Here's a story you probably haven't heard about, has not gotten much, if any, national press.
00:00:04.780
It's just a local story from a small town in Maine. A 26-year-old public school social worker
00:00:11.480
at Great Salt Bay Community School in Damariscotta, Maine, has been secretly grooming a 13-year-old
00:00:21.040
girl into believing that she's a boy without telling her parents. The girl's mother, Amber
00:00:27.660
Levine, only found out about the psychosexual grooming after she discovered a chest binder
00:00:34.140
in her daughter's bedroom a few weeks ago, at which point, according to news reports,
00:00:38.980
the daughter told her that she had received the transgender fetish device from a school staffer
00:00:45.000
named Sam Roy. According to the girl's mother, school employees had started using male pronouns
00:00:52.340
to refer to the 13-year-old girl. And Roy told the young girl to keep the transition a secret
00:00:59.320
from her parents. As Amber Levine rightly observed, quote, this is the very definition of child
00:01:07.360
predatory sexual grooming. Predators work to gain a victim's trust by driving a wedge between them
00:01:15.240
and their parents. You probably hadn't heard about this story for a couple of reasons.
00:01:22.080
One, the liberal media obviously want to suppress it. We all know that the media say that this sort of
00:01:27.200
thing isn't happening. And then when it's uncovered, they say it's good that it is happening.
00:01:31.080
But the other reason that you probably had not heard about this story, the other reason that this
00:01:36.160
story is not front page news, as most normal people naturally think that it should be,
00:01:41.140
is that the story is becoming commonplace. It just isn't all that newsy because it keeps happening.
00:01:49.740
And it's not just happening in crazy liberal cities like San Francisco and New York. It's happening
00:01:55.380
everywhere. It's happening all over small town USA. And it is coming to a school near you
00:02:02.780
if it isn't there already. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:11.140
Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from Majestee, who says,
00:02:18.620
Corrine Jean-Pierre should start spelling her first name as Corrine, C-A-R-E-E-N,
00:02:25.520
since she careens all over the place in her non-answers to every single question.
00:02:31.320
She's the biggest purveyor of non-information to ever hold that position. I love that. Actually made me
00:02:35.740
laugh out loud. I really like that. It is like a Norm Macdonald joke. Yeah, yeah. You hear about
00:02:41.180
this Corrine Jean-Pierre? Yeah, yeah. She should spell her name Corrine on account of she careens
00:02:45.760
everywhere. But it's true. It's funny because it's true. We got to protect ourselves from these people
00:02:53.400
who don't want to give us correct information. We got to protect ourselves from these people who
00:02:57.700
want to deceive us. We got to protect ourselves from people who want to break into our homes. That's
00:03:01.340
why you got to check out Ring. With Christmas right around the corner, many people will be traveling
00:03:05.480

00:03:10.880
than not. That is why I've decided to team up with Ring. With Ring security products, you can rest easy

00:04:08.740
I'm nothing if not a man of my word, all right? And I lost a bet to the Crane & Company guys,
00:04:16.640
I guess to all the hosts actually. And I said I would wear a puka shell necklace if I,
00:04:21.100
I don't even remember really the terms of this bet anymore. But anyway, here's my puka shell
00:04:26.280
necklace. I'm going to look like a, like a really cool surfer girl from the 90s now. That's,
00:04:32.700
that's great. I actually think it looks kind of nice. Maybe I'll wear it even after this.
00:04:37.880
It's certainly fitting with the topic because we're talking about gender transitions. The story in Maine
00:04:42.900
is shocking in how not shocking it is because we've heard this story before, but then you hear
00:04:50.900
it in all these little schools. This isn't some school in the middle of San Fran or LA or New York
00:04:57.180
or Washington DC or something. It's in the middle of nowhere Maine and it's happening. It's happening
00:05:01.460
secretly and it's happening all over the place. It's happening in Indiana. There's just an email that
00:05:06.180
was uncovered. I think it was uncovered by the Heritage Foundation, by the Daily Signal.
00:05:12.400
An Indiana school is forcing staff to hide gender transition plans from parents. This is an email.
00:05:21.660
It's dated August 16th, sent by a counselor at Pendleton Heights High School in Pendleton, Indiana,
00:05:27.860
informing teachers that a student had changed genders. Now, of course, this is not possible
00:05:32.380
to change genders, but that's what the counselor said. The boy's going to be a girl or the girl's
00:05:38.520
going to be a boy. In this case, it's a girl pretending to be a boy and the counselor affirms
00:05:44.040
this, provides new male pronouns, and says that teachers should not inform the student's parents
00:05:50.340
because they were, quote, not supportive of the decision. Now, that's a very interesting observation
00:05:58.480
because the teacher or the counselor is saying, don't tell the parents what has happened because
00:06:07.520
the parents don't support it. How do you know the parents don't support it if you won't tell them?
00:06:12.960
You can't. The very fact of informing someone or not informing someone should determine that,
00:06:20.040
but it's not. They're just assuming the family is not supportive of this,
00:06:24.120
and so we're just going to do it anyway. Two really big facts here. The school is
00:06:32.160
sexually grooming this child, and then the school is saying when there's a disagreement between
00:06:40.240
us, the liberal educators, and the parents, the liberal educators win out. Indiana, middle of nowhere
00:06:49.080
Indiana. This is happening in your town, or it's happening in a town near you. I can almost
00:06:57.400
guarantee it. And do you know who started this entire trend? This is almost out of a movie.
00:07:06.840
One of the main people behind this now national school policy to hide gender transitions of little
00:07:14.840
kids from parents was the bald-headed, lipstick-wearing, stiletto-having, luggage-stealing
00:07:21.980
nuclear waste official from the Biden administration, Sam Brinton, who, if this were a cartoon, if this
00:07:29.120
were a comic book, which increasingly our country seems to be, this guy would be one of the big
00:07:34.480
supervillains. He looks like it. He acts like it. And this guy was behind the policy that now
00:07:43.820
instructs schools to keep this sexual grooming from parents. Because before Sam Brinton worked
00:07:50.560
in the Biden administration, he worked for a terrible group called the Trevor Project.
00:07:56.360
Now, the Trevor Project seems like it has a really good mission. The Trevor Project,
00:08:01.180
part of its mission, it says, is to prevent LGBT youths from killing themselves. Well, that's a worthwhile
00:08:08.280
endeavor. We don't want LGBT youths or any other youths to kill themselves. And so that's a great
00:08:13.800
thing. But in practice, that's not what the Trevor Project does. In practice, what the Trevor Project
00:08:17.820
does is works over time to indoctrinate kids into radical LGBT ideology. It works to promote
00:08:27.280
transgenderism for ever younger groups of people. We're talking about major mutilations,
00:08:32.620
disfigurements that will last a whole lifetime that could sterilize kids. All it does is work to do,
00:08:39.640
all it works to do, rather, is to double down on this crazy ideology. And so when Brinton was working
00:08:47.280
for the Trevor Project in 2019, he was directing advocacy and government affairs there. He helped
00:08:53.140
create a model for school district policy for suicide prevention. And the model has been adopted,
00:08:59.380
at least partially, by state education departments in Arizona, Idaho, as well as local school districts
00:09:04.620
in California, New Hampshire, Oregon. Other states, including Washington and New Jersey, have similar
00:09:09.200
policies. And the model is don't tell parents when their kids start getting into the weird sex stuff.
00:09:17.800
That's the model. And it's hard even to talk about it because they say, well, we're doing this to
00:09:23.520
prevent suicides. And it reminds me of every abusive relationship you've ever heard of.
00:09:28.120
Man, woman, doesn't matter. Every abusive relationship, when it gets really, really bad,
00:09:33.860
they say, if you don't do exactly what I want, I'm going to kill myself.
00:09:38.980
And it's this kind of emotional blackmail and exploitation and manipulation where even the
00:09:44.820
people made of the toughest stuff will very often give in. It's just, well, I don't want that to
00:09:49.760
happen. And what the Trevor Project does here, what Sam Brinton does here is even worse.
00:09:54.700
Because they're saying, if you don't give us exactly what we want, your kid is going to kill
00:10:00.120
himself. And what do we want? We want you to pump your kid full of hormones, put your kid on puberty
00:10:06.060
blockers, eventually chop off your kid's genitals, and pretend that your little son is actually your
00:10:10.920
little daughter, or your little daughter is actually your little son. And if you don't do that, your kid
00:10:15.900
is going to kill himself. That's what they're saying. Evil, evil stuff. And not true, by the way,
00:10:21.320
not backed up by any evidence whatsoever, no evidence that the gender transition and the
00:10:27.640
various mutilations that go along with it actually reduce suicide rates among people who suffer this
00:10:33.280
sexual and gender confusion. Zero evidence. There's a lot of evidence that people come to
00:10:38.800
regret their transitions, even though the number of people who have ever gone through these procedures
00:10:43.440
is extraordinarily small. It's growing very quickly. And so now we're finally starting to see the first
00:10:48.840
round of people who are beginning to regret this. And they're coming out, they're saying,
00:10:51.520
I've destroyed my body. I've ruined my voice. I've ruined my hair. I'm sterile. How on earth
00:10:56.780
could adults have allowed a 14-year-old to do this sort of thing? We're finally hearing that.
00:11:00.780
The Trevor Project, Sam Brinton, these school districts in Indiana and Maine, all over the
00:11:05.100
country, they say, no, forget about that. Ignore that. If you don't engage in the radical,
00:11:12.000
insane ideology to mutilate and castrate your kids, well, they're just going to kill themselves,
00:11:16.800
and you're going to have that blood on your hands. Can you imagine? Why does Sam Brinton care so much
00:11:23.400
about your kids? Why do all these people? They're all the same. You know there are all these weirdo
00:11:30.020
guidance counselors like the guy up in Maine, the 26-year-old. I think he's a guy. Who knows?
00:11:34.080
He goes by Sam, which I guess is gender ambiguous. But who knows? I guess he presents as a guy,
00:11:40.180
so let's call him a guy. Why is he so interested in a 13-year-old girl and psychosexually grooming
00:11:46.780
her? Why is Sam Brinton? I think a large part of the reason why these people are so focused on your
00:11:53.740
kids and driving a wedge between you and your kids and perverting the mind and body of your kids
00:11:59.060
is in large part because they don't have kids themselves. I'm not saying they would abuse their
00:12:05.080
children or sexually abuse their children or anything like that. I'm saying when people have
00:12:09.700
children, they raise their children in the way that they want them to be raised. If you're a
00:12:13.820
Christian family, you're going to raise your kids to be Christian. If you're a Jewish family,
00:12:16.720
you're going to raise your kids to be Jewish. If you're a weird lib, you're going to raise your kids
00:12:19.800
and you're going to at least try to raise your kids to be a weird lib. But these people don't have
00:12:24.340
kids. And so I think they're, I strongly suspect their natural longings to form the next generation
00:12:30.160
are just being projected onto your kids where there is so much less accountability, where they are so
00:12:35.180
much more willing to engage in radical kind of behaviors because they won't have to deal with any of
00:12:40.480
the consequences. Not good stuff. We got to get back to basics. We got to get back to the truth.
00:12:45.680
When you want to do that, you got to check out Bible in a Year with Father Mike Schmitz.
00:12:50.060

the number one spot on Apple Podcasts, which is just such a great white pill. That is, in all this

00:14:05.240
There's another big consequence of people not having kids beyond the insane transformation of
00:14:11.060
our education system. This might be the saddest story that I have read in a while. And I'm reading
00:14:19.080
stories about these creepy adults mutilating children, so that's a lot to say this might be
00:14:23.380
the saddest story. The toy industry has only one main area of growth in recent years. And that main
00:14:34.380
area of growth is adults. Kids are not buying more and more toys. Adults are. They call them kiddults.
00:14:48.480
Buying toys for themselves as the biggest source of growth for the industry. Kiddults have a great
00:14:56.220
fondness for cartoons, Star Wars, and Lego. In recent years, toy makers such as Mattel have created
00:15:02.860
lines just for these consumers. These kids at heart are responsible for one quarter of all toy sales
00:15:10.120
annually. Stop. Stop. I'm preaching to the choir here because I strongly suspect the kind of people
00:15:21.500
who listen to this show are not the kind of adults who issue all of their responsibilities and regress
00:15:28.300
into living, you know, moving into their childhood bedrooms and playing with little toys all day long
00:15:33.280
while their mother makes them cookies and brings them milk. I assume, I think I have good reason to
00:15:38.940
believe that the people listening to this show tend to be a little more responsible and mature.
00:15:43.820
So I'm preaching to the choir. But if you know someone, if you know an adult who is buying a lot of toys,
00:15:53.460
tell them to stop. Stop it. Cut it out. I go back to this advice all the time on the show.
00:16:02.620
Don Corleone sitting there with Johnny Fontaine shakes him. He says, you can act like a man.
00:16:06.580
What's the matter with you? What is the matter with you? I've seen this happen. The reason I know
00:16:12.860
this isn't just made up. I mean, we're seeing data from the NPD group. It's being reported in other
00:16:18.920
major outlets. But the reason I know it's happening is friends of mine have done this.
00:16:24.960
Friends of mine, they'll get really into Legos or something, or they'll get really into playing with
00:16:30.100
some toy or even stuffed animals or even they. And why is that? It's because they're nostalgic.
00:16:36.820
And nostalgia is a temptation. It's a temptation we should resist because nostalgia is history after
00:16:41.800
a few drinks. And those halcyon days were not quite as great as you remember them being. And even if
00:16:46.620
they were, you can't go to the past. And while it is perfectly appropriate for a five-year-old to play
00:16:51.420
with little toys, it is not appropriate for a 25-year-old to play with little toys. Just as
00:16:56.060
it is totally normal for someone in their mid-20s to spend a lot of time bar hopping,
00:17:02.080
you know, going out every night of the weekend, hitting up a bunch of bars and dance clubs and
00:17:07.840
discotheques. I don't know. I sound like such a boomer. Going down to the old dance hall and playing
00:17:12.480
pool. But, you know, that's totally normal for people in their 20s. It's less normal for people
00:17:18.240
in their 50s to be doing that sort of thing. There is a time to every season under heaven, okay? A time
00:17:23.560
for war, a time for peace, a time for playing with little toys, a time for not playing with little
00:17:27.260
toys. And the millennial generation, I'm sorry to say, it's my own generation, they don't want to
00:17:33.380
grow up. They're delaying marriage. They're delaying moving out of their parents' house. They're delaying
00:17:37.420
getting jobs. They're delaying having kids. They're delaying everything. They're stuck as overgrown
00:17:42.560
children. And they really should stop that, okay? It's not cute. It's not you playing with your
00:17:49.580
little toys. It's not cute. McDonald's just came out and offered a kid's meal for adults
00:17:54.340
playing on this very problem of perpetual adolescence among people who are way too old
00:18:02.660
for that now, okay? Stop it. The thing is, when you're an adult, you're bogged down and, you know,
00:18:10.680
you've got maybe tough relationships and you've got your job that you're slogging through. And so, yes,
00:18:15.240
you do need an outlet for recreation and leisure. That's true. Now, one hopes that you can cultivate
00:18:21.860
interests that are more appropriate to your age group. So, I buy plenty of toys, right? But the
00:18:27.500
toys that I buy are little musical instruments. So, yeah, they're things little kids can play with,
00:18:31.400
but I'm not buying like little plush Star Wars figures or something like that, okay?
00:18:37.080
I buy cigars. That's a toy for adults. I buy whiskey. That's a toy for adults, okay?
00:18:43.600
I'm not saying you can't have your fun activities. And by the way, sometimes you do. You have this
00:18:48.880
drive of nostalgia and you want to play with a little toy. You want to get down and play with
00:18:53.960
a train set or something like that. You can do that as an adult with your children, okay? It's fun to
00:19:00.660
play with your children. Even me, I'm pretty stodgy. I like getting down on the ground and playing with
00:19:05.260
the little blocks or whatever with my kids. And that is the properly ordered way to channel that
00:19:12.040
natural, nostalgic yearning for the innocence and joys of youth. But if you take the kid out of
00:19:18.920
that, and it was just you, you know, a 30-something sitting there in your gym jams playing with a
00:19:25.000
train track, that is sad. Don't do that. Okay, goodness. It's like something that the libs always
00:19:31.960
do, which is they want the image of the thing. They want the facade of the thing, but they don't
00:19:38.640
want the essence of the thing. I'm speaking a little abstractly, so I'll drive it home.
00:19:43.640
Libs are the kind of people who love decaf coffee, okay? Libs are the kind of people who love
00:19:48.300
transvestitism. They love the sort of exterior, outward symptoms of a thing, but they don't want
00:19:56.160
the essence of it. So yes, it's fun to play around when you're an adult, but the essence of playing
00:20:03.060
around when you're an adult is doing it with your child to entertain your child, to form a close
00:20:07.260
relationship and to educate that child. When you're just doing it for yourself, it's just sad.
00:20:13.580
And the late-stage capitalists are profiting off of you and encouraging you to do it. Because
00:20:21.580
the thing is, I don't mean to harp too much on the selfishness of my millennial cohort, because there
00:20:30.860
are a lot of social factors that are pushing this. I even intentionally use this language of
00:20:37.240
the commies when they're always whining about late-stage capitalism, because that is a little
00:20:41.420
bit of a problem too. It's not just the big government that is pushing people into these
00:20:47.820
culturally degrading behaviors. It's also private industry. It's also entertainment. It's also
00:20:54.300
social media. All of that is working right now. There was a piece just in NBC. Well, actually,
00:20:59.900
the piece appeared five years ago. It just is circulating again because it was referenced in a
00:21:04.720
Washington Post column that also has been circulating very recently, which is that science proves kids
00:21:11.840
are bad for the earth. Morality suggests we stop having them. We need to stop having kids because
00:21:19.980
it's bad for the environment. It has ethical consequences. This is written by someone who
00:21:24.520
pretends to be a bioethicist. This is someone named Travis Reeder. And what does he say? He says,
00:21:30.780
several years ago, the scientists showed that having a child, especially for the world's wealthy,
00:21:35.580
it's one of the worst things you can do for the environment. That statement is essentially a
00:21:41.060
meaningless statement, by the way. But he says scientists prove it. So if they're scientists,
00:21:44.440
they have lab codes. So obviously it's true. Having a child imposes high emissions on the world while
00:21:49.040
the parents get the benefit. So like with any high cost luxury, we should limit our indulgence of
00:21:54.720
children. Then he goes, and this is an amazing analogy. He says, if I release a murderer from
00:21:59.480
prison knowing full well that he intends to kill innocent people, then I bear some responsibility
00:22:03.360
for those deaths, even though the killer is also fully responsible. My having released him doesn't
00:22:08.620
make him less responsible. He did it, but his doing it doesn't eliminate my responsibility either.
00:22:13.580
Something similar is true, I think, when it comes to having children. Once my daughter is an
00:22:17.300
autonomous agent, she'll be responsible for her emissions, but that doesn't negate any responsibility.
00:22:21.820
Moral responsibility simply isn't mathematical. Okay, so he's comparing having kids with murdering
00:22:27.000
people. And this is a telling analogy, because this is what all these guys think. They think that
00:22:31.460
human beings are a disease, and that's why they encourage us to not have kids. And you're having
00:22:37.200
the government encourage you to not have kids, and you're having the non-government, non-profit
00:22:41.280
organizations encouraging you to not have kids, and you're having the for-profit corporations
00:22:45.380
encouraging you to not have kids. You're getting taxpayer-subsidized abortion and contraception.
00:22:50.320
You are getting NGOs going all around the world, and in our own country, pushing abortion,
00:22:55.400
pushing contraception, pushing family planning and Planned Parenthood. But you're getting the
00:22:59.560
corporations doing it too. Corporations paying for people to get abortions. Why? Because it's not
00:23:04.420
just the evil big government, and it's not just the awful, terrible activists who are professional
00:23:08.700
agitators. It's the capitalists too. Recognize that, you know, if those moms are staying home raising
00:23:15.340
their families, that's not going to be great for weight. That's going to raise wages. That's going
00:23:19.520
to raise the cost of labor. That if the women do happen to work, you're going to have to give them
00:23:23.700
maternity leave. That's going to be very, very expensive. It'd be a lot cheaper just to convince
00:23:27.160
the mother to not have children in the first place, to not get married, so you don't even have
00:23:31.320
the possibility of children, you know, a man and a woman in a perpetual union for the good of the
00:23:36.740
spouses and the sake of the generation and education of children. Or if they do get pregnant,
00:23:41.220
just encourage that woman to kill her baby. There are incentives at every stage of the government
00:23:48.080
to do this sort of thing. And what I feel so sorry for so many of my millennial
00:23:54.140
friends and cohort and people who are younger as well, because they're being duped. They're
00:24:01.220
being tricked into this by so many of the lies of our culture. I was just talking about this with
00:24:05.700
my cousin yesterday. I got to see my cousin. And he said, man, you know, it's only in recent years
00:24:10.340
I've really been thinking about it. I realized going out all the time is not totally fulfilling.
00:24:15.660
But that's what the culture is telling us to do. Go out. Don't get married. Dump your girlfriend.
00:24:20.320
Dump your boyfriend. Move to the city. Have casual sex all the time. Don't have any attachments.
00:24:24.980
Don't have any kids. It's selfish. It's bad for the environment. It's bad for the company.
00:24:29.340
It's bad for the country. It's bad for the entitlements. It's bad for the blah, blah, blah, blah,
00:24:33.560
blah. It's always the same thing. And it goes right back to the first lie in the Garden of Eden.
00:24:38.820
It goes right back to the prince of lies himself. And it's the marker of the devil. I'm not speaking
00:24:44.660
hyperbolically here. When you have movements that hate people, that want fewer people, that want to
00:24:51.520
kill people, that want to limit the number of people, that don't want people to be born in the
00:24:54.920
first place, that is the marker of the devil. And you should be aware. And you should not be duped.
00:25:01.060

00:26:33.220
Another big consequence of depopulation or of stagnant populations where the population is not
00:26:38.980
growing. Actually, in the United States, we have a dying population. One of the consequences is mass
00:26:43.620
migration, which the government loves and which private industry loves. The big government liberal
00:26:51.800
Democrats, they love mass migration. These mass migration, they believe, and I think they have
00:26:57.420
good reason to believe, gives them a permanent electoral advantage. Because immigrants, the kind
00:27:03.020
of immigrants that the Democrats are importing right now from Latin America, with few exceptions,
00:27:07.980
the Cubans would maybe be an exception, but with few exceptions, they vote Democrat, their kids vote
00:27:12.440
Democrat, their grandkids vote Democrat. There's a big movement of a lot of them over to the Republicans
00:27:16.240
right now, but it still favors the Dems. So that's why the government likes it. Private industry, which
00:27:22.520
has more representation for conservatives than Republicans, they also love mass migration. The
00:27:26.600
reason they love mass migration is because it provides a cheap workforce and it keeps wages low
00:27:32.440
and allows businesses to increase their profit margins. So you've got this effort right now
00:27:40.180
from both sides of the political aisle in the United States to encourage Americans not to have more
00:27:46.200
children and to import in order to keep up the entitlement state, in order to keep industry going.
00:27:51.380
You then import cheaper workers from the third world, and that's what's happening.
00:27:55.480
According to Customs and Border Protection, tens of thousands of migrants are headed to the U.S. border
00:28:01.600
right now. This happens every so often, where you'll see some huge migrant caravan
00:28:08.280
working its way up through Latin America. These events shouldn't be all that shocking in that we
00:28:13.940
have two million illegal aliens come every single year. We have thousands and thousands of people
00:28:17.940
every single day across our border. But when you see these incidents where it's 30,000, 40,000,
00:28:24.180
CBP agents are now predicting more than 40,000 migrants in southern Mexico who will soon be at the U.S.
00:28:31.060
border. When you see that, it's shocking because you can at least look at the pictures. But
00:28:35.120
you're getting a tenth of that every day in the United States. So it's only shocking in that it
00:28:42.240
allows us to see what is persistently happening in the country. What is this? This is not just
00:28:48.560
politics. This is not just an issue, okay, where you talk about abortion as an issue. Very serious
00:28:55.560
issue, but it's an issue. Taxes, that's an issue. The war in Iraq. Are we still fighting that one? I
00:29:02.580
think we wrapped that one up. The war in Ukraine. The war wherever. That's an issue. Immigration,
00:29:09.000
this kind of mass migration, is not a regular political issue. It is a meta-political issue.
00:29:15.640
It's the politics of politics. It's the politics of how the Democrats are going to win at politics.
00:29:22.780
Because by flooding the country with illegal aliens, and with legal immigrants too,
00:29:27.200
legal immigrants also overwhelmingly vote for Democrats. So you've got two million illegal
00:29:31.960
immigrants, one million legal immigrants coming in every single year. This represents the largest
00:29:36.900
movement of human beings in recorded history. And that's into the United States over the past 60
00:29:42.380
years. You are seeing the Democrats transform the demography of the country to favor them.
00:29:47.780
That's why they're doing it. It's not because they have any particular love for Guatemalan peasants.
00:29:54.480
Okay, they don't. But they do have love for winning elections. And so you're seeing this
00:29:59.440
meta-political change, and the Republicans largely fail to address it. There's one exception here,
00:30:05.400
and this is some good news. The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Roberts, who is usually a big squish,
00:30:12.740
has just temporarily halted the entrance of this migrant caravan into the United States.
00:30:18.640
And the way he did it was by granting an 11th hour request by more than a dozen GOP-controlled
00:30:25.060
states to temporarily pause a lower court ruling that had ordered the end of a COVID-era protection
00:30:32.800
known as Title 42. So all a very complicated political issue. Title 42 was used by the Trump
00:30:40.620
administration. It's a public health law to allow US border officials to expel illegal aliens. Even
00:30:47.000
if the illegal aliens want to apply for political asylum, and usually they're not really political
00:30:52.720
asylum cases. Usually they're just economic migrants looking to make some money. But many will
00:30:57.960
pretend to be seeking political asylum. And this then triggers a process where it's much more difficult
00:31:03.560
to expel them from the country. Well, Title 42 says, look, we're in a pandemic. COVID, you all know
00:31:09.880
COVID is so dangerous. It's the most dangerous virus we've ever seen in the whole wide world.
00:31:15.680
And so because of that, we're now going to use this public health law to expel the illegal aliens.
00:31:23.080
Talk about making lemonade out of lemons. Talk about a silver lining in a storm cloud. So Trump
00:31:28.700
used this mechanism very wisely. That was a very, very smart move by Trump. Biden's been trying to
00:31:36.040
undo it. But it's not so easy. It's just undoing it and snapping your fingers. You have to take this
00:31:40.480
through the courts. And the Supreme Court has just said, no, we're going to leave it in place
00:31:43.960
for now. And so the Democrats are stymied in their plans to flood the country with the illegal aliens.
00:31:51.680
What we should learn from the use of Title 42, and from this great, at least temporary decision from
00:31:58.800
the Supreme Court is, one, elections really do matter. We sometimes get depressed. We say the
00:32:05.360
elections don't matter. They rig the votes. They don't. But elections really do matter.
00:32:09.860
Roe v. Wade was determined by elections. The ending of Roe v. Wade was determined by Republicans
00:32:14.460
just barely eking through their president, getting their judges on the court just in the right amount
00:32:18.720
of time, and then this court making important decisions. Even Roberts, who is a squishy judge,
00:32:25.160
having him on the court just gave us the halting of this migrant caravan at the border.
00:32:32.980
But the more important lesson, I think, to learn is conservatives should use Democrat ops and
00:32:41.780
hoaxes and political dirty tricks against them. The Democrats are always going to be playing their
00:32:50.500
dirty tricks. The Democrats are always going to say, oh, there's a virus from China. We need to shut down
00:32:56.040
all the churches, shut down the businesses. We need to transfer wealth from small businesses to large
00:33:02.000
corporations that are in our pockets or in whose pockets we are. Sometimes it gets a little bit
00:33:06.220
blurry. And we need to force you to take this shot. We need to change education. We need to change
00:33:13.020
everything. We need a great reset. We're going to do every single thing that we wanted to do for
00:33:17.400
a hundred years. Yeah, all because of the virus, right? Total dirty trick, total political operation.
00:33:23.640
But like any good chess player, like any good athlete, when you see your light, you got to take
00:33:31.940
it. And so Trump saw the light on that and he said, okay, we've got this terrible virus and you're
00:33:36.520
going to say it's the worst thing ever. Okay, good. Then we're going to have to use Title 42.
00:33:40.020
Because if it's so terrible, it's such a terrible virus, then we can't let these tens of thousands of
00:33:44.540
migrants come in, right? And then we're going to say, wait, wait, wait, well, no, I don't know
00:33:47.820
about that. You say, hold on, what are you talking about? You're telling me that an adult American,
00:33:52.560
totally healthy, at no risk whatsoever, really from this virus, is not allowed to go shopping
00:33:58.640
if he doesn't have three booster shots of the experimental drug. But a Nicaraguan peasant
00:34:05.180
coming through with no inoculation whatsoever, he can just come right into the country waltzing in
00:34:10.780
and it's no big deal. What are you talking about? I have to get a COVID test every time I want to
00:34:16.240
walk into a hospital to see a sick relative. Usually I'm not even allowed into those hospitals.
00:34:21.200
We're not allowed to bury our own dead. This is so dangerous, we have to quarantine. But you're
00:34:25.560
telling me that tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Latin American migrants can just
00:34:33.240
walk right on through, no big deal. We're not even going to take the temperature? Come on,
00:34:37.160
that's ridiculous. Well, they got us there. And we've used that and we have been able to stop
00:34:43.080
some illegal immigration. Now, that's not enough, but it's just a reminder for those conservatives
00:34:50.000
who say, well, if we ever do the sorts of things that the libs do, the libs use these mechanisms and
00:34:58.120
they use it for injustice and immorality and to make our country worse. If we ever use these kinds of
00:35:02.860
legal and political mechanisms to make our country better, well, that would make us no different from
00:35:07.200
the liberals. No, it would. It would make you very different because good and bad are opposites.
00:35:10.680
They're different and they're opposites. Making the country better and making the country worse
00:35:15.240
are not the same thing. Well, in both cases, you're using the power of the state and you're using one of
00:35:20.740
these laws and you're having the judges come in and yeah, right. It's called politics. It's called
00:35:25.040
politics. And it's good to use politics for good things. I mean, it's bad to use politics for bad
00:35:33.800
things. And it's not hypocritical when you do good things and you don't want to do bad things, okay?
00:35:39.500
It's not hypocritical at all. This was the topic of my speech yesterday at AmericaFest, an amazing,
00:35:45.320
amazing event. As always, nobody throws a show and a party and a political event like Charlie Kirk and
00:35:51.880
TPUSA. Nobody does it. It's just amazing. There were, I think, 12,000 attendees at AmericaFest in
00:35:58.920
Phoenix yesterday. Just in the one big room, I think there were something like 8,000 chairs and there
00:36:04.500
were so many other events simultaneously happening. It was just amazing. You can catch my speech on the
00:36:08.720
TPUSA YouTube page. But it really gives you hope. It gives you hope. You think, okay, these are pretty
00:36:15.000
clever, fired up people. Maybe there's a way to break the Democrat, the liberal hegemony. I'll give you a
00:36:21.240
great example of a liberal, ridiculous op. The January 6th committee is now referring Donald
00:36:31.360
Trump to the Department of Justice for criminal insurrection charges. Now, this is a committee
00:36:39.140
made up only of Democrats, nominal Democrats, and de facto Democrats. They're urging the DOJ to consider
00:36:49.980
charging Trump with inciting or aiding an insurrection. Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin announced
00:36:55.620
this referral. He described it as, quote, a grave federal offense anchored in the Constitution itself.
00:37:03.500
And then he noted this was automatic grounds for disqualifying some from holding state or federal
00:37:10.020
office. These people, they don't give up. They don't give up. They don't. 2015, they say Donald Trump,
00:37:18.140
he can't run for office. He slept with models and porn stars. You know that thing that we've all
00:37:23.220
known about him for decades? You know that thing that a pretty prominent recent Democrat president
00:37:29.260
did very publicly and scandalously? Yeah, Trump, he's disqualified. And then what? He colluded with
00:37:35.740
the Russians. He's disqualified. And then he colluded with the Ukrainians, even though the Ukrainians
00:37:40.000
hate the Russians. Anyway, he colluded with both somehow, and he's disqualified. And he's an
00:37:45.140
insurrectionist. And even though no one involved in the Capitol Hill riot has been charged with
00:37:50.220
insurrection at all because it's just ridiculous. He can't run now. And he's a total loser. And
00:37:56.300
everyone hates him. And there's no way he could ever win. And that's why we have to do everything
00:37:58.760
we can to prevent him from appearing on the ballot. That doesn't quite add up to me.
00:38:04.180
What should the GOP take from this? Well, the GOP can mock it. I think it's good to mock the
00:38:11.060
January 6th commission. It's very funny to mock that. And it's good to do that. The GOP can ignore
00:38:16.760
it. Okay, that's fine. The GOP can get angry about it. I don't know why. I wouldn't get angry. It's
00:38:22.340
such a joke. I mean, DOJ is probably going to pick it up. They've been all going after Trump for seven
00:38:27.320
years now. But whatever. These aren't serious people. They don't have principles. So there's no
00:38:35.820
use getting riled up about that. What I think the GOP should do is use these kinds of operations
00:38:42.920
against the Democrats. I think I would humbly propose, especially as the GOP is about to take
00:38:47.880
control of the House of Representatives. Saw some of my Republican congressman friends yesterday at
00:38:52.140
TPUSA. I would recommend, as the GOP is thinking about investigating Hunter Biden. Okay, that's fine.
00:38:59.640
Or the GOP is talking about investigating Dr. Fauci. Yeah, I think that's good. I think we should
00:39:02.980
investigate Dr. Fauci. I think the GOP should investigate and potentially prosecute Democrat
00:39:11.560
politicians for incitement against the GOP, for even potentially insurrection. I think they should
00:39:20.360
do exactly to the Democrats what the Democrats are trying to do to Republicans. The Republicans have far
00:39:27.400
better grounds to do it to the Democrats. Democrats like Maxine Waters have incited violence, have
00:39:33.640
explicitly called for violence, pushing back on people in public, going to Republican politicians'
00:39:39.640
homes against the GOP, against the conservatives. Chuck Schumer said, we're coming for you, Neil
00:39:45.580
Gorsuch. We're coming for you, Brett Kavanaugh. And then what happened? A liberal takes a bus from
00:39:48.600
California to Washington, D.C. and tries to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh. Drag Chuck Schumer before that
00:39:53.920
committee. Drag Maxine Waters before that committee. Drag all these Democrats. Drag Kamala Harris, who
00:39:59.540
bailed out the rioters during BLM. Drag the Biden administration staffers who bailed out the rioters,
00:40:04.480
the violent people during BLM, who encouraged the BLM rights. Drag them, accuse them of incitement to
00:40:10.400
violence, accuse them of insurrection, accuse them of all the same stuff that they're accusing us of.
00:40:15.760
Make, look, I think there's a much stronger case that we have to make against the Democrats on these
00:40:20.740
grounds. But even if not, even if it's all just a big joke, then make a bigger mockery of this
00:40:25.440
than the Democrats did. Just shove it in their face. Or what are we going to do? We're going to
00:40:29.860
roll over. We're going to investigate Hunter Biden. We're going to find all sorts of perverted things
00:40:33.700
on the laptop. None of it's going to stick. Joe Biden is not going to be held to account for anything.
00:40:39.540
And then we're going to lose the House at some point, and then nothing happened. No. Fight back
00:40:44.960
against this nonsense. Show them that you are not going to take this lying down. We are just days away
00:40:50.020
from Christmas. And you cannot hide from the truth any longer. You still don't have gifts for
00:40:58.140
everyone on your list. I know it. That's true of me too. Okay. We all know it. Jeremy's Razors is here

00:42:23.060
What matters in politics is winning. We want to win in a just, moral, legal way. But assuming all of
00:42:35.720
those things, we have to win. We don't want to lose. We don't want to lose with dignity,
00:42:43.140
as some of the squishes often want us to do. There isn't usually very much dignity in losing
00:42:50.220
with dignity. You see this principle articulated by Donald Trump. And we now know this because
00:42:56.760
Hope Hicks was giving testimony to the January 6th commission. And Hope Hicks explained her
00:43:05.880
disagreements with and the advice that she gave to and the response she heard from President Trump
00:43:11.100
after the election. The select committee has obtained testimony from new witnesses who've come
00:43:18.180
forward to tell us about their conversations with ex-President Trump on this topic. Here is one of his
00:43:25.020
senior advisors. Hope Hicks. Seeing evidence of fraud on a scale that would have impacted the outcome of
00:43:38.240
the election. And I was becoming increasingly concerned that we were damaging, we were damaging
00:43:48.100
his legacy. What did the president say in response to what you just described? He said something along
00:43:55.340
the lines of, you know, nobody will care about my legacy if I lose. So that won't matter. The only thing
00:44:09.520
that matters is winning. Putting any particulars aside about Trump's behavior after the 2020 election,
00:44:20.500
I know some people think he fought like hell and that was a great thing. And some people say, no,
00:44:24.360
he didn't present proper evidence of fraud. And so what he did was irresponsible and it hurt his chances
00:44:29.620
of running again. Okay, whatever. That's not what I'm talking about right now. We can have those
00:44:33.580
disagreements. The principle that Trump is articulating here, according to Hope Hicks,
00:44:39.940
who is a very trusted advisor of his, is correct. What matters in politics, assuming we're all operating
00:44:47.960
within the bounds of justice and legality and morality, what matters is winning. This is a principle
00:44:53.700
that was articulated best, I think, by Cocaine Mitch, who, love him or hate him, the man knows a lot
00:45:00.700
about winning. The man is very, very good at wielding political power. And Cocaine Mitch said,
00:45:07.800
in response to one of his opponents, you got Pablo Escobar Mitch over here versus the DEA of his
00:45:15.160
opponents. And he said, the winners go to Washington and make laws and the losers go home. Say hello
00:45:26.100
to my little friend. And that's what he said. And the last part, I assume that's what he was
00:45:34.780
thinking. He's right about that. The winners make laws, the losers go home. Nobody is going to give
00:45:43.600
Trump a pat on the head and say, well, he, look, we called him Hitler for four years, well, like five or
00:45:48.740
six years, actually. And we fought him every step of the way and we impeached him twice. We just hate
00:45:53.300
him so much. But he, he had a great legacy. One-termers don't get great legacies. Even if
00:46:00.380
the liberal media pretend to like them a little bit as a way to attack whoever the presently dangerous
00:46:05.360
Republican is, in the long run, one-termers don't really get great legacies. Okay, what matters is
00:46:11.420
winning and doing and succeeding. Trump was totally right. Did it matter in the end? I don't know.
00:46:18.420
It remains to be seen because he's running again in 2024. Now, speaking of Trump's chances at winning
00:46:22.760
in 2024, new poll out from USA Today and Suffolk U showing that Ron DeSantis, Trump's chief GOP rival
00:46:31.740
right now, is currently leading Joe Biden in a nationwide head-to-head poll. DeSantis leads with
00:46:39.140
47% support, followed by Biden with 43% support. According to the poll, 65% of Republicans and GOP-leaning
00:46:46.200
voters want DeSantis to run for president. Trump does not perform as well against Biden in this
00:46:52.080
particular survey. Biden is leading Trump by seven points, 47 to 40. And the survey shows Republicans
00:46:59.540
prefer DeSantis over Trump by 23%. This is good news for DeSantis. This is bad news for Trump.
00:47:07.900
But it doesn't quite tell you what it seems to be telling you because the assumptions in the poll
00:47:14.940
are unrealistic. We're talking about here a nationwide head-to-head poll, but the election
00:47:23.960
does not take place nationwide. The election takes place in a handful of states, in a handful of counties.
00:47:30.340
And what really separates the election is not millions of votes or dozens or even 100 electoral votes,
00:47:37.780
though those numbers might look that way in the end. What actually determines the winner is usually,
00:47:43.780
and especially in recent years, 20,000 votes in this state, 40,000 votes in this state, 30,000 votes.
00:47:50.080
I mean, it could be 60,000, 70,000 votes to determine the entire election. So it doesn't really matter
00:47:54.440
how many people in California or New York like one candidate over the other. They're popular states,
00:47:59.380
but it doesn't really matter. What matters is what people in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
00:48:05.800
Wisconsin, Arizona, what matters is who they vote for. And what matters is who counts the votes,
00:48:12.840
especially if we're talking about Maricopa County in Arizona, we're talking about Philadelphia,
00:48:16.020
or we're talking about Atlanta in Georgia. That's what's going to determine it, okay? And so
00:48:21.960
this is all great news for DeSantis. DeSantis' world should be celebrating over this. Trump should
00:48:26.700
be genuinely scared about it. But it doesn't totally mean, also, we don't know if Biden will
00:48:32.800
be the Democrat nominee. He says he's going to be, but Democrats don't seem all that eager for it.
00:48:38.940
He'll be 80 years old. Does anybody really believe? Or maybe, I think he might already be 80. I think
00:48:44.600
he was 78 when he took office. So he'll be 82 for his second term. That seems pretty old to be doing
00:48:51.520
that job. And we don't know what the GOP primary process looks like. Trump has had everything thrown
00:48:58.600
at him. Ron DeSantis has had a lot thrown at him too, but still not at the national level. And then
00:49:02.560
there are other candidates who could emerge as well. Going to be quite a fight. Speaking of voting,
00:49:09.240
before we go, really great story out of Twitter. I haven't covered Twitter. Every day there's new
00:49:15.140
Twitter news, but at a certain point you think, okay, all right, Twitter, they'll sort it out.
00:49:18.380
It's a social media site. We all spend too much time on it anyway.
00:49:22.800
Elon Musk has just announced that in the future, as he makes policy by Twitter poll,
00:49:29.580
by popular vote, as Elon Musk has been doing recently, he is going to limit the people who
00:49:35.880
can vote to people who actually subscribe to Twitter Blue. That's the paid service on Twitter.
00:49:41.820
You pay a few bucks a month, maybe it's eight bucks a month now, and you will get certain perks,
00:49:47.240
and then you'll get to vote and have a stake in this. This is a great move. Well, it's a great
00:49:52.440
move for Twitter, but it's also something that we can learn from. It's a civics lesson for all of us.
00:49:59.440
The people who vote and who determine how our government, our politics is going to work
00:50:05.080
should be people who have some stake in the society. This is really basic stuff. The founding
00:50:12.480
fathers, the framers, the constitution all wrote about this. We've lost this idea in recent years
00:50:16.080
as we've made an idol out of democracy, as we've made an idol out of the popular vote.
00:50:21.340
There's a good role for democracy. There certainly can be in politics. There can be a role for popular
00:50:27.320
voting, for representational democracy, aspects of direct democracy. There can be roles for all
00:50:31.780
this stuff, but it's not the be all and end all, okay? It's not an idol that we should make.
00:50:35.380
And if you open up the vote to everybody, if you let five-year-olds vote, that's probably not
00:50:38.620
going to be very conducive to the flourishing of your republic. So there are always going to be
00:50:43.480
limits here. And one of the limits that the great men who built our country talked about,
00:50:48.200
that Elon is recognizing here, is the people who determine how the government should be run
00:50:52.680
ought to be people who have a real stake in things, who've got real skin in the game.
00:50:59.220
Amazing that we're taking political lessons from Twitter now, but it's because Twitter's new
00:51:02.960
management is a lot smarter than the old management and maybe the management of our current government.
00:51:08.140
Now, other really great news. People might be asking why I'm wearing this Puka shell necklace.
00:51:14.880
This is because I'm a man of my word. I don't welch on bets. And we took a bet before the midterms
00:51:21.000
about different shenanigans in the bet. I didn't completely lose, but I didn't totally win. And so
00:51:27.300
as part of that, I had to wear a Puka shell necklace. And I kind of like it, actually. I think it
00:51:30.680
compliments me very, very well. Certain other hosts at the Daily Wire are known to welch on their bets.
00:51:37.820
And some of their names actually sound a lot like that word. And some of their first names are
00:51:43.020
Matthew. And some of them sometimes, when they lose football games, don't want to fulfill their
00:51:47.860
obligations and call me Sweet Daddy Knowles. But I have to give Matt credit where credit is due.
00:51:54.120
On the backstage show, he did give me this as my Secret Santa. It is viewer discretion advised,
00:51:59.300
very disturbing. It's a picture of Sweet Daddy Knowles with my little sort of very luscious
00:52:07.480
Sicilian lips on this image. Nice coiffed hair there. And it says Sweet Daddy Knowles on there.
00:52:12.480
This is not available in the merch shop. I believe this is the only t-shirt of this kind that exists.
00:52:18.680
And I'm glad that it exists. At least Walsh went halfway toward fulfilling his obligations
00:52:25.260
and recognizing that I am a Sweet, Sweet Daddy. The rest of the show continues now.
00:52:30.560
Today is not Music Monday, but we're making it Music Monday because, you know, I'm a pop maven.
00:52:35.060
I was on the road yesterday. It was a little tricky to do the member block. So Ben Davies says that I am
00:52:41.920
now going to complete the pop music trifecta. We have done T-Swift. We have done the Biebs.
00:52:50.240
Now we are moving on to Ed Sheeran. If you're not a member, click the link in the description and join us.
