34.640 And because the Democrats are flooding Texas with Latinos intentionally by opening up the borders,
00:38:40.680 this is really good news for Democrats.
00:38:42.800 And the Census Bureau data reflect that.
00:38:45.320 As they show that Hispanic Texans are now the largest demo group in the state.
00:38:49.300 Great news.
00:38:50.060 We're about to go blue.
00:38:51.100 This echoes something Joe Biden said at the Hispanic Heritage Reception.
00:38:56.740 He said, think about it.
00:38:57.960 No joke.
00:38:59.380 When in American history has there been a circumstance where one ethnicity has the potential to make such a profound impact on a country?
00:39:06.960 26% of every single child who's in school today speaks Spanish.
00:39:11.740 We've had large waves of immigration before.
00:39:13.600 But the thing is, you just have enormous opportunity to make this country so much better.
00:39:17.360 I really mean it, as my father would say, let's go get him.
00:39:21.680 Come on, Jack.
00:39:22.400 Let's go get him.
00:39:23.860 So what's he saying?
00:39:24.760 He's saying, look, we've had big migration before, but never like this.
00:39:28.480 And it's all the Latinos.
00:39:31.000 And that's really going to help our political agenda.
00:39:33.540 It's going to make the country better, by which we mean it's going to make the country more Democrat.
00:39:38.580 It's going to make the country more liberal.
00:39:40.280 It's going to make the country more leftist.
00:39:41.780 It kind of sounds to me, and I don't want to, it kind of sounds to me like a theory that if you replace the population of the country with Latino immigrants in a really big way, like a really large way, like a really great way,
00:40:03.920 that then the Democrats will have an enduring political advantage.
00:40:10.160 What can we call this theory?
00:40:12.320 So it's a theory that's being posited by well-known established Democrats, not just Democrat strategists, but even the president himself.
00:40:20.640 It's a theory being advanced about how if there were some sort of great replacement of the people in America with immigrants from Latin America, that the Democrats would get a lot more power.
00:40:37.720 I can't think of a name for this theory.
00:40:41.060 If you think of a name for this theory about how there could be a great replacement, just let me know maybe in the comments, because I can't, I don't know, maybe I just haven't slept very well this week.
00:40:50.460 But I think whatever we call it, that's the theory that the Democrats are advancing.
00:40:57.880 Now, of course, the Democrats think this is good.
00:41:01.460 And so if you observe this trend, the idea that mass migration is intended to just give the, to displace the people of the United States and give the Democrats more of an advantage,
00:41:12.160 if you say that's good, then the theory is true and you are allowed to say it.
00:41:17.060 But if you think that's bad that that is happening, that what the Democrats are saying is happening is happening, if you think that's bad, then it's not true.
00:41:26.280 It's false.
00:41:26.840 It's a dangerous conspiracy theory and it's got to be censored.
00:41:29.920 It's the same thing.
00:41:30.860 You'd be saying the same thing.
00:41:32.160 But if you say Democrats are flooding the country with migrants to gain a political advantage,
00:41:40.140 they'd say, okay, very good.
00:41:42.920 Yes, very good.
00:41:43.800 Let's promote that post on social media.
00:41:46.120 Yes, you're right.
00:41:47.140 You could say that on the morning shows.
00:41:48.540 But if you say Democrats are flooding the country with foreign nationals to gain a political advantage,
00:41:53.400 they'd say, no, false, you're a racist, you're a racist Nazi, you're a white supremacist, bigot, conspiracy, tinfoil hat.
00:42:04.480 But I just, I said the same thing.
00:42:05.860 I just, I just changed my cadence at the very end.
00:42:09.300 I just changed it.
00:42:10.440 Yeah, right.
00:42:11.500 That's what makes all the difference.
00:42:13.380 Speaking of things you're not allowed to say,
00:42:14.860 I mentioned earlier that I was in Delaware last night,
00:42:18.520 pinch hitting for Candace Owens at her speech she was supposed to give.
00:42:22.220 Because Candace flew to Paris to open a fashion show with Kanye West,
00:42:27.920 which is the sort of thing that Candace does.
00:42:29.820 And so I didn't hear any more details than this,
00:42:32.460 other than I get a call, Candace is on the tarmac.
00:42:34.700 She says, okay, this is what's happening.
00:42:36.300 And that's it, okay?
00:42:38.160 Then I tune in.
00:42:39.480 I wait for the international trending news and I see it.
00:42:42.240 The shirt that Candace and Kanye wore is a shirt.
00:42:45.820 You can see the photo from the back.
00:42:46.820 It says, white lives matter.
00:42:49.960 Candace there with a white shirt and black print, white lives matter.
00:42:54.020 Kanye there, black shirt, white print, white lives matter.
00:42:59.020 I love it.
00:43:00.640 I absolutely love it.
00:43:03.360 They're getting some pushback.
00:43:04.640 Obviously, they're getting pushback from the libs
00:43:06.280 because the libs want to say black lives matter.
00:43:09.080 And they're getting some pushback from the people in the middle
00:43:11.640 because they say, oh, you shouldn't say black lives matter
00:43:13.460 or white lives matter.
00:43:14.300 You should just say all lives matter.
00:43:17.180 But Kanye and Candace get it, okay?
00:43:20.700 They get it.
00:43:21.340 Obviously, they're being intentionally provocative.
00:43:23.080 It's a fashion show.
00:43:23.860 That's what you do at fashion shows.
00:43:26.220 But they get the point here.
00:43:28.320 Why would you say white lives matter?
00:43:30.200 Well, from a racial standpoint,
00:43:32.060 as long as we're talking about black lives
00:43:33.200 or all lives or white lives,
00:43:34.980 from a racial standpoint, what they're saying is,
00:43:38.500 I think, I don't want to speak for Candace,
00:43:40.280 but this is just my interpretation of the shirt.
00:43:44.520 Right now, we have been told for years
00:43:46.720 that black people are marginalized
00:43:48.140 and discriminated against and insulted
00:43:50.240 and pushed to the margins of society.
00:43:52.320 And that's why we need to say black lives matter.
00:43:54.660 But that's not true.
00:43:56.080 Actually, there is no legal discrimination
00:43:58.920 or systemic discrimination
00:44:00.060 or really discrimination at all,
00:44:02.880 certainly not at a large scale,
00:44:04.380 against black people.
00:44:05.860 In fact, there's discrimination in favor of black people
00:44:08.040 through things like affirmative action,
00:44:10.380 through certain applications of the civil rights laws,
00:44:13.140 through the culture, certainly,
00:44:15.840 through the popular media.
00:44:18.000 The only group that you are actually legally,
00:44:22.380 both legally allowed to discriminate against
00:44:24.200 and culturally encouraged to discriminate against
00:44:27.180 and insult and mock and push to the fringes of society,
00:44:30.780 the only racial group is white people.
00:44:32.800 That's what happens.
00:44:33.740 It's the only group you're allowed to make fun of on TV.
00:44:35.380 It's the only group.
00:44:37.400 White people and Asians,
00:44:38.380 you're allowed to discriminate against
00:44:39.500 in college admissions.
00:44:41.340 And so, I don't know,
00:44:42.280 it's unfortunate for the Asians
00:44:43.480 that they got lumped in with the white people.
00:44:45.980 But that's in jobs,
00:44:49.480 in employment, in all sorts of things.
00:44:53.000 It's the white people.
00:44:54.140 And so, Kanye and Candace are coming out there
00:44:56.860 and provocatively saying,
00:44:58.220 putting racial issues aside,
00:45:00.260 they're saying, as they frequently have,
00:45:02.600 the narrative that you are being fed
00:45:05.920 by the liberal establishment
00:45:07.680 is not only false,
00:45:10.020 it's the opposite of true.
00:45:12.820 If they're actually presenting a vision of reality,
00:45:15.760 the LeBron James,
00:45:16.660 black men can't walk out their doors
00:45:18.280 without being hunted down by racist cops.
00:45:20.080 It's just completely made up.
00:45:22.340 The only people who are being hunted down
00:45:23.820 by the government right now
00:45:24.800 because of their identity
00:45:25.900 are white conservatives.
00:45:27.600 They're like Midwestern grannies
00:45:29.520 who have the audacity
00:45:31.380 to raise some questions
00:45:32.980 about the 2020 election, okay?
00:45:34.480 Or pro-life activists on the sidewalk.
00:45:37.340 Or parents of all races
00:45:40.300 who don't want their kids
00:45:41.780 to be taught CRT
00:45:43.800 and transgenderism in schools.
00:45:46.580 Okay?
00:45:46.960 But then, it's even more interesting
00:45:48.340 with the Kanye shirt
00:45:49.240 because you couldn't see it in the picture,
00:45:50.880 but on the front of the Kanye shirt
00:45:51.980 is a picture of John Paul II.
00:45:55.340 And it says,
00:45:56.940 we will follow your example.
00:46:00.000 John Paul II.
00:46:01.960 So, what?
00:46:04.600 White Lives Matter on the back,
00:46:06.280 John Paul II on the front.
00:46:07.300 And then it hit me.
00:46:08.220 Again, maybe I'm reading too deeply into it.
00:46:11.200 But it hit me at a higher level
00:46:14.560 than just this kind of silly talk about race.
00:46:18.060 Is the point that Kanye is making
00:46:19.760 a little deeper than that?
00:46:20.620 Because the Pope wears white.
00:46:21.980 John Paul II wore white.
00:46:23.580 Benedict wore white.
00:46:24.660 Francis wears white.
00:46:25.440 The Pope wears white.
00:46:26.660 A white Zucchetto,
00:46:27.400 a white Mozzetta,
00:46:29.320 a white cassock.
00:46:31.420 That's the symbol of the Pope.
00:46:33.860 And is he suggesting something
00:46:34.960 a little deeper here?
00:46:35.840 That when we're talking about
00:46:37.200 white lives matter,
00:46:38.840 we're not just talking about race.
00:46:41.780 We're talking about
00:46:42.940 something deeper.
00:46:45.060 We're talking about a symbol,
00:46:47.140 not of a particular racial group,
00:46:48.840 but of purity.
00:46:50.060 A symbol of the soul.
00:46:51.740 A symbol of the soul after baptism.
00:46:53.700 And a symbol of a soul
00:46:55.840 wearing a sort of white garment.
00:46:58.400 These images that we see in paradise.
00:47:00.220 We know that Kanye has had a conversion
00:47:02.780 or reversion sort of experience to Christianity.
00:47:04.880 We know he talks about religious themes a lot.
00:47:06.520 We know he has an album called
00:47:07.360 Jesus is King.
00:47:09.080 Is there maybe a suggestion here
00:47:10.860 on this provocative shirt
00:47:12.440 that actually,
00:47:14.100 not only is the BLM narrative bogus,
00:47:17.020 we're going to debunk and own that
00:47:18.480 with facts and logic and provocation,
00:47:20.360 but the whole racial narrative
00:47:22.900 is kind of a distraction
00:47:24.320 from what we should really be talking about,
00:47:27.080 which is deeper,
00:47:28.580 not just cultural,
00:47:29.440 but actually ultimately religious
00:47:30.900 because ultimately all human conflict
00:47:32.580 is theological.
00:47:33.980 That's my read on it.
00:47:35.360 Again, I don't know.
00:47:36.200 I don't know that that's what was going
00:47:37.640 through Kanye's head.
00:47:38.620 I actually don't really care.
00:47:40.480 Very often the greatest artists
00:47:42.160 are not critics of their own work.
00:47:44.380 Very often the greatest artists
00:47:45.400 don't even consciously know
00:47:46.800 what they are doing.
00:47:48.100 And this has been written about
00:47:49.140 going all the way back to ancient Greece.
00:47:50.820 The idea that the artists
00:47:51.980 are just sort of
00:47:52.940 receiving inspiration from the muses
00:47:55.760 and then they're just doing stuff.
00:47:57.180 And the reason there's a difference
00:47:58.240 between artists and critics
00:47:59.360 is because very often the artists
00:48:01.040 couldn't even articulate
00:48:02.100 exactly what they're doing.
00:48:03.380 They're producing the art
00:48:04.500 and it's up to the critics
00:48:05.300 to interpret.
00:48:06.200 That sort of art.
00:48:09.240 Speaking of lives mattering,
00:48:11.120 speaking of a popular disregard
00:48:12.840 for human life,
00:48:14.340 new details are emerging.
00:48:15.860 I mentioned this a few days ago,
00:48:17.460 maybe last week,
00:48:18.480 this shooting of
00:48:19.780 the 84-year-old pro-life lady
00:48:22.000 in Michigan,
00:48:23.260 this retired nurse,
00:48:24.200 Joan Jacobson,
00:48:26.140 and shot by this crazy man,
00:48:28.920 a 74-year-old guy
00:48:29.860 named Richard Harvey,
00:48:31.420 who says he fired off
00:48:32.700 a warning shot
00:48:33.500 from his .22 caliber rifle
00:48:35.080 when he heard his wife
00:48:36.420 arguing with this pro-life
00:48:37.700 canvasser lady.
00:48:38.880 And then he says
00:48:40.340 he tried to push away
00:48:41.420 Jacobson's clipboard
00:48:42.520 and said he accidentally
00:48:43.920 shot her
00:48:44.640 in the front of her shoulder.
00:48:46.160 Accidentally.
00:48:46.680 Fires a warning shot.
00:48:47.380 He knows the gun is loaded.
00:48:48.600 He's brandishing his gun
00:48:49.580 and pushing this 84-year-old lady away
00:48:51.100 and shoots her in the shoulder.
00:48:53.000 And she says,
00:48:54.520 I do think that he knew
00:48:55.600 what he was doing.
00:48:56.780 She says,
00:48:57.100 I think it was intentional.
00:48:58.840 This woman is 120 pounds
00:49:00.260 and five feet tall.
00:49:02.160 She says she didn't refuse
00:49:03.300 to leave their property
00:49:04.060 when they asked.
00:49:05.180 She says she never,
00:49:06.280 she didn't threaten anybody
00:49:07.220 or anything like that.
00:49:08.760 Certainly though,
00:49:09.760 there is no reason
00:49:11.860 to be brandishing a gun
00:49:13.380 at an 84-year-old woman
00:49:14.820 who's five feet tall.
00:49:16.300 Ever.
00:49:17.440 Even if she's coming at you
00:49:18.620 with a hammer, okay,
00:49:19.540 there's no reason
00:49:20.400 to have a gun,
00:49:21.180 certainly not a loaded gun,
00:49:22.480 and to shoot her.
00:49:23.000 So why do I bring this up?
00:49:24.180 Because there was,
00:49:26.140 you want to make sure
00:49:26.960 you're getting the full story here.
00:49:28.400 We still don't really know
00:49:29.700 the full story.
00:49:30.520 But what we do know is,
00:49:33.100 as the full story is coming out,
00:49:35.240 it is continuing to look terrible
00:49:37.200 for this guy.
00:49:38.980 And the way you know this,
00:49:40.280 by the way,
00:49:40.580 is that the left-wing media
00:49:42.420 are not covering the story.
00:49:43.940 If the story really were,
00:49:45.120 you know,
00:49:45.300 this awful woman
00:49:46.200 was threatening them,
00:49:47.080 and you'd be hearing about it
00:49:48.020 from the media.
00:49:49.100 But you're seeing the media
00:49:49.980 cover up this story.
00:49:51.000 And so as the details come out,
00:49:52.460 yeah, maybe there's
00:49:53.080 some complication here.
00:49:54.060 Maybe the pro-life lady
00:49:55.940 was arguing with the woman.
00:49:57.940 No, I'm not even sure
00:49:58.560 that that's the case.
00:50:00.620 But as the details come out,
00:50:03.200 we continue to look right.
00:50:05.360 Okay, right and right
00:50:06.600 and right and right.
00:50:07.560 And I do think people
00:50:08.860 are starting to notice that.
00:50:11.560 Whether they can
00:50:12.300 take that noticing
00:50:13.480 and take that desire
00:50:15.620 and channel it
00:50:17.080 into better government,
00:50:17.900 that remains to be seen.
00:50:19.400 The rest of the show
00:50:20.500 is continuing now.

00:50:27.400 We have a great interview
00:50:28.240 coming up.
00:50:29.500 It's with Michael Schellenberger.
00:50:31.840 Michael Schellenberger
00:50:32.700 is a really,
00:50:33.640 really important voice
00:50:34.820 on environmental issues.
00:50:37.760 And Michael Schellenberger
00:50:38.660 is shedding some light
00:50:40.960 on what I think are
00:50:42.440 not only the ludicrous,
00:50:44.500 but downright offensive
00:50:45.840 Democrat claims
00:50:47.000 about Hurricane Ian
00:50:48.260 and all the destruction
00:50:50.500 down in Florida,
00:50:52.080 which they blame
00:50:53.660 on global warming
00:50:54.760 and those mean old conservatives
00:50:56.560 who don't want to recycle
00:50:57.940 or whatever,
00:50:59.040 drive Teslas.
00:51:00.840 And Schellenberger
00:51:02.080 brings a little bit
00:51:02.700 of science to that.
00:51:03.460 So we will get to him
00:51:04.300 in just one second.
00:51:05.320 See you over
00:51:05.600 at the member block.
00:51:06.120 We'll be right back.
