The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1126 - Kari Lake Knows BS When She Sees It

00:00:00.000 On the seventh day of counting the ballots, the major news networks have finally called

00:00:04.640 the Arizona governor's race for the Democrat. We all knew this was how it was going to turn out.

00:00:12.520 We knew from the moment that they dragged the count on past election day, the longer the ballot

00:00:17.580 counting takes, the more likely the races are to go to the Democrats. Coincidentally, what are the

00:00:25.000 odds? So in a race that involved more than two and a half million votes, just about 20,000 ballots

00:00:31.880 have determined that Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who coincidentally was the official

00:00:37.220 in charge of this very election, will be the next governor of Arizona over Carrie Lake, 1.00

00:00:43.660 who had been campaigning specifically on rooting out corruption in the electoral process.

00:00:49.080 The national GOP seems ready, happy even, to move on from Carrie Lake and from the whole MAGA

00:00:58.340 movement. Carrie Lake remains defiant. Her response on Twitter was, Arizonans know BS when they see it.

00:01:06.340 Love her. Love her. In any case, Carrie Lake's apparent loss was supposed to be the final nail

00:01:13.640 in the coffin of MAGA. And it may well be. But Donald Trump seems to be launching one last effort

00:01:21.020 to keep his movement alive. And that announcement is scheduled to take place down at Mar-a-Lago just

00:01:28.640 some hours from now. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:33.140 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from OldSchooled, who says,

00:01:44.480 running a Biden-Fetterman ticket for 2024 would be a no-brainer.

00:01:51.780 Waka waka. That one got me when I first read that comment. Good job, OldSchooled. OldSchooled has

00:01:58.420 showed up before on the best comment of the day. And that one, that was pretty good. And as our

00:02:05.560 national policy is increasingly led by people who don't know what they're doing, who don't have the

00:02:11.380 tightest grip on reality, you are going to want to make sure that your assets are in things that are

00:02:16.400 really tangible, which is why you got to check out Birch Gold. Right now, text Knowles to 989898.

00:02:22.280 Inflation continues to bedevil our economy. The Daily Wire reports that in less than two years,

00:02:26.760 inflation has soared from 1.4 percent to 8.6 percent. As of May 2022, the price of gas was

00:02:33.520 up nearly 49 percent. The price of meat, poultry, and fish was up 14.2 percent. And the price of used

00:02:39.380 cars was up 16 percent. The current administration's irresponsible spending patterns, including

00:02:44.540 Biden's $1.9 trillion rescue plan, continues to exacerbate the problem. Now is not the time to have

00:02:53.060 all your money tied up in the stock market. Don't let your savings wither away. Hedge against

00:02:57.040 inflation with gold from Birch Gold. Text Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S, to 989898. And Birch Gold will

00:03:40.060 I have a lot of thoughts about this Arizona election. I have shared some of them. I have insinuated some of

00:03:46.800 what I'm thinking about this election. But I'm not, you know, I'm, listen, I'm on YouTube. I'm not really

00:03:51.400 officially allowed to say what I think about this election. So I'll let Marjorie Taylor Greene say

00:03:59.500 it instead. I believe there was a lot of election fraud in the 2020 election. Absolutely, I do.

00:04:04.880 I think that any time that we turn election day into election month, we create a big opening with

00:04:11.280 mail-in ballots and absentee ballots. That's a giant opening for fraud. And I believe in safe

00:04:17.100 elections, and I think that's something that every single voter wants to see happen, happen. And you're

00:04:22.220 hearing it from people all over the country right now. It's, it is completely absurd that they are

00:04:27.720 slowly counting ballots out in districts like in California, Arizona, and other states. We look like

00:04:34.060 the laughingstock of the world. There's foreign, there's other countries that do it in one day and 0.85

00:04:39.240 count all of their ballots up and they get their elections done. I can't imagine why in the United

00:04:44.280 States of America, we can't accomplish this in one day. And I think it looks ridiculous. 0.97

00:04:49.020 Preach it, lady. She's talking about 2020 and she's talking about 2022 and absolutely preach it. 0.77

00:04:56.640 She's saying we're the laughingstock of the world. We can't conduct our own elections.

00:05:00.760 And that's totally true. I remember Antonin Scalia made the same point after the 2000 presidential

00:05:06.160 election, which by the way, did not hinge on how to count the ballots. It hinged on how and if to

00:05:12.600 recount the ballots. We actually got the ballot count pretty quickly in 2000. What happened was

00:05:17.820 Al Gore dragged out recount after recount after, well, what about the hanging chads? Well, after,

00:05:23.520 well, the Florida Supreme Court said this, but who cares? Let's take it to the US Supreme Court. And

00:05:27.140 he just dragged the whole thing out. Talk about election denial or whatever they call it now.

00:05:32.460 Scalia said it's pathetic. We're supposed to be the world's greatest democracy. We can't even 0.95

00:05:37.660 conduct our own elections. And now we can just never get the results on election night. Now we

00:05:42.940 see articles that are boosted on social media from all the mainstream platforms that say,

00:05:48.380 here's why it actually takes weeks to count the ballots. Because you're rigging it. That's the only

00:05:54.780 reason why. You can't use COVID as an excuse anymore. Last time they said, well, because of this cough that

00:06:01.500 has been going on for a couple of years now, well, I guess in the 2000 election, just about one year

00:06:06.840 now, there's been this cough from China. That's why we have to change all the election laws and get rid 1.00

00:06:11.120 of all the election integrity protections. But that doesn't work anymore. COVID is over. And they're

00:06:15.660 just doing it because it gives the Democrats an unfair advantage. And very few people are willing to

00:06:20.380 call that out. People say, where's the evidence? The rigging is the evidence. Where's the evidence?

00:06:28.500 The fact that the libs have changed all the rules and gotten rid of so many of the protections that

00:06:35.820 were put in place specifically to preserve election integrity, like election day, like all the poll

00:06:42.340 watchers, like suppressing widespread mail-in ballots, like voter ID, like all of that. The fact that the libs

00:06:49.000 are getting rid of all those protections is prima facie evidence of fraud. That's it. And very few,

00:06:57.240 even Republicans have the courage to call that out. And Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of the people who

00:07:02.020 is doing it, which is why I like that lady. A lot of fancy people who wear fancy neckties and consider 1.00

00:07:07.620 themselves part of the real sophisticate set, they don't want to be associated with Marjorie Taylor

00:07:11.580 Greene because I guess she said some kooky things in the past and she's not very posh and clubbable. 0.96

00:07:17.140 But Marjorie Taylor Greene is a much more serious person than Mitt Romney. Okay? Marjorie Taylor

00:07:24.220 Greene is a much more serious person than so many of these stooges in the GOP establishment who do

00:07:30.380 absolutely nothing other than turn a blind eye to Democrat corruption and allow the liberal ruling

00:07:35.360 class to continue to wield and exercise power. Okay? And she's calling it like she sees it. And so 1.00

00:07:41.300 is Carrie Lake. Carrie Lake is not just saying, oh, well, all right, on day seven of the voting count,

00:07:46.520 I guess they got enough for Katie Hobbs and that's that. Now I will go quietly into the night. No,

00:07:51.680 she's saying this is BS. I'm going to fight this nonsense as best I can. Absolutely. Between those

00:07:59.440 two choices, the really clubbable, nice touch of gray, fitted, beautiful suit, Mitt Romney set of the

00:08:07.280 GOP who do nothing other than lose and the fight them tooth and nail kind of set who are willing to

00:08:15.260 call out collusion, real collusion between the Democrats and big tech and the bureaucracy and

00:08:21.900 the news media and the ones who maybe aren't quite so sophisticated sounding, but they have their

00:08:28.820 priorities in order. I'm with them. Okay? That's my set. Now, it's not all bad news. The Republicans,

00:08:35.700 though we've lost the Senate, though we've lost some important governorships, NBC News even is

00:08:41.160 projecting that the GOP is poised to retake control of the House. Now, it's going to be a really narrow

00:08:47.960 margin. According to the NBC News projection, the House of Representatives will be 219 Republicans,

00:08:56.900 216 Democrats. So all the Democrats will have to do is pry away a few Republicans and then they can push

00:09:05.380 through their agenda because then they'll have the Senate and then they have the White House so they can 0.98

00:09:08.900 get done whatever they want to get done. That's not the kind of margin that you want to see.

00:09:12.940 Now, if Republicans have control of the House, what's good is that the Speaker of the House,

00:09:17.920 presumably Kevin McCarthy or some Republican leader, maybe McCarthy will face a challenge after

00:09:22.440 this weak performance in the midterms, at least the Speaker of the House can refuse to take up certain

00:09:28.520 bills. He will have certain procedural power to quash some Democrat priorities. And one of those

00:09:35.860 priorities that any Republican speaker should fight, one of those priorities that any Republicans in the

00:09:44.360 Senate should fight is one of the most radical bills I have ever seen go through our Congress.

00:09:51.280 It is a bill to radically redefine marriage. It is a bill to enshrine into law the Obergefell decision,

00:09:59.960 which was a constitutionally preposterous decision to invent a new definition of marriage and

00:10:05.700 shoehorn it into the constitution somewhere. Chuck Schumer is now saying, according to CNN's

00:10:13.360 congressional correspondent, that he has got 60 votes to ram this bill through. Don't forget,

00:10:20.900 the Senate still has a filibuster, so Schumer doesn't just need a bare majority. Schumer needs 60

00:10:25.740 votes, which means he needs Republicans to vote to radically redefine marriage and to punish people

00:10:30.700 for opposing this insane, absolutely incoherent definition of marriage that flies in the face of

00:10:37.020 all of civilized tradition, every major religion, and human reason in the natural law.

00:10:43.860 I'll put this into no uncertain terms because I know that conservatives even and certainly Republicans

00:10:50.040 are kind of mixed on the issue of how to define marriage. But when it comes to this bill,

00:10:54.440 any Republican who votes for the radical redefinition of marriage bill should be expelled

00:11:01.440 from the party. Any Republican. And I'm just laying this out there now so that the Republicans

00:11:08.260 understand that there actually is still some opposition to this, that there are actually still

00:11:12.940 some people who are willing to defend the actual definition of marriage that every single human

00:11:17.320 being on earth, including Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, believed up until about five minutes ago.

00:11:21.560 Because it is just a fact of reality and no amount of semantic gamesmanship or romantic poetry from the

00:11:28.380 Supreme Court can change it. Any Republican who supports this nonsense should be expelled from the

00:11:33.860 party. And these Republicans are probably going to be thinking, well, look, if five of us or six of us 0.84

00:11:40.960 or 10 of us support this bill, they're not going to be able to primary all of us. There's not going to

00:11:45.520 be the political will. There's not going to be enough money for it. Fair enough. So what I think we should

00:11:49.980 make clear right now is the Republicans who support this bill, and there will be a few squishes,

00:11:55.480 I think that conservatives who still understand what conservatism means and what marriage means,

00:12:00.240 we should pick one of them. We should pick the weakest one of them, the one who we can most,

00:12:06.300 least expensively primary and kick out of office, and we should concert our effort to remove that

00:12:12.780 Republican. Okay, so I don't know who that Republican is going to be. Is it going to be

00:12:17.300 Mitt Romney? Is it going to be some other squish? Whoever it is, we should pick that person and make

00:12:22.740 an example of that person. And we should turn all of our political firepower on that person 0.62

00:12:27.480 to remove him from office, to send a message that we will not stand idly by while the conservatives,

00:12:35.120 quote unquote, squish on everything that matters, including the fundamental political institution,

00:12:40.440 which is the family, which is marriage, just so that we can, I don't know what, maybe get some tax

00:12:45.800 cuts sometimes for some gazillionaires in Silicon Valley who hate our guts anyway.

00:12:52.040 I don't think so. We're not going to do that, all right? That would be the death of conservatism.

00:12:56.620 We're all going to die someday. That's why you need a will. That's why you need to check out Epic Will.

00:14:15.800 Knowles. You know, on this marriage bill, you'll sometimes hear people say, some Republicans or

00:14:23.680 some conservatives who are, or even liberals who are trying to catch us. They'll say, wait,

00:14:27.840 I thought you were the party of small government. I thought Republicans were the party of small

00:14:33.360 government. Now you want to define marriage? Okay, first of all, Republicans are not the party of

00:14:37.540 small government. We are not in theory the party of small government, and we are not in practice the

00:14:42.720 party of small government. The Republican Party was founded on big government. The Republican Party

00:14:47.540 was founded to abolish slavery. Okay, and the first Republican president was Abraham Lincoln. He was

00:14:52.800 a big government conservative. He suspended habeas corpus. Okay, the guy was not small government.

00:14:57.860 Now you might say, well, that's bad. Okay, I'm just telling you the history of the Republican Party.

00:15:00.780 We have had eight Republican presidents since Calvin Coolidge. Not one of them has shrunk the

00:15:07.160 government. Not one of them. Not Eisenhower, not Nixon, not Jerry Ford, not the Bushes, not

00:15:14.720 Reagan, not Trump. Not one of them has shrunk the government. You might say, well, that's bad. Okay,

00:15:20.440 I'm just telling you the history of the Republican Party. We are not the party of small government.

00:15:24.740 We are not the party of reducing the size and scope of government. Sometimes we pretend that we

00:15:28.580 are on television, but that's not actually what the Republican Party does. And I don't even support

00:15:33.480 small government. I don't think there can be a small government in a country of 330 million

00:15:36.680 people that governs a global empire. I like government within its just limits. But that's

00:15:41.960 a different thing. What role does the government have in marriage? Well, I don't know. Marriage is 0.98

00:15:49.180 the fundamental political institution. So if the state does not have some interest in the fundamental

00:15:54.380 political institution, then the state doesn't have an interest in anything. And then we're all

00:15:57.660 anarchists, which we're not. I'm not, at least. I'm no anarchist. Okay, I think we need

00:16:01.860 good rules. We're going to have rules. We're going to have a society. We're going to have laws. And so

00:16:06.860 they should be good rules and not rules that punish good stuff and promote bad stuff, but quite the

00:16:13.220 opposite, which is what you're seeing play out right now with Pornhub. Pornhub is the largest,

00:16:18.820 most mainstream porn company in the world. It's owned by a parent company called Mind Geek.

00:16:24.400 Mind Geek is now being sued into oblivion, and this is a really good thing. The parent company

00:16:31.580 of Pornhub is being sued by a minor child's mother because this porn website allegedly allowed

00:16:39.160 the dissemination of videos and images of her little son being sexually molested by an Alabama 0.74

00:16:45.100 man. This is despite warnings from the authorities to Pornhub. Pornhub still allowed this video

00:16:51.360 to go out there. And so it's, I mean, it's so sick. It's so nauseating to think that this is

00:16:57.920 out there, that it's legal. I think it's a kind of dubious legality that Pornhub is even allowed to

00:17:06.180 exist, but it's tolerated at least by the law enforcement authorities, and that it's making a lot

00:17:12.800 of money. That's awful. And so conservatives need to support this being shut down any way that we can.

00:17:18.740 They were dealt a tough blow some months ago when credit card companies stopped doing business with

00:17:26.340 Mind Geek because of these kind of allegations of child pornography. And the more libertarian-minded

00:17:31.740 conservatives, a lot of them said, no, it's absolutely, we need to defend Pornhub's right

00:17:36.820 to spread filth around the world and addict little kids to pornography. But the conservatives said,

00:17:43.140 okay, good, shut it down. Shut it down. What percentage of my mailbag is young men writing 1.00

00:17:50.200 into me saying they've got sex problems because they were exposed to porn when they were kids?

00:17:53.860 A large percentage of it. When people come up to me at colleges and universities,

00:17:58.000 that's often a problem that they will bring up. It's just awful. It's awful, obviously,

00:18:05.460 for the people being abused in the movies. It's awful for the people who are being addicted to the

00:18:10.840 smut. It's awful for society that we're tolerating this at all. And for what? For the right of these

00:18:19.180 perverts to exploit little children to make an extra buck? There's no right to that. You don't 0.84

00:18:26.060 have a right to that at all. There is a lot more wrong with Pornhub than the fact that there's child

00:18:31.860 pornography on it. There's a lot more in addition to that that is wrong. But if the child porn thing is

00:18:38.740 what's going to take him down, fine by me. Use whatever we can do. Speaking of dubious aspects

00:18:44.080 of our popular culture, and apparently pornographers maybe. I don't know. One of my producers just told

00:18:49.820 me that this girl has done some kind of porn and made a lot of money doing it. Remember Bad Baby? 1.00

00:18:55.880 Bad Baby, spelled with two H's. Bad Baby. She is the girl who went on one of the daytime trash shows 1.00

00:19:01.360 and said, cash me outside. How about that? Remember that? Cash me outside. How about that? 0.98

00:19:05.740 And she became kind of a meme and famous for this. So Bad Baby has just posted a new look.

00:19:12.740 She was a kind of average looking white girl with kind of colorful hair. And now she's posted

00:19:21.120 after some kind of cosmetic or maybe surgical makeover with lots of tan product and things on.

00:19:27.640 she looks kind of like a black woman. And she's dyed her hair jet black. And her skin has been

00:19:36.480 darkened. And she's just presenting herself as a black woman. And so the reason I bring this up 1.00

00:19:42.680 is not because I follow. Oh, her hair was jet black. I'm sorry. Her new image is that it's

00:19:49.020 platinum blonde in a very sort of dyed, out of a can way. And then her skin is extremely dark. 0.89

00:19:56.020 And she's got big, obviously surgically modified lips. And she seems to have had some surgeries. 0.95

00:20:03.120 Anyway, she looks much more like a black woman than she previously did. I bring it up because

00:20:08.840 it tells you everything you need to know about white privilege. 0.85

00:20:14.780 If white privilege existed, black people would pretend to be white because that would give them 1.00

00:20:22.880 a privilege. But that's not what's actually happening. What's actually happening is that

00:20:27.880 white women are pretending to be black. Rachel Dolezal pretends to be black because it gives her 0.98

00:20:35.680 social privilege. Jessica Krug. Do you remember Jessica Krug? She was an NYU professor. She's just

00:20:43.820 a regular old Jewish lady. She pretended for her career that she was not Jewish, but black. 1.00

00:20:49.920 Jennifer Lynn Benton. Jennifer Lynn Benton is a regular old white lady from Indiana. 1.00

00:20:57.000 And she pretended to be black. And she had roles in BLM and all sorts of left-wing activism. 0.83

00:21:05.680 So you got Rachel Dolezal is what? Czech, German, and Swedish. Jessica Krug, Jewish. 0.79

00:21:13.820 Jennifer Lynn Benton. I don't know. She's just some kind of generic combination of whiteness. 1.00

00:21:19.120 All pretending to be black. Even Sachin Littlefeather. Do you remember that? Sachin 0.96

00:21:22.440 Littlefeather was allegedly the Native American who Marlon Brando sent up to receive his Oscar for

00:21:28.260 him and give a protest of the awful treatment of Native Americans. Just came out, she's not Native 1.00

00:21:31.720 American at all. She's just a Mexican lady. Her name's Marie Cruz. She has no connection whatsoever 0.99

00:21:37.480 to the Apache Indians. Because there is no privilege in our present culture associated with whiteness.

00:21:48.600 Actually, there's only disadvantage. It's harder to get into college. It's harder to get a job.

00:21:53.400 But you're the only race that it is not only permitted but encouraged to insult in our culture. 0.52

00:22:03.260 We are told that white people are the only race that you can't be racist against. 0.98

00:22:08.240 So yeah, I'm not surprised at all that Bad Baby wants to look like a black lady. 1.00

00:22:12.100 It just shows you how different the popular perception of reality can be from the reality

00:22:20.880 itself. Another great example of this, Alex Jones. Alex Jones, this is a story I meant to get to it at

00:22:27.680 the end of last week. Alex Jones was just ordered to pay another half billion dollars to the families

00:22:32.680 of the kids who were killed in Sandy Hook Elementary School. So Alex Jones had already been

00:22:42.000 ordered to pay almost a billion dollars. Then there was another lawsuit that demanded that he pay

00:22:48.260 $2.75 trillion. That's the GDP of many countries. And then, in fact, it was the GDP of the United States

00:22:56.320 not all that long ago. And now they're ordering him to pay another half billion. It's going to be

00:23:01.140 $10 gazillion by the time that they're through. I'm not defending Alex Jones. Okay, Alex Jones,

00:23:09.760 he might be the worst guy in the world. I don't know. I don't know Alex Jones.

00:23:13.560 But what he did, the thing that they're making him pay all that money for, essentially was get a

00:23:19.840 story wrong on the air. Alex Jones didn't kill anybody. Alex Jones, he just said things on the

00:23:27.160 air that weren't true. The New York Times has gotten a lot of stories wrong. New York Times got

00:23:34.680 stories wrong that helped lead to the Iraq war. New York Times has gotten stories wrong that led to

00:23:40.860 the Russia collusion hoax. Plenty of people have gotten lots of stories wrong. The way that the

00:23:47.220 establishment media reported on the George Floyd story led to months and months of riots and arson and

00:23:52.620 looting and dozens of deaths. None of them are ever going to have to pay one penny because they've

00:23:57.940 got the power. And what we're told in this, in our silly, absurd culture, is that people like Alex

00:24:05.200 Jones, they've got all the power. And we go after him, we're speaking truth to power. We're taking

00:24:09.280 stuff away from the man. Alex Jones has no power at all. He's just an eccentric guy who sometimes takes

00:24:14.560 his shirt off on air with a microphone in Texas. And they're going to take that microphone away from him

00:24:18.960 if they can. The perception of power in the United States and the way that our political system works

00:24:26.360 is very different from the reality. In America, you basically can never be held to account for

00:24:34.400 libel or defamation. It's very, very difficult. The libs will never be held to account for any of that.

00:24:41.980 Alex Jones will. The right-wing people certainly will.

00:24:46.540 You think Alex Jones is bad in the way that he talks about

00:24:49.840 school shootings in particular? Wait until you hear about how the Washington Post

00:24:54.720 talks about school shootings, which we will get to in one second, only after I tell you about

00:26:12.100 Alex Jones needs to pay trillions of dollars, gazillions of dollars because of the irresponsible

00:26:17.620 way that he talked about a school shooting. Okay, when are we going to apply that standard

00:26:22.220 to the Washington Post? Here is how the Washington Post reported on a shooting at UVA.

00:26:29.760 They said that the shooter at UVA had a troubled childhood, but later flourished.

00:26:44.880 A troubled childhood, but then flourished. Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., 22 years old,

00:26:55.620 is charged with killing three and injuring two others at the University of Virginia. 22-year-old

00:27:03.800 killed three football players, critically injured one other, then the other one was in the hospital

00:27:08.780 as well. And it's basically a puff piece on this guy. Oh, you know, he was a good kid. Oh, well,

00:27:15.940 it was too bad. He, you know, he never, kids would pick on him when he was a kid. You know,

00:27:22.400 he got bullied. He was insulted. Isn't that, he had a, he had a tough childhood, but then he

00:27:26.460 flourished and then he murdered three people. He's an austere religious student at UVA.

00:27:34.560 That's, that's how the Washington Post talks about murderers and terror and Muslim terrorists 0.95

00:27:40.440 and all sorts of things. That gets a complete pass. Alex Jones gets a story raw in the air, 0.96

00:27:48.460 trillions and trillions of dollars. It's, it's not, to quote Adrian Vermeule, the Harvard law professor,

00:27:54.960 when we, when we see this absolute sort of double standard, it's not that it's hypocrisy,

00:28:02.520 it's hierarchy. It's just, there's just one set of rules for the liberals. There's one set of rules

00:28:07.120 for the conservatives. Speaking of troubled childhoods,

00:28:11.460 Nick Cannon now has 11 children with six women and a 12th child on the way. And there was a column

00:28:21.040 in the Daily Wire by Joe Curl. And it said Nick Cannon, I think it was by Joe. And it said Nick

00:28:26.600 Cannon is the worst role model ever. And I have to correct Joe a little bit here. I agree Nick Cannon

00:28:34.180 Cannon is a terrible role model, but he's not the worst role model ever. To Nick Cannon's credit,

00:28:41.840 in our abortive culture, at least he lets his children live. I mean that sincerely.

00:28:49.580 We live in a culture that at least before the Dobbs decision killed 850,000 babies a year.

00:28:56.660 So Nick Cannon is being very irresponsible and there's no way that he can be a proper father to

00:29:01.760 all of these children. And these children are not all going to grow up in the home with Nick Cannon

00:29:06.640 and they're going to miss out on a lot of daddy time. And they're going to have a very skewed

00:29:10.780 understanding of marriage and the relations between men and women. That's all true. That's really

00:29:15.240 unfortunate. At least he didn't kill them. Nick Cannon is more responsible than many,

00:29:24.800 many parents out there today who drive to the Planned Parenthood and kill their kids.

00:29:29.220 Many, many parents. You think in New York, especially when we're talking about black babies, 0.98

00:29:36.060 more black babies are aborted in New York than born. So you want to knock Nick Cannon? Absolutely. 0.98

00:29:42.620 Yeah, the guy, he really needs to shape up. He needs to act like a man. He needs to stop

00:29:46.540 disrespecting the institution of marriage and he needs to be a better father. Yeah, that's true.

00:29:51.660 At least he didn't kill them. The Nick Cannon stuff, by the way, is becoming mainstream. I mean,

00:30:00.900 you're now seeing report after report, weird social media video after weird social media video

00:30:05.600 about how marriages are giving way in a culture that has abandoned the meaning of marriage to

00:30:13.420 polycules. Okay, so this is our polycule. This is everybody. Okay. And we also have two kids, but we

00:30:21.840 don't show them on TikTok. Okay. So me and Kyle have been together for eight years. Been poly the whole time.

00:30:29.720 Okay. Me and Kyle are in a triad with Kit. We have been together, three of us, for three years. We have

00:30:41.240 one child together and she's five. Oh, we don't show the kids on TikTok though. Okay. So me and Kyle

00:30:49.720 and Kit, we're triad. Okay. Okay. Now me and Sam and Kit and Katie met around the same time. I started

00:31:06.760 dating Sam and Kit started dating Katie around the same time. My dogs are going crazy. Okay. So I

00:31:14.780 started dating Sam, Kit started dating Katie. And then just about a little over a month ago,

00:31:20.960 we moved everyone in together. So everyone lives in the same house now. We all live together.

00:31:28.100 It would be funny except for the kids. The kids thing makes it not funny

00:31:33.360 because this is how this poor kid is going to grow up. Multiple kids, I guess.

00:31:40.400 Imagine that someday, even when the kid has grown up, hey, how'd your parents meet? How much time do you

00:31:44.480 have? Well, Kit met Kitty and then Kitty met Davey and then Davey had a relationship with Philip and

00:31:50.920 then that's not the sort of thing you want to be telling your grandkids. That's not a dignified way

00:31:56.860 to live. It's weirder than the Nick Cannon stuff, frankly. Nick Cannon is just pretending that he's

00:32:01.440 some Old Testament wayward king who's got a harem of women, multiple wives, and they're all obviously 0.98

00:32:11.680 aware of one another. It's not good, but it's a little bit more traditional than this nonsense. 0.63

00:32:18.440 And by the way, society broadly condemns what Nick Cannon is doing. But the society is largely

00:32:24.460 encouraging what these weirdos are doing because these weirdos are able to wrap their perversions 0.83

00:32:29.920 and their base desires up in the rainbow flag. Nick Cannon can't do that. Nick Cannon in many ways

00:32:34.200 seems just like an emblem of the patriarchy. Whereas these people, when they say, yeah, I'm dating three

00:32:38.980 people in my household and I've got a kid with one of them and then the other one's got a kid with this

00:32:42.260 one and then we've got three dudes over there in the corner. Oh, love is love. Love is love. Don't 1.00

00:32:46.880 yuck my yum. You know, come on, man. We're all, just be tolerant, just be understanding. And then

00:32:51.980 in our insane culture, we've got to say, wow, you're right. I just hadn't thought about it that

00:32:55.720 way. You're right. You're in a polycule, man. That's cool. And by the way, when we take away the

00:33:00.660 meaning of marriage, what is to say that marriage won't soon come to define this? There's no limiting

00:33:06.320 principle on it whatsoever. I've got the language here, by the way, from the marriage bill.

00:33:12.620 The marriage bill will allegedly protect all religious liberty and conscious protections 0.53

00:33:18.460 under the constitution or federal law. And it will confirm that nonprofit religious organizations will

00:33:24.740 not be required to provide services, facilities, or goods for the solemnization or celebration of a

00:33:29.920 marriage. Okay, now notice that right here, by the way. They say a nonprofit religious organization

00:33:34.480 will not be required to get along with the new definition of marriage, with gay marriage.

00:33:39.620 What about businesses? They're throwing poor Jack Phillips under the bus. They're throwing

00:33:44.580 Masterpiece Cake Shop under the bus. They're saying private companies and private artists will have

00:33:49.140 to participate in gay marriages, even if it violates their religious beliefs. Religious Christians and

00:33:53.660 Jews and Muslims, you're going to have to participate in gay marriages now if you don't want us to take 1.00

00:33:57.740 your business away from you. And then it says, guarantees that this bill may not be used to deny or alter

00:34:03.060 any benefit, right, or status to any person or entity, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, and then,

00:34:08.960 oh, here we go. It makes clear that the bill does not require or authorize the federal government

00:34:15.100 to recognize polygamous marriages. Yet, yet, why not? First of all, how pathetic is this? This is what 0.81

00:34:23.380 conservatism means now. Hey, look, I'm totally fine with radically redefining the bedrock social

00:34:32.200 institution. But polygamy is too far. That's where I draw the line, okay? Listen, I'm a conservative.

00:34:39.000 I'm going to draw the line. Listen, I'm totally fine with normalizing all sorts of sexual deviancy,

00:34:46.060 but I draw the line at pedophilia for kids under eight. Okay, well, listen, I'm a conservative. I draw

00:34:52.640 the line at kids under seven. They've already done this with the sex surgery. It used to be no weird

00:34:57.400 transgender surgery because that's disordered, and we don't encourage people to mutilate themselves.

00:35:02.220 Now, it's okay, but not until they turn 18. Okay, but not until they turn 16. Okay, but not until

00:35:08.300 they turn 12. Now, the best law on this in the country is from Ron DeSantis in Florida,

00:35:12.620 and it says you can't trans the kids until third grade, up until third grade. So starting in fourth

00:35:19.640 grade, that's when they can be indoctrinated into LGBT. And by the way, it's the best law in the country. 0.98

00:35:23.780 This is the most conservative law we've got. And they've actually done, okay, but only once you

00:35:29.120 turn nine. My friend Vivek Ramaswamy dubbed it the wait till eight bill. And that's where it's going.

00:35:36.660 So there's no reason to believe that this marriage law will actually prohibit polygamy for very long,

00:35:43.060 because why would it? The argument for the real meaning of marriage is that marriage is in its very

00:35:50.040 nature, the union of one man and one woman for the sake of the generation and education of children.

00:35:55.060 That's just what it is. Ontologically, that's what it is. The argument for redefining marriage is love

00:36:00.880 is love, man. And Anthony Kennedy is there on the Supreme Court. He's like, we got a right to intimacy.

00:36:08.780 You know, man, and it's like, this is the dawning of the age of Aquarius, right? So if that's the

00:36:14.920 argument for it, it's just love is love. And whoever likes each other, they can just say that they're

00:36:18.560 married. How on earth could you possibly prohibit polygamy from that definition? That would violate

00:36:24.860 the very premise of the redefinition. So get ready for a polycule near you. You know, last year,

00:36:32.860 we launched our daily news podcast, Morning Wire. In this short period of time, it's become one of the

00:36:37.440 top news podcasts. New episodes are available every morning, seven days a week, and they cover stories

00:36:42.300 other media outlets won't touch. So check out Morning Wire on Daily Wire Plus, Apple Podcasts, Spotify,

00:36:47.040 or wherever you listen to podcasts.

00:36:53.840 Speaking of mental illness, horrible, terrifying news coming out of Canada. And Canada is usually 1.00

00:37:01.280 at the avant-garde here. America's top hat is usually just a few steps ahead of where we are headed. So

00:37:06.920 you got to be prepared for this to come to the United States. We got to fight it tooth and nail.

00:37:12.480 Canada is now encouraging mentally ill people to kill themselves. Canada has just passed 0.99

00:37:22.500 an assisted suicide right. The Canadian Supreme Court discovered some right to kill yourself. Of 0.52

00:37:29.100 course, there is no right to kill yourself because there's no right to do wrong. And killing oneself is

00:37:34.980 a grave, grave sin and a violation of the law of self-preservation. And it's just absolutely

00:37:42.020 no bueno. But one of the arguments against assisted suicide, even the softest arguments for it,

00:37:50.000 well, what if someone is in intense pain and they've got a fatal illness, terminal illness that

00:37:54.800 they're certainly going to die from very soon? Don't you think it's all right to just kind of up the

00:37:58.840 drugs and kill them? And I don't think that that's right at all. But that argument works on a lot of 0.98

00:38:04.820 people. Then one of the arguments against that is, well, it's a slippery slope. It's a very slippery

00:38:09.660 slope. And pretty soon, it's not just going to be those terminally ill cancer patients on the brink

00:38:14.200 of death in intense pain who are opting for doctor-assisted suicide. Pretty soon, it's going to

00:38:19.640 be people who are younger, who are a little healthier, who are depressed, who have mental illness,

00:38:24.880 who are poor. And now you're seeing this play out right now in Canada.

00:38:30.080 Are you afraid to die? Who isn't?

00:38:35.280 Yeah, I mean, it, it, uh, I am.

00:38:41.360 Amir Farsud has applied for medically assisted dying, known as MAID. He lives in constant agony due

00:38:47.760 to a back injury, but has started the process for end of life because his rooming house is up for sale

00:38:53.260 and he can't find anywhere else to live that he can afford. He barely survives on Ontario

00:38:58.380 disability support payments, which are just over $1,200 a month. He doesn't want to die,

00:39:04.540 but being homeless is not an option.

00:39:06.940 I know in my present health condition, I wouldn't survive it anyway.

00:39:10.360 Farsud meets the criteria for MAID, physical suffering due to disability that cannot be relieved.

00:39:16.660 His doctor, who knows Farsud's real reason for MAID is his fear of being homeless,

00:39:21.860 signed off on the application in August. Farsud needs a second to do the same.

00:39:27.280 There's a 90 day waiting period. He believes he could potentially access MAID in about a month.

00:39:33.140 I don't wish to be dead. Um, even with the pain, even with the meds, um, I still want to be here.

00:39:41.080 Only the most evil society would tolerate this and encourage this. I mean, this, this is as evil as it

00:39:50.740 gets. We, we talk about the Nazis, you know, we invoke the Nazis in every single historical

00:39:56.420 comparison that anyone makes because they don't have any historical frame of reference.

00:40:01.500 Telling our most vulnerable people, killing off our most vulnerable people.

00:40:05.560 That is, that is whatever you accuse the Nazis of. That is, that is it. That is it. We are the 0.87

00:40:11.460 baddies. If we do that, we are as bad as it can possibly get. If we do this, we're already pretty

00:40:21.160 bad. We kill 850,000 babies a year here in the United States. And then on top of that, we're going

00:40:26.720 to kill our elderly, our poor elderly. If you've ever had an aging relative, you know that at, when 0.98

00:40:33.900 it comes to later stages of life, people feel they're a burden on their families. People feel

00:40:38.920 there's a big cost. They need to be taken care of a lot more. They get depressed. I'm sure if this

00:40:43.920 were an option, many, many people out of a feeling of despair and guilt for putting their family through

00:40:52.380 some difficulty would take this. It's not as though if you legalize made, that's the new euphemism

00:40:58.040 they're calling it. It's just assisted suicide, which is just suicide. It's suicide, but it's even

00:41:05.660 more evil because it's got the complicity of the public health establishment, complete violation

00:41:10.580 of the Hippocratic Oath and of sort of basic tenets of good political communities. If you legalize this

00:41:17.660 stuff, it's not that you're just going to get a few fringe cases of people who are really thinking

00:41:21.780 rationally and who just really have made a calculated serious decision to kill themselves.

00:41:27.520 It's going to spread like wildfire. It's going to be every old granny who feels that she's just a 1.00

00:41:33.260 burden to her family. She's going to do it. She's going to feel pressured to do it. Every mentally ill 1.00

00:41:37.640 person in a fit of insanity is going to do it. Every poor person who doesn't want to live on the street 0.93

00:41:43.820 but can't afford to make ends meet is going to do it. Every depressed person, teenagers, children are

00:41:53.520 doing this right now in Europe, in the Netherlands, Belgium. It's going to spread like wildfire. And it

00:42:02.720 is so, it is the most evil thing I can think of, this sort of thing. And the fact that you heard

00:42:10.140 that doctor signed off on it, the doctor knew that the man, no doctor should sign off on this ever. If

00:42:16.160 a doctor signs off on assisted suicide, he should have his license revoked. He's violated the

00:42:20.400 Hippocratic Oath. But the doctor knows that this guy's just killing himself because he fears poverty

00:42:27.000 and homelessness. And instead of saying, hey, I'm going to refer you to this agency that's going to

00:42:32.720 find you a home. Instead of saying, hey, here's a check. I'm a doctor. I make a decent amount of

00:42:36.380 money actually with Canada's socialist health care. Probably not. But someone's saying, hey,

00:42:39.800 I don't have much, but here's what money I can give you. Hey, don't kill yourself. Here's money

00:42:43.920 to pay rent. Instead of doing that like a decent human being would do, he says, okay, here you go.

00:42:48.060 Kill yourself. You got to wait 90 days. I'm sorry. But then bye. See ya. Doctor, I don't want to die, 1.00

00:42:53.560 but I feel I don't have options. Oh, okay. Then die. Just go die. Go kill yourself.

00:42:58.500 But we're the good guys, right? We're the good guys. We're not like those bad guys. 1.00

00:43:02.040 You know, it's amazing the moral preening you hear from us in the West.

00:43:06.280 Oh, okay. At least we're not like Putin. Putin's a bad guy. We're the good guy. At least we're not

00:43:10.680 like Xi Jinping. Xi Jinping, he's the bad guy. We are slaughtering babies and telling the poor people

00:43:20.440 to kill themselves rather than giving them alms. It's as evil as can be. And it's the logical 1.00

00:43:27.640 conclusion of individualism, by the way. This is the other thing. This is why we're not immune to it.

00:43:31.560 This is why even the right kind of goes along with this sometimes. Because yes, the end of leftism is

00:43:36.360 suicide. We know that. Yes, we understand that that is what leftism is about. It's just destroying

00:43:43.860 everything, burning it all to the ground. But it's the end of individualism. True. There are a lot of

00:43:49.280 people on the right who accept the very liberal premises of individualism. The idea that I own

00:43:55.080 my body, that I'm answerable only to me. I can do whatever. I have a natural individual right to do

00:43:59.720 whatever the hell I want, especially with my own body. You don't. That's not conservative. That has

00:44:04.000 no basis in the proper Western tradition. That is an outgrowth of liberalism. And it's not true.

00:44:12.540 It's not true. You don't choose to be born into this world. You shouldn't choose to come out of this

00:44:17.180 world. You are not accountable only to yourself. You have obligations to your family, to your community,

00:44:22.360 and ultimately to your God. But we have a new moral standard here in the West. And this is being

00:44:27.680 represented in our symbols. The USA has just redesigned its soccer logo. The USA has a soccer

00:44:33.760 team, apparently. News to me. I can't say I follow it all that closely. But the USA has a soccer team.

00:44:40.440 And the USA, now they're about to play some soccer match in the Middle East. And they've

00:44:46.220 redesigned their logo. The logo is no longer red, white, and blue. The logo is the rainbow.

00:44:52.300 It's the gay pride flag. And you can see this on their larger logo. It says,

00:44:57.420 One Nation USA gay pride flag. It doesn't say one nation under God.

00:45:03.060 They've clearly gotten rid of that reference. One nation, but not with the traditional symbol of

00:45:10.840 our nation, which is the red, white, and blue. No, it's the rainbow flag. Because the rainbow flag

00:45:15.920 is in many ways the new American flag. I promise you, the liberals in this country identify much

00:45:21.800 more closely with the rainbow flag than they do with the American flag, with the stars and stripes.

00:45:27.640 The rainbow flag is the symbol, not of the traditional American nation, but of the

00:45:32.320 American empire. That's why we fly pride flags in Afghanistan. That's why we fly pride flags at the

00:45:39.260 Vatican. That's why we do it as a statement of American empire. Also because the pride flag 0.84

00:45:44.900 connotes universal values. The American flag, the traditional American flag, is a flag of a nation

00:45:52.660 that says, this is what our nation is about. And we're going to be a shining city on a hill.

00:45:57.640 We're going to be a beacon of freedom to the world. But this is for us. The pride flag is for everybody.

00:46:03.700 The pride flag is just to conquer everybody and to say that these new values that we have enshrined,

00:46:09.980 in this case of sexual eccentricity, are there for everybody. And actually, you have to accept them.

00:46:18.700 The reason they're doing this in the Middle East is because the Middle East has a different, 0.55

00:46:22.720 much more traditional view of these sexual matters. And so the United States, through the soccer 0.99

00:46:28.320 team, are saying, no, you will adopt our views. We're going to go in there. If you don't allow

00:46:34.420 for the sexual revolution to flourish, we're going to go in there. We're going to impose it on you. And 1.00

00:46:38.160 we've done that many, many times because that's the flag of our empire. So who's going to leave this

00:46:44.680 empire? That's the big question for tonight. Donald Trump has announced that he's got a big announcement,

00:46:51.200 perhaps one of the most historic announcements in American history. That's going to be at Mar-a-Lago.

00:46:56.140 I will be covering that tonight as well. So be sure to tune in. I'm very excited for it.

00:47:00.840 There's some tough news for Trump, though. There's a new poll out of Club for Growth.

00:47:04.180 It shows that Ron DeSantis is not only gaining on Trump, but he's actually up on Trump in four

00:47:10.440 key states. This is a poll conducted November 11th through the 13th. This is after the midterm

00:47:15.060 election. It shows that DeSantis is up. He's beating Trump in New Hampshire, Iowa, Georgia,

00:47:21.300 and Florida. Now you might say, well, I don't know if I trust this poll, or I don't know,

00:47:26.320 maybe the club prefers DeSantis to Trump, or I don't know, the polls always are, they're wrong

00:47:30.680 about everything. If you're Donald Trump, you're going to be worried about this poll because right

00:47:35.040 now Trump is the top of the pack in the GOP. At least he has been for the past two years, but things

00:47:41.100 can change very, very quickly in politics. And I suspect this speech tonight is about stopping that

00:47:46.020 momentum for DeSantis, turning it all around. But we'll have to wait to see. We know that the only

00:47:50.320 thing that we can expect from the Donald is the unexpected. Today, we will be discovering all sorts

00:47:59.740 of new genders on TikTok. I usually interview people on Tuesdays, but listen, today is all

00:48:07.000 about Trump's announcement. We're going to be talking later on for that. So I figured we needed

00:48:10.600 to mix it up a little bit, open our minds on these questions of gender. The rest of the show
