00:00:30.260 Hey, remember when the libs told you that the COVID vaccine was totally effective

00:00:34.740 and if you got it, you would not get the virus?

00:00:38.380 And then like five minutes later, they told you that you needed a booster shot.

00:00:43.500 And then like five minutes after that, they told you that you needed another booster shot.

00:00:49.120 Well, some new science has just dropped.

00:00:52.260 And it turns out that now, according to Kamala Harris,

00:00:55.500 you're going to need to get one of those super effective COVID shots every single year.

00:01:02.040 Quote, one shot once a year.

00:01:04.540 That's all most people will need to stay protected from COVID year long.

00:01:09.120 Make a plan to get your shot.

00:01:11.860 That's what the vice president said three days ago.

00:01:15.600 But then two days ago, so that's just one day after Kamala said it,

00:01:21.800 the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra,

00:01:25.640 announced that actually you're going to need to get six COVID shots every year.

00:01:31.400 So, quote, if it's been over two months since your last dose,

00:01:36.580 quote, make a plan to get one now.

00:01:41.060 Now, that guidance was, of course, two days ago.

00:01:43.900 So if the number of necessary shots has kept pace, multiplying by six every day,

00:01:50.860 that means presumably as of today that we all will need to get 216 Fauci ouchies per year

00:01:56.700 to mitigate the symptoms of COVID.

00:01:59.020 By tomorrow, one suspects that number will be 1,296.

00:02:03.580 And within a week, they'll just hook us all up to an IV to stave off the mild cough.

00:02:09.040 As has been the case from the beginning of COVID,

00:02:12.380 the public health authorities are contradicting themselves constantly.

00:02:16.100 But the one thing that remains certain is that we all have to trust them implicitly,

00:02:22.320 do exactly as they say, and never question a thing.

00:02:26.700 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:02:27.740 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:35.620 Welcome back to the show.

00:02:37.600 My favorite comment yesterday is from Frank, who says,

00:02:40.460 the fact that murderers hate pedophiles more than the Democrats do

00:02:43.740 tells you everything you need to know about the current state of the party.

00:02:47.580 That's a pretty good point.

00:02:49.380 I had not thought of that before.

00:02:51.320 Pedophiles are much, much safer in the company of elected,

00:02:55.780 prominent Democrats than they are in the company of murderers and all sorts of terrible people

00:03:02.200 in prison.

00:03:03.680 You'd be much better. 0.99

00:03:04.680 If you're a pedophile, you'd do much, much better to hang out with Democrats than the 1.00

00:03:10.200 murderers. 0.99

00:03:10.780 Democrats could make you a state senator in California, for instance.

00:03:13.500 I don't know.

00:03:13.780 I'm just thinking off the top of my head.

00:03:16.120 And it's really good, by the way, whether you're in prison, whether you're out of prison.

00:03:20.760 I know people in prison, they work out a lot.

00:03:23.460 What else are you going to do?

00:03:24.320 You got a lot of free time on your hands.

00:03:25.660 Well, the rest of us who are outside the clink, we should work out, too.

00:03:28.820 We should get our bodies in order.

00:03:30.860 We should get heart healthy.

00:03:32.920 We should check out Echelon Fitness.

00:03:35.380 Right now, text Knowles to 818181.

00:03:38.100 I've been working too hard this year.

00:03:40.280 I've been working way too hard to bring you this show every single day.

00:03:44.280 You know what I haven't been doing enough?

00:03:45.520 I haven't been working out.

00:03:47.540 That's right.

00:03:48.680 I want to get in shape, but I don't have time to get to the gym.

00:03:51.280 That is why Echelon Fitness brings the gym home to me.

00:04:44.260 That is NOLS, K-N-W-L-E-S, to 8181-81 to claim your free bike or rowing machine.

00:04:50.760 Text NOLS, K-N-W-L-E-S, to 8181-81.

00:04:53.920 Message and data rates may apply.

00:04:55.680 See terms for details.

00:04:58.020 So we have to trust the science.

00:05:00.320 The science is always right.

00:05:02.000 The scientists always know exactly what they're talking about.

00:05:04.100 It's funny that Kamala Harris and Xavier Becerra are making this announcement right now.

00:05:09.880 Two days after I gave this speech at Franciscan University about how science is totally fake,

00:05:15.660 and you can find that speech in its entirety at the YAF YouTube channel.

00:05:20.680 It's just obviously totally fake.

00:05:22.820 It's obviously just shooting in the dark.

00:05:24.960 And yet, they insist we have to believe whatever they say at any given moment.

00:05:29.680 And if you contradicted it all or raise any questions, then you're spreading dangerous

00:05:32.700 misinformation. 0.84

00:05:33.800 You're basically a murderer, and you need to be deplatformed.

00:05:37.240 But then they contradict themselves pretty dramatically within 24 hours. 0.52

00:05:41.100 The difference between, well, forget for a moment that they told us, get the shot and you're

00:05:46.500 good, period.

00:05:48.300 Now we're being told, no, you have to get multiple shots.

00:05:50.900 Now they're saying you're going to have to get a shot every single year.

00:05:53.140 And then 24 hours later, they say, actually, you're going to have to get six shots a year.

00:05:57.340 That's a pretty big difference, okay?

00:06:00.840 And there's nothing new here.

00:06:03.100 The public health authorities have always been a little bit dodgy.

00:06:07.500 And they remain dodgy, and they remain dodgy even about their own dodgy history.

00:06:11.320 There was an announcement from Rochelle Walensky.

00:06:14.540 Rochelle Walensky is the head of the CDC, who throughout COVID has gotten a whole lot of

00:06:19.060 things wrong, who told you that if you got the vaccine, you would not catch COVID.

00:06:23.340 Then what happened?

00:06:24.520 A lot of people did catch COVID.

00:06:25.820 And then Rochelle Walensky tried to retcon the guidance and say, no, no, we weren't talking

00:06:30.380 about how you couldn't catch COVID or spread COVID.

00:06:32.700 We were just saying that actually, you know, it'll mitigate some of your symptoms.

00:06:37.300 But that is not what they said.

00:06:38.780 So Rochelle Walensky, who has got a pretty checkered track record right now, she announces, 0.95

00:06:44.640 quote, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the end of the Tuskegee syphilis study.

00:06:52.600 Tomorrow, I will be joined by colleagues and public health leaders as we honor the 623

00:06:58.240 African-American men, their suffering and sacrifice, and our commitment to ethical research and

00:07:04.880 practice.

00:07:07.740 Come again?

00:07:09.860 Could you explain what we're celebrating tomorrow?

00:07:12.620 Because she's referring to the Tuskegee syphilis study.

00:07:16.540 That's better known as the Tuskegee experiments.

00:07:18.980 The Tuskegee experiments started in 1932 when the U.S. Public Health Service conspired with

00:07:25.260 the Tuskegee Institute to create a fake medical program.

00:07:29.140 And the fake medical program was purporting to treat people with syphilis.

00:07:34.420 Instead, though, it administered a bunch of dangerous chemicals and procedures to hundreds 0.87

00:07:39.480 and hundreds of black male participants who had no idea that they were being treated as lab rats.

00:07:44.900 And this went on for decades.

00:07:46.540 Only in the 1970s did the government actually cop to the conspiracy and pay out $10 million

00:07:52.320 plus lifetime health benefits to the men that it exploited.

00:07:56.740 So, no, it wasn't just some ordinary syphilis study. 0.92

00:08:00.240 It was actually keeping effective treatments away from these black guys and giving them all 1.00

00:08:05.760 sorts of chemicals to see what that sort of thing would do. 0.98

00:08:08.540 And those black guys did not make a sacrifice. 0.99

00:08:10.560 They were sacrificed, or at the very least, they were exploited by corrupt and cynical public 0.99

00:08:16.840 health officials.

00:08:18.460 And the craziest part of the announcement to me is not the language is pretty wild here

00:08:26.100 because they're clearly painting with a rosy brush what actually took place.

00:08:31.960 But what's so amazing is the fact that they continue to try to cover this sort of thing

00:08:38.940 up and celebrate it and frame it as a great research and a wonderful sacrifice, is it tells

00:08:44.240 you they'll do it again.

00:08:45.980 These people have not reformed at all.

00:08:48.080 The only reason they had to cop to the Tuskegee experiments in the first place is that it was

00:08:52.620 just, it was exposed.

00:08:53.860 And they had to say, okay, yeah, okay, we've sort of been doing this thing for a while.

00:08:57.940 And they remain so cynical about the whole thing.

00:09:00.900 What do they do today?

00:09:03.500 I always think about this with the CIA and other government agencies when they conducted

00:09:08.360 all sorts of extraordinarily unethical projects and experiments in the 20th century.

00:09:16.520 Think of MKUltra, you know, testing out drugs, psych drugs on unwitting participants and all

00:09:24.020 manner of conspiracies.

00:09:27.940 And then today we're just supposed to believe, yeah, but then they stopped doing all of that.

00:09:32.520 Yes, it's true.

00:09:33.540 The government perpetrated all sorts of wicked, wicked conspiracies in the past.

00:09:38.000 But yeah, now we don't, we don't do that anymore.

00:09:39.680 One day we all just, they just decided to stop.

00:09:42.080 Oh, yeah?

00:09:42.760 Okay, cool.

00:09:43.420 That's great.

00:09:44.260 Well, if you believe that, I have got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

00:09:48.080 I've got a bag from Balenciaga to sell you,

00:09:50.400 if you believe that, talking about experiments and conspiracies.

00:09:54.020 So a friend of mine tipped me off to this last night.

00:09:57.900 A few other people seem to have noticed it as well.

00:10:00.520 We've covered for a couple of weeks now the Balenciaga weird child porn referencing,

00:10:08.840 S&M featuring advertisement campaigns that they were running a few weeks ago.

00:10:14.760 And then there was this really weird phenomenon on Google Translate,

00:10:20.080 where if you typed in Bal-N-C-A-G-A into Google Translate,

00:10:25.660 and you said from Latin to English, it just said, do what you want.

00:10:30.660 Which is very strange.

00:10:31.560 Because if you just typed in Ba, it would say Ba, because Ba is not a Latin word.

00:10:35.240 Len, Len, it's not a Latin word.

00:10:37.800 So there was no translation.

00:10:39.120 See, see, aga, aga.

00:10:40.220 But then you type in Ba, Len, Si, aga.

00:10:43.920 It says, do what you want.

00:10:44.820 It doesn't make sense.

00:10:45.480 That's not what that means in Latin.

00:10:47.400 And it happens to be the first commandment of the Satanists.

00:10:50.000 Do what thou wilt should be the entirety of the law,

00:10:51.940 as formulated by Aleister Crowley.

00:10:53.940 So anyway, a friend of mine last night said,

00:10:55.960 what happens if you add another A to the Baal? 0.70

00:10:59.020 So it's not Ba, it's Baal, 1.00

00:11:01.040 meaning probably the most prominent demon that's been worshipped in human history.

00:11:05.840 So you type in Baal, lowercase, and you get, as an answer, lowercase Baal.

00:11:14.280 Because there's no Latin word Baal that would mean something different in English.

00:11:19.660 Then you type in Ensi.

00:11:22.460 Again, you get Ensi, because Ensi is not a Latin word.

00:11:26.380 Aga, you get Act.

00:11:27.960 Okay, so there could be an English rendering of Aga in Latin.

00:11:32.060 But then you type in Baal, B-A-A-L, like the demon, Ensi, Aga. 0.91

00:11:40.600 And the translation on Google Translate into English is Baal is the king. 0.69

00:11:48.240 And it gets even weirder.

00:11:49.980 All of a sudden, it capitalizes the B in Baal. 0.86

00:11:52.980 When you just do Baal as a standalone word, Latin to English, it keeps it lowercase.

00:11:58.700 When you type in Baal, Ensi, Aga, it translates it to a capital B, like the proper noun of a demon.

00:12:07.340 Baal is the king.

00:12:08.700 It goes without saying, that is not what that statement means in Latin.

00:12:12.600 So what does this mean that this happens?

00:12:14.440 What does this mean that these two really, really weird translations come out in Google Translate

00:12:19.920 that don't actually translate the words from Latin?

00:12:23.480 And it'll suggest sometimes different languages that you could try it from.

00:12:27.420 In this case, it says Cepedi.

00:12:28.840 But that's not the translation from Cepedi.

00:12:32.140 What does that mean?

00:12:33.660 What is going on?

00:12:35.180 How did that get there in Google Translate?

00:12:37.240 I don't know.

00:12:38.020 I'm not advancing any theory.

00:12:39.440 I'm not telling you that there's some grand conspiracy of evil people meeting in a room at Google.

00:12:45.580 But it is kind of weird.

00:12:50.020 And it's not just weird anymore as a fluke.

00:12:53.480 You might, it'd be hard to say, well, that's just happenstance.

00:12:57.660 We've now seen it twice.

00:13:01.160 Balenciaga, do it without will.

00:13:02.660 Balenciaga, Bal is the king.

00:13:04.080 On top of this campaign that Balenciaga has put out with S&M imagery, you know, chains and leather and the weird pedo stuff.

00:13:16.180 And then you look at the stylists with Balenciaga.

00:13:19.120 They post overt satanic imagery all over the social media.

00:13:23.260 And it's, I just, I'm trying to rack my head.

00:13:25.680 I always want the simplest solution, the least kind of out there.

00:13:29.520 Explain that to me.

00:13:30.720 I can't, I can't really make sense of that.

00:13:34.460 Once might be a fluke.

00:13:35.620 Twice I'm starting to see a pattern here.

00:13:38.160 And it's a pattern that crops up a lot.

00:13:40.720 Not just in our modern culture, but it's cropped up a whole lot throughout all of history.

00:13:48.060 Now, speaking of fire, when you want to cook some nice stuff over a fire, you definitely need a propane tank.

00:15:07.040 Speaking of dark stuff from powerful people, Disney CEO Bob Iger has finally spoken out

00:15:15.940 on not only Disney's woke content that they're putting out there for kids,

00:15:21.080 but also the political campaign to pressure Disney not to put out that woke content.

00:15:27.620 And what you're seeing reported in some conservative media is that Disney is backing away from the

00:15:35.420 culture war.

00:15:36.340 You know, Disney has learned its lesson and it's going to back away and no longer push

00:15:42.460 this woke content on kids.

00:15:43.740 That's not exactly what I'm hearing from Bob Iger.

00:15:46.780 Here's a virtual question.

00:15:48.200 Many cast members had wished that Disney stayed out of politics.

00:15:52.260 Will Disney stay out of making political statements?

00:15:57.620 You know, I think there's a misperception here about what politics is.

00:16:04.120 And I think that some of the subjects that have proven to be controversial as it relates

00:16:10.380 to Disney have been branded political, and I don't necessarily believe they are.

00:16:15.040 I don't think when you're telling stories and attempting to be a good citizen of the world

00:16:20.500 that that's political.

00:16:22.140 Just not how I view it.

00:16:23.780 Do I like the company being embroiled in controversy?

00:16:26.780 Of course not.

00:16:27.620 It can be distracting and it can have a negative impact on the company.

00:16:31.340 And to the extent that I can work to kind of quiet things down, I'm going to do that.

00:16:36.220 But I think it's important to put in perspective what some of these subjects are and not just

00:16:41.640 simply brand them political.

00:16:43.960 So the way this is being reported, I'll give you an example from Chris Ruffo, who's done

00:16:47.980 excellent work fighting CRT, exposing all the crazy indoctrination of kids.

00:16:52.340 He says, exclusive, I've obtained video from Bob Iger's first town hall with employees in

00:16:57.100 which he signals that he will work to quiet things down politically and move toward neutrality

00:17:01.420 in the culture war.

00:17:02.460 I agree with Chris Ruffo on most things, many, many things.

00:17:07.560 But I don't agree with his analysis of what Bob Iger just said.

00:17:11.860 I sort of think it's the opposite.

00:17:13.660 I think what Bob Iger is saying is, yeah, I want to quiet things down because I don't

00:17:16.520 want Disney's bottom line to get hurt.

00:17:18.240 But I am not going to back away from the culture war.

00:17:21.320 You heard what he said there.

00:17:22.480 He said, listen, certain things are being described as political that I don't think

00:17:29.320 are political at all, such as trying to be a good citizen of the world.

00:17:34.740 First of all, any time you discuss citizenship, you are by definition discussing something that

00:17:43.020 is political.

00:17:44.260 If citizenship is not political, nothing is political.

00:17:47.880 To be a citizen is to be a member of a political community.

00:17:50.780 So Bob Iger is either ignorant of what politics is or he's being obtuse there.

00:17:55.300 But to use that phrase, citizen of the world, that's an extremely politically loaded phrase.

00:18:01.740 To be a citizen of the world is in conflict with being a citizen of a nation.

00:18:09.040 To be a citizen of the world is to accept globalism, which is one of the most politically

00:18:13.240 controversial concepts of our age.

00:18:16.660 And obviously Disney is leaning far more in that direction and against the nationalists.

00:18:22.160 So I would that it were so simple, but I don't think that Disney has learned anything.

00:18:26.960 I don't think that Disney is backing away from the culture war.

00:18:30.640 The only thing that they have learned, there's one thing that they have learned, which is they've

00:18:34.860 got to be a little bit more subtle about it.

00:18:36.760 They can't have their executives out there on camera saying, we're going to push a not-so-secret 0.54

00:18:41.780 gay agenda. 0.91

00:18:42.620 No, they need a secret agenda. 0.83

00:18:44.700 Their radical agenda needs to be a little bit subtler so it doesn't arouse the ire of the

00:18:50.960 ordinary American people to such a point that you've got governors in different states,

00:18:55.500 Ron DeSantis in particular, going in and punishing Disney for pushing this kind of content.

00:19:01.880 Okay?

00:19:02.380 And that is why Disney feels that they've got to make any changes whatsoever.

00:19:06.480 It is because of Ron DeSantis, and Ron DeSantis is taking a victory lap for that win.

00:19:12.300 We didn't drag them in, Tucker.

00:19:14.240 They went in on their own and not only opposed the bill, they threatened to get it repealed.

00:19:19.100 These are parents' rights, important policies in our state that are very popular, and so

00:19:23.660 they brought this on themselves.

00:19:25.740 All we did was stand up for what's right, and yes, they're a big, powerful company, but

00:19:30.060 you know what?

00:19:30.620 We stand up for our folks, and I don't care what a Burbank-based California company says

00:19:35.880 about our laws.

00:19:37.480 Now, don't forget, everyone is celebrating what DeSantis did now, but at the time, it was

00:19:43.060 somewhat controversial on the right.

00:19:45.660 You had people on the right who are more used to that kind of libertarian language or the

00:19:52.680 supposed neutrality of the kind of Bush era, nice, nice, neoconservative talking points.

00:20:01.960 The people who say, we never want to use the government.

00:20:04.080 If we use the government, that makes us no different from the left.

00:20:06.940 The kind of people who say, I'm just going to throw my hands in the air and go live my

00:20:10.740 own life.

00:20:12.720 Those are the people who said, no, DeSantis is overreaching.

00:20:15.960 He's an authoritarian. 0.99

00:20:17.180 He's a fascist. 1.00

00:20:17.920 He can't tell Disney to stop transing the kids. 0.99

00:20:20.920 Then you had the conservatives on the other hand.

00:20:23.620 Can you tell which side of this battle I'm on?

00:20:25.600 Then you had the conservatives on the other hand who were saying, this is awesome.

00:20:28.880 Good job.

00:20:29.460 Keep it up, DeSantis.

00:20:30.940 Wield the political institutions to bring Disney into line.

00:20:36.180 That is, what the people want you to do, you not only have a right to do that as governor

00:20:40.360 of Florida, you have an obligation to do that.

00:20:42.620 Good job.

00:20:43.660 Keep it up.

00:20:44.880 And though that was controversial at the time, you could see very clearly Ron DeSantis leaning

00:20:50.920 into the conservative side more than the libertarian side, and he's going to keep doing it.

00:20:55.880 Ron DeSantis says he's going to keep going.

00:20:58.240 There has been a threat in recent days that Apple might kick Twitter out of the app store

00:21:03.240 because Elon Musk is allowing conservatives to speak on Twitter again, and this is simply

00:21:07.360 unacceptable.

00:21:08.360 So Apple says, okay, maybe we're going to get rid of Twitter.

00:21:12.320 If Apple and Android did that, Twitter would basically just disappear.

00:21:15.800 It would not exist because those two companies own the smartphone market.

00:21:20.000 Ron DeSantis says, if Apple kicks Twitter out of the app store,

00:21:22.940 we should take antitrust action and bust them up.

00:21:28.060 We did big tech censorship bill two years ago.

00:21:31.080 It's gotten caught up in the courts.

00:21:32.320 I think the U.S. Supreme Court's going to accept that case for this term.

00:21:35.880 Texas has a similar case.

00:21:37.680 There's a conflict in the circuits.

00:21:39.180 And so whatever the states can do to protect people's rights, to engage in free expression.

00:21:45.300 And, you know, what some of these companies do, they get a lot of benefits from the government,

00:21:48.840 as you said, patent, things like that.

00:21:50.940 The social media companies get liability protection.

00:21:53.780 And yet they turn around and they use that protection to marginalize voices they disagree with.

00:21:59.600 So I think from the congressional perspective, though, they need to look at antitrust

00:22:04.440 with these massive companies because they are exercising massive amounts of power over our society.

00:22:11.780 So the most interesting political battle here is not the right versus the left.

00:22:17.260 You know, the right wing Ron DeSantis versus the left wing Apple.

00:22:22.020 The most interesting battle, the most controversial aspect of this is the right versus the right.

00:22:27.980 The most interesting battle here is the libertarian point of view versus the conservative point of view.

00:22:33.160 The libertarian point of view, which is, well, you don't like what Apple's doing.

00:22:35.580 Build your own Apple.

00:22:36.320 Build your own Twitter versus the conservative point of view.

00:22:38.760 Now, we're going to bring you guys into line.

00:22:40.580 You woke corporations are selling out our political order.

00:22:45.600 You are doing things that are deeply wrong and unjust.

00:22:49.220 And we're going to wield political power to bring you back into line.

00:22:53.120 And Ron DeSantis is siding with the conservatives.

00:22:56.280 It's the battle between politics is downstream of culture and the law is a teacher.

00:23:05.160 Okay, because politics is downstream of culture is true in as much as it's true.

00:23:09.780 Yeah, it's true that the movies affect the political order.

00:23:12.840 In fact, that's why we're all so concerned about what Disney is doing.

00:23:15.540 But the way that that phrase has been used has basically been as a way to let Republican politicians

00:23:21.940 off the hook, to say that politics, the government, is not how we should solve any of our problems.

00:23:27.420 We should only make movies.

00:23:29.080 We should only engage in the cultural battles because it would be so unjust to wield the government

00:23:35.220 versus the traditional view, which is, of course, we should wield the government.

00:23:40.260 Why else do we run for elections?

00:23:41.820 Of course, the government can fix some problems.

00:23:46.640 Of course, the law is a teacher.

00:23:49.540 And we should know that because conservatives and libertarians prattle on all the time about

00:23:54.840 how the government creates certain incentives and that can lead to bad outcomes.

00:23:59.740 We talk about how in the 1960s, the government created all these perverse incentives with the

00:24:03.660 rise of the welfare state and all sorts of terrible laws and that that led to bad outcomes

00:24:07.800 because those incentives changed people's behavior.

00:24:09.680 Well, if the government can create incentives that make people's behavior worse, the government

00:24:14.260 also can create incentives that make people's behavior better.

00:24:17.840 Of course, it's always been true.

00:24:19.340 Of course, the law is a teacher.

00:24:21.920 And so what Ron DeSantis is saying is, yeah, we're going to, okay, you movie makers, you go

00:24:25.880 make your movies and you people in the culture of private industry.

00:24:29.300 Obviously, you do what you, you do the best that you can.

00:24:32.940 You fix the culture from your angle.

00:24:34.920 Well, but I'm going to wield the government, okay?

00:24:37.960 And 10 years ago, I bet a lot of conservatives and Republicans would not have spoken like this

00:24:44.120 or would not have wanted to hear that kind of message.

00:24:46.080 But this is a different time.

00:24:47.980 And I think Ron DeSantis knows what time it is in that regard.

00:24:53.140 All right?

00:24:53.580 Obviously, the guy is energetic.

00:24:55.180 He feels like he's going to be running for president.

00:24:56.900 And that's why when you want to feel energetic, when you want to feel ready to take on a presidential

00:25:00.660 campaign, you got to take some coffee.

00:26:17.260 Now, Ron DeSantis is not doing all of this just to do it.

00:26:22.700 I'm sure he believes in these things.

00:26:24.280 I'm sure he's got plenty of principles.

00:26:25.660 He's obviously got a lot of political courage.

00:26:27.220 He's also doing this because the guy is clearly running for president.

00:26:31.000 The clearest evidence that he's running for president is that he's about to publish an

00:26:36.820 autobiography.

00:26:38.060 And the autobiography is about his early life and his career in college and playing college

00:26:43.820 baseball.

00:26:44.580 And I believe he was in the Navy and then Congress and then now governor of Florida.

00:26:50.360 And so it's a candidate book.

00:26:52.500 It's a book to introduce himself to the American people who don't yet know him.

00:26:57.220 And it has a title like all of the other candidate books.

00:27:00.860 This title is called The Courage to Be Free, Florida's Blueprint for America's Revival.

00:27:08.400 And then on the cover, it's just Ron DeSantis standing in front of an American flag smiling.

00:27:11.920 It is the most archetypal candidate running for president book that you have ever seen in your

00:27:20.940 whole life.

00:27:21.500 So if you were a gambling man right now, certainly you would bet that Ron DeSantis is running.

00:27:26.520 It doesn't necessarily mean he's running.

00:27:28.480 Sometimes candidates have come out with these books or potential candidates have come out

00:27:31.840 with these books and then they choose not to run.

00:27:33.680 Classic example of this would be 2012.

00:27:35.840 Mitch Daniels, then the governor of Indiana, really looked like he was going to run for president.

00:27:40.420 I was actually somewhat involved in his proto pre-campaign for president.

00:27:45.360 And he had this book coming out, Saving the Republic or Keeping the Republic.

00:27:49.280 And it was a total candidate book.

00:27:50.860 And then he ended up not running because he didn't want to deal with certain family issues

00:27:56.540 if he went on the campaign.

00:27:57.920 And it was all very sad.

00:27:58.820 But he still had the book come out because he was preparing the campaign.

00:28:01.160 And you see all of these.

00:28:02.520 I remember Tim Pawlenty, when he was running for president,

00:28:05.200 he came out with a book.

00:28:06.000 It was called The Courage to Stand. 1.00

00:28:08.880 It was one of the stupidest titles I've ever heard. 0.99

00:28:12.060 Does it really require a lot of courage to stand? 1.00

00:28:15.860 I suppose it requires more courage than to sit.

00:28:18.960 Or at least requires more strength.

00:28:20.560 But The Courage to Stand.

00:28:22.580 Wow, that's amazing.

00:28:24.460 And now DeSantis, The Courage to Be Free.

00:28:27.040 Okay, slightly better title.

00:28:28.240 But still, it's just totally typical of the genre.

00:28:33.460 So what does this tell us?

00:28:36.100 It tells us he's probably running for president.

00:28:38.200 But what it tells us is something about the campaign that he intends to run for president.

00:28:44.980 Ron DeSantis, by all markers, intends to run a conventional campaign for president.

00:28:54.180 Now, compare the books, The Courage to Be Free, Florida's Blueprint for America, right?

00:29:02.720 Even to say, here's my blueprint for the whole country is to say, I'm going to run for president.

00:29:07.020 Compared to Donald Trump's candidate book, he put out a candidate book too in 2016.

00:29:12.380 But it wasn't called The Courage to Stand, Keeping the Republic, The Courage to Be Free.

00:29:17.580 It was called Crippled America, Crippled America, How to Make America Great Again. 1.00

00:29:25.160 Every other candidate book in all of human history has had some really positive, rosy, happy title.

00:29:32.460 Trump's has this really negative title, Crippled America.

00:29:35.920 It's really bad, but we're going to make it great again.

00:29:37.820 Every candidate book in all of history has the candidates there smiling in front of an American flag,

00:29:43.780 right on the cover of the book.

00:29:44.720 Trump's cover was him just looking really angrily at the reader.

00:29:50.240 Sort of there, his furrowed brow, classic apprentice Trump expression.

00:29:54.660 Trump ran an unconventional campaign.

00:29:58.880 Most campaigns, they open up with the candidate, you know, standing in front of the Statue of Liberty

00:30:04.240 or something like that and saying, our best days are ahead.

00:30:09.140 It's going to be a bright and sunny future when you elect me.

00:30:11.740 Trump's campaign opens up with him coming down the escalator at his own building,

00:30:15.180 saying that the country is being flooded by rapists and murderers and maybe some good people. 0.86

00:30:19.080 But America's going to hell in a handbasket, but he's going to fix it.

00:30:22.180 Okay, that was an unconventional campaign.

00:30:24.640 And I don't mean this as a criticism of DeSantis or the DeSantis team.

00:30:30.080 I'm sure this is strategic.

00:30:31.820 I don't think that they're just stumbling blindly into this.

00:30:35.080 This is showing you the difference, the way that DeSantis is going to try to distinguish himself from Trump.

00:30:44.320 I've said from the beginning, the challenge for DeSantis is that his finest selling point

00:30:50.680 is that he's supposed to be Trump 2.0, Trump with all the upsides, none of the downsides.

00:30:55.300 But his place in the campaign is as the anti-Trump candidate.

00:31:00.900 So his place in the campaign is, because Donald Trump is running,

00:31:05.440 is going to attract all of the squishes and the libs and the moderates and the never-Trumpers.

00:31:11.460 That's not DeSantis' fault.

00:31:12.720 That's just the way the circumstances are.

00:31:14.820 And so how does he thread that needle?

00:31:16.800 Well, right now what he's trying to do is he's trying to be super-duper Trumpy

00:31:20.640 when it comes to pummeling private corporations into submission, which is a good thing.

00:31:26.100 That's great.

00:31:26.820 That distinguished Trump from the rest of the Republicans who would just spout off some platitude

00:31:31.760 about free trade and then build your own Twitter and then go on doing nothing.

00:31:36.740 So Trump said, no, we're going to bring these companies into line.

00:31:39.640 Okay, we're going to wield the government to make you companies do what we want.

00:31:43.780 And so DeSantis is going very, very Trumpy on that front.

00:31:46.420 But then he's running the opposite of a Trump campaign on the other.

00:31:50.800 He's running the classic, just here, I am a nice, smiling American boy

00:31:54.720 with some platitude as the title of my book.

00:31:58.400 And so that is going to distinguish him.

00:32:00.480 Again, it's a very, very tough balancing act that DeSantis is going to have to do.

00:32:08.840 But not to take my Noel Stradamus hat out here,

00:32:12.540 I think that is very clearly the strategy that they are undertaking.

00:32:15.600 And so far, it's been very, very effective.

00:32:18.160 Speaking of politicians writing about themselves,

00:32:20.640 this is my absolute favorite news story of, I don't know, the past year.

00:32:26.480 This is so, so funny.

00:32:29.060 There's a state senator in California, Democrat by the name of Scott Wiener.

00:32:33.840 If you've heard that name before, it is in the context of Scott Wiener pushing a bill,

00:32:43.380 which then did become law, to give more lenient punishments to pederasts,

00:32:51.120 to men who sexually abuse minors, to make it such that they're more likely to get lenient sentences.

00:33:00.200 And his name is Scott Wiener, and that's just amazing.

00:33:05.100 So Scott Wiener has just come out.

00:33:07.100 And he said, not even 24 hours after MAGA grifter Charlie Kirk tweeted homophobic lies about me,

00:33:17.140 I received this threat, repeating one of his lies.

00:33:21.440 And that was the point, riling people up against me and other LGBTQ people. 1.00

00:33:26.500 Words have consequences, and Twitter is becoming a cesspool for this crap. 1.00

00:33:31.020 First of all, pretty amazing that this guy is lumping in pedos and pedo supporters with LGBTQ. 1.00

00:33:40.460 I mean, is that not in itself a bit homophobic, wouldn't you say, state senator Wiener? 0.97

00:33:46.540 But here's what he says he received.

00:33:49.420 After that awful Charlie Kirk told terrible lies about him, this is the threat that he received.

00:33:56.760 And he includes just a screenshot of it. 0.60

00:34:00.040 It's a shame you come out and you're okay to release all these pedophiles. 0.84

00:34:03.600 You're okay with people intentionally giving other people AIDS, 0.77

00:34:06.060 and your office can't even pick up the phone to answer about these questions. 1.00

00:34:08.880 You're sick, man. I don't even call you. 0.99

00:34:11.300 You shouldn't even be a man. You're a sick individual. 1.00

00:34:13.680 I don't care about what you do off hours, but when you try to force it upon California, 1.00

00:34:17.820 it's like myself and others. You'll have something coming to you.

00:34:20.700 People like you won't be able to walk down the streets when light comes to the darkness 0.98

00:34:24.420 that you're effing providing, you piece of S-H-I-T. 1.00

00:34:28.760 Wow, man, that's a threat. That is it. That's a real threat. 0.92

00:34:31.980 That's not good to threaten people.

00:34:34.960 Except there was something a little bit weird about this screenshot

00:34:37.980 of the message that Scott Wiener allegedly received.

00:34:43.140 It has a cursor right at the end of it.

00:34:47.720 Now, the cursor is the thing that you see

00:34:51.360 when you type something on the computer.

00:34:55.140 You know, it's just that blinking line

00:34:57.160 when you are writing a Word document or a note.

00:34:59.740 So I've just got a little bit of a pro tip for Scott Wiener.

00:35:05.800 When you are fabricating a threat against yourself,

00:35:10.200 it is really smart to remove your cursor from the screenshot

00:35:14.800 before you post it to Twitter.

00:35:16.680 I'm amazed that at the end of this threat,

00:35:20.700 the would-be assailant didn't say,

00:35:23.020 this is MAGA country.

00:35:24.860 Give me your Subway sandwich, Senator Wiener.

00:35:28.540 Senator Wiener, have you ever been on the show Empire?

00:35:32.540 It's so sad.

00:35:34.200 The guy just totally got exposed.

00:35:37.020 And now we cover this on the show a lot.

00:35:38.680 When these hate, crime, threat, homophobic, racist, sexist,

00:35:45.320 when these things make it into the news,

00:35:49.220 a lot of the time, maybe most of the time,

00:35:52.120 they turn out to be hoaxes.

00:35:53.580 They turn out to be Jussie Smollett situations.

00:35:56.240 And that would seem to be what's going on here.

00:35:58.080 So I wasn't the only guy to notice this.

00:36:00.020 A number of other people did too.

00:36:01.580 And then sometime later, Scott Wiener had to answer this.

00:36:06.440 And so he said, and for all the MAGA conspiracy theorists out there,

00:36:11.240 the threat was a voicemail.

00:36:13.180 And this is a transcription.

00:36:14.940 But have fun spinning around with your conspiracies.

00:36:18.080 I think he has a little eye-rolling emoji.

00:36:20.660 Well, hold on.

00:36:21.560 See, you told us initially that you got this threat.

00:36:26.400 And then he posted the screenshot, which had the cursor.

00:36:30.080 I forgot to mention, the threat also had little spell check lines underneath

00:36:34.500 because the grammar was off.

00:36:36.880 So you want to turn that off too when you fabricate your own threats.

00:36:39.760 But now he's saying, no, no, it actually wasn't an email or a text or anything.

00:36:44.380 It was a voicemail that I transcribed.

00:36:48.540 But if it was a voicemail, why wouldn't you just post the audio?

00:36:52.760 You could post that to Twitter.

00:36:53.800 That'd be very easy.

00:36:54.420 In fact, it would be much more engaging if there were a little sort of video screen

00:36:58.220 with the audio playing.

00:36:59.880 And you could hear this guy.

00:37:01.260 It'd probably make it easier to identify the man who's making this threat.

00:37:04.660 This awful, terrible MAGA right-wing conservative who almost certainly does not exist, right?

00:37:12.680 I think probably if he did post the audio, which does not exist of this, which almost certainly doesn't exist, 0.82

00:37:19.940 it would probably sound like that Nigerian guy who was paid to attack Jussie Smollett in Chicago. 0.56

00:37:24.840 But it doesn't hold up.

00:37:27.400 It does not hold up.

00:37:28.220 I think Senator Scott Wiener should take the L.

00:37:31.620 Anybody, any reasonable person would have to say this is most likely, almost certainly, a hoax,

00:37:44.200 a threat perpetrated, fabricated by Scott Wiener upon himself.

00:37:48.900 And you should just take the L and move on, bro.

00:37:51.100 Just take the L, move on.

00:37:53.020 This response that he gave later after we noticed his cursor in the spell check lines

00:37:57.360 is almost as bad as, my Twitter was hacked.

00:38:01.860 You know, whenever some politician, actually, wow, oh my gosh.

00:38:04.940 When Anthony Wiener got caught sending weird sexual photos of himself to people on Twitter,

00:38:12.700 and he meant to privately message them, but he publicly messaged them, what was his excuse?

00:38:16.040 His excuse was, oh, my Twitter got hacked.

00:38:17.520 This is almost as bad as an excuse as my Twitter got hacked.

00:38:21.280 I don't believe it, buddy.

00:38:23.980 Sorry.

00:38:25.280 Sorry, no.

00:38:26.200 We're going to continue to criticize you and other politicians who openly advocate being lenient to pederasts, 0.98

00:38:37.220 to pedophiles broadly.

00:38:39.360 Sorry, buddy.

00:38:40.280 Sorry.

00:38:40.840 I hope you held on to your Subway sandwich.

00:38:43.500 You know, the season of giving is officially upon us.

00:38:46.460 As you shop holiday gifts and deals, you should ask yourself,

00:38:50.220 who exactly are you giving to?

00:38:53.520 Because if you're buying stocking stuffers from woke companies,

00:38:57.060 you're just stuffing the pockets of leftist CEOs and paying for them to mock what you believe in.

00:39:02.240 Don't give them your money.

00:39:03.400 Give Jeremy your money.

00:39:05.460 His brand, brand new, his brand and brand new collection of Jeremy's Razors products

00:39:10.260 will make the perfect gift for the pronoun-less men in your life. 0.96

00:39:15.380 Well, I mean, those men have pronouns.

00:39:16.820 They're just the correct pronouns.

00:39:18.140 Today is the last day of his 30% off-side resale.

00:39:21.500 Get your loved ones some woke-free shampoo and conditioner, body wash and beard kit,

00:39:26.000 or the new Precision 5 razor with flip-back trimmer before Jeremy merrily restores list pricing.

00:39:32.640 Go to jeremysrazors.com today for your last chance to save.

00:39:37.120 Speaking of California, there's more trouble coming out of California.

00:39:46.100 The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has just approved the police use of killer robots.

00:39:54.520 Remote-controlled robots armed with deadly explosives can now be used by public officials in California.

00:40:01.820 California. And I got to tell you, I don't really care.

00:40:06.920 It's fine. I actually don't have a problem with this.

00:40:08.840 I know a lot of conservatives are going to say, this is horrible.

00:40:10.660 Oh my gosh, you're going to let the police use these killer robots?

00:40:14.940 Yes.

00:40:16.020 You're going to let the state have these killer robots?

00:40:18.460 Yes, we already give the state the power to use all sorts of weapons that they could turn on us if they want to.

00:40:26.880 That's called having a police force. That's called having a functioning government.

00:40:31.600 I think the robots are a pretty good idea because what are they going to be used for?

00:40:36.820 First of all, there are some checks in place such that they need to be authorized by a small number of people

00:40:43.900 who will be held accountable, one hopes, if the robots are misused.

00:40:48.460 But I don't think these robots are just going to be patrolling the streets, strafing us all down with machine guns.

00:40:54.880 Not yet. That's not until they develop consciousness on their own and then they take over like in Terminator.

00:40:59.900 But if they're just being used by remote controls right now, then it's no different than a drone.

00:41:03.420 It's no different than any other kind of technological advancement in weaponry.

00:41:07.060 What are they going to be used for?

00:41:08.120 They're not going to be used for people who go jaywalking.

00:41:09.960 They're going to be used to go into very, very dangerous places that you see in San Francisco.

00:41:14.040 These are going to be used to go into trap houses to go get very serious gangsters and criminals and drug traffickers and all the rest.

00:41:23.480 And the reason that they're going to do it is so that some poor cop doesn't need to be the first guy in the door.

00:41:29.680 And so there are questions about the implementation.

00:41:33.940 And there need to be safeguards.

00:41:35.220 And they need to implement this slowly if they're going to implement it at all.

00:41:38.180 They need to make sure that there aren't going to be catastrophic errors where some robot ends up blowing up an innocent person's home or something like that.

00:41:45.480 But if we're talking about a very, very limited use of these killer robots to go into places where we know it's gang territory, where we know that it's very, very dangerous, we got cop killers in there who are going to kill the poor guy who goes in first, then I have no problem sending in a robot to blow these guys up.

00:42:01.880 I have no problem at all.

00:42:03.000 Being a cop is a very, very hard job.

00:42:04.840 And there are bad cops, sure, but most cops are good guys, and there is a risk of the political authority overstepping its bounds, but we need to have political authorities.

00:42:14.740 We're called upon to respect the political authority, and when they go bad, we need to exercise political control over them.

00:42:21.440 I've really got no problem with this at all.

00:42:24.460 I know this will put me in the minority of conservatives, but listen, I'm anti-crime, okay?

00:42:31.880 And I've been consistently anti-crime, and conservatives used to be anti-crime.

00:42:37.600 And then there was this period during the Trump era when all the conservatives started sounding like AOC, and they cheered Trump on for, do you remember the First Step Act, which was the jailbreak bill for drug traffickers and dealers?

00:42:49.300 And it was presented as this bill to just let the poor guy who was picked up for a dime bag of marijuana, those guys statistically do not exist.

00:42:57.480 The people who go to jail for drugs go to jail for peddling drugs, for drug trafficking.

00:43:02.140 This, during the worst drug crisis in our entire country, this opioid epidemic, and you're going to let them out of prison?

00:43:09.020 I think that's completely insane.

00:43:10.140 So I stood firm then, even though it was an unpopular position.

00:43:13.820 Then conservatives became tough on crime again.

00:43:16.640 And then, I sometimes go, I don't know, they go back and forth a little bit following the winds.

00:43:22.040 But no, that's good.

00:43:22.760 We should be tough on crime.

00:43:23.780 Remember when Biden was running, and some conservatives opportunistically attacked Biden for his 1994 crime bill?

00:43:31.580 1994 crime bill is like the only good thing Biden's ever done in public life.

00:43:34.840 It was a good bill, okay?

00:43:36.280 So we shouldn't blow in the wind.

00:43:38.280 We shouldn't just take a cheap shot at San Francisco when it's easy to do so.

00:43:41.500 It is good to be tough on crime.

00:43:45.820 There are risks, and we've got to mitigate those risks, and we've got to be prudent.

00:43:48.860 Now, speaking of potential tyrannical government,

00:43:53.040 Corinne Jean-Pierre, spokesman for the president, will not say whether or not the White House would be willing to try to shut Twitter down,

00:44:01.800 as the White House has suggested in recent days.

00:44:04.240 When you say that you're going to be monitoring some of the speech on there,

00:44:08.520 if you see something that you don't like, would you try to shut Twitter down?

00:44:12.920 So, look, you know, when you talk about monitoring, you know, it is, I hate to break it to you, Peter,

00:44:19.480 just like everybody else, we very much monitor the news.

00:44:23.820 We pay close attention to everything that you all are reporting, and Twitter's in the news a lot.

00:44:29.700 And so that's what we're paying attention to.

00:44:32.220 We're paying attention to what is in the news and what is being reported on the misinformation that's out there.

00:44:38.400 Let's not forget there's groups like NAACP, the Anti-Defamation League,

00:44:42.160 and the public health leaders have been very vocal about their concerns as well.

00:44:46.080 So, yes, we are reading what you all are writing and looking at what you all are reporting about the misinformation that is out there.

00:44:55.760 But, you know, I would hope that all Americans, including social media companies,

00:45:00.780 civil rights organizations I just laid out, including Fox as well,

00:45:04.360 will agree that we need to, you know, we need to, you know, call out hate speech and misinformation.

00:45:12.140 That's a whole lot of words to say the White House might try to shut down Twitter 0.69

00:45:16.440 for allowing conservatives to speak on there.

00:45:19.560 That's a whole lot of words to say it, but that's what she's saying.

00:45:21.600 It's a simple question.

00:45:23.420 You guys have talked about how you're monitoring Twitter,

00:45:26.800 because now Twitter is allowing conservatives to speak more freely.

00:45:30.800 Are you willing to shut it down?

00:45:32.660 She says, well, you know, I mean, look, we got to look, we got to look at things.

00:45:35.860 And maybe, you know, look, that's a nice Twitter you got there.

00:45:38.120 Sure would be a shame if something happened to it.

00:45:41.060 So I don't, the reason I mention this,

00:45:42.980 I'm not surprised at all that the Democrats are willing to wield the government

00:45:45.620 to shut down conservatives from having a voice in the public square.

00:45:47.960 But I don't want to hear peep from Democrats on the authoritarian overreach of Ron DeSantis

00:45:55.640 going after Disney.

00:45:57.900 The White House is threatening to shut down Twitter

00:46:00.660 if it allows conservatives to have a voice in the public square.

00:46:03.340 I don't want to hear anything about wielding the government against the private corporations.

00:46:08.760 Give me a break.

00:46:09.340 The Democrats have been doing that since forever,

00:46:11.040 and they continue to do it today in a much more aggressive way than the conservatives do.

00:46:15.360 I don't want to hear it.

00:46:18.660 Well, no, but it's to stop hate speech.

00:46:20.500 Oh, yeah, hate speech, by which the Democrats mean speech that they don't like,

00:46:25.580 by which the Democrats mean any speech from any conservative ever.

00:46:29.780 Speaking of hate speech, there was a story that drove me up a wall.

00:46:34.940 This is a story from the motherland out there in the United Kingdom.

00:46:38.940 It's about a woman who has worked in the court for many, many years,

00:46:44.820 83 years old, lady-in-waiting to the late Queen Elizabeth, godmother to Prince William,

00:46:51.240 and Buckingham Palace was hosting an event for this charity.

00:46:55.800 And so this woman shows up to the charity, and Prince William's godmother,

00:47:01.820 this nice British aristocratic lady, says, 1.00

00:47:04.760 where are you from? And the woman at the charity says,

00:47:10.540 Sister Space. The woman's name is Ngozi Fulani. She's a black lady, which is a crucial detail for 0.91

00:47:17.240 this story. He says, where are you from? She says, Sister Space.

00:47:21.960 No, where do you come from? We're based in Hackney.

00:47:24.640 No, what part of Africa are you from? I don't know. They don't leave any records.

00:47:28.420 It's a funny answer. Well, you must know where you're from. I spent time in France.

00:47:32.040 Where are you from? Here, the UK. No, but what nationality are you?

00:47:36.260 I am born here and am British. No, but where do you really come from? Where do your people come 1.00

00:47:40.360 from? My people, lady, what is this? Oh, I can see I'm going to have a challenge getting you to

00:47:45.040 say where you're from. When did you first come here? Lady, I'm a British national. My parents

00:47:49.080 came here in the 50s when, oh, I knew we'd get there in the end. You're Caribbean. No, lady, 1.00

00:47:53.240 I'm of African heritage, Caribbean descent, and British nationality. Oh, so you're from, 0.76

00:47:57.820 and so this is allegedly how the conversation went, according to the charity lady.

00:48:02.660 And let's just take her word for it that this is verbatim how the conversation went.

00:48:08.500 This woman, the charity lady, whined and complained and made a big fuss about this. 1.00

00:48:14.080 The poor woman, the godmother to Prince William, has been fired. The spokesman for Prince William

00:48:19.760 made a statement, said, racism has no place in our society. The comments were unacceptable,

00:48:25.020 and it is right that the individual has stepped aside with immediate effect. This is Lady Hussey,

00:48:29.440 who's 83 years old. Are you kidding me? Are you freaking kidding me? There is nothing wrong

00:48:34.320 with those comments. Yes, is the phrasing a little weird? Yes, did this older woman 0.65

00:48:42.240 pester this charity lady with a question that she didn't want to answer? Yes, sure. Have you ever

00:48:46.820 talked to an 83-year-old? Is it not the case that all 83-year-olds sometimes speak in a strange way 0.98

00:48:54.420 impester youth questions that you don't want to answer? There is nothing wrong with asking somebody,

00:48:58.260 what's your background? There's nothing wrong with that at all. People ask me frequently,

00:49:03.180 oh, Michael, where's your family from? What do you do? What's your background? You're from

00:49:07.040 Sicily? Yeah, yeah, I'm half from Sicily and then half from the British Isles. Oh, yeah,

00:49:13.460 it's where in Sicily. This is something we ask people all the time. There's nothing wrong with it.

00:49:18.840 I'm British lady. No, she's asking you your background because you're obviously not English.

00:49:24.140 The English are a people. They're a people who look a certain way, and you don't look that way

00:49:29.780 because your family came here as immigrants, which is fine. The British invited your family to come

00:49:33.840 as immigrants. She's asking a perfectly polite question of what's your background, and she

00:49:37.440 actually got the answer out of you finally, which is, oh, my family background is from the Caribbean,

00:49:43.260 you know, Africa by way of the Caribbean into Britain. Furthermore, the way you know that this

00:49:48.600 is not a question that ought to be off limits is because the libs tell us how important your racial

00:49:54.860 background is, right? Out of the one side of their mouths, the libs tell us there is pretty much

00:50:00.940 nothing more important to your identity than your race, than your ethnicity, than your nationality,

00:50:07.520 than blackness. Oh, it's so blackness. Is it the heart of the experience of anybody with even 1.00

00:50:14.100 slightly dark skin? But on the other hand, how dare you ask me this? Race doesn't matter at all.

00:50:19.760 Ethnicity doesn't matter at all. Nationality doesn't matter at all. How dare you, 0.99

00:50:22.940 Lady Hussey, ask that question? It's just totally incoherent. It's totally cynical and opportunistic.

00:50:28.040 I feel terrible for this woman. I think it was extremely cowardly of the court to fire this 0.68

00:50:33.700 woman, godmother to the future king, and, you know, long-time aide and confidant of the late

00:50:41.740 queen, all because this obvious political leftist activist with a chip on her shoulder can't show a 1.00

00:50:49.080 little bit of grace to an elderly woman who asked a perfectly fine question in a way that may have been 0.81

00:50:53.800 a bit petulant or poorly worded, but a question that we all know deep down is not in any way mean

00:51:01.720 or cruel or offensive. Completely preposterous, and I really wish people would stop caving in to these

00:51:08.520 cynical games of the libs, whether we're talking about people here in America or the future king

00:51:16.240 of England. Speaking of political leadership, I've got my friend, Alan Estrin, founder of Prager

00:51:24.420 University, coming on the show because Alan has probably the best take that I have heard on Trump

00:51:34.020 and 2022 and 2024. And Alan has marvelous takes on so very many things. Alan was actually the,

00:51:43.200 I don't know that I've mentioned this on air before, Alan was the crucial figure in getting

00:51:48.680 me to write Speechless. Alan, more than basically anybody, is responsible for my book Speechless,

00:51:54.800 and he's got a great take on Trump. So the show continues now. That's going to be in the member

00:51:59.800 block. If you are not a member, what's wrong with you? Come on, don't just be part of the hoi polloi.
