The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1185 - Elon Musk VS. The Totalitarian Psychos at WEF

00:00:00.000 Remember when the globalist elite told us that we needed a great reset of our economy,

00:00:05.800 political order, and really our whole society as a result of COVID?

00:00:11.000 Well, even before COVID ended, the Secretary General of the UN had begun to argue that the

00:00:16.700 real purpose of the great reset was not exactly to deal with the coronavirus,

00:00:22.740 but it was to fight to stop climate change.

00:00:25.900 In overcoming the pandemic, we can also avert climate cataclysm and restore our planet.

00:00:33.300 This is an epic policy test, but ultimately, this is a moral test.

00:00:40.280 The trillions of dollars needed for COVID recovery is money that we are borrowing from future generations,

00:00:47.660 every last penny.

00:00:48.920 And we cannot use those resources to lock in policies that burden them with a mountain of depth on a broken planet.

00:00:57.820 It is time to flick the green switch.

00:01:00.480 We have a chance not simply to reset the world economy, but to transform it.

00:01:06.760 A sustainable economy, driven by renewable energies, will create new jobs, cleaner infrastructure, and a resilient future.

00:01:13.680 And an inclusive world will help ensure that people can enjoy better health and the full respect of their human rights

00:01:20.760 and live with dignity on a healthy planet.

00:01:24.460 COVID recovery and our planet's repair must be the two sides of the same coin.

00:01:31.400 Now, you might be wondering, how did COVID policy become climate policy?

00:01:35.880 Well, the same way that inflation policy became climate policy.

00:01:41.540 You remember that?

00:01:42.500 When the Biden administration pushed his Inflation Reduction Act,

00:01:46.920 only to admit immediately after its passing that the bill wasn't really about inflation.

00:01:52.880 Inflation, which it didn't alleviate and probably made worse, but instead about fighting climate change.

00:01:59.100 Well, just yesterday, the UN Secretary General explained that the reason the COVID policy is now about climate change

00:02:06.040 is because everything is about climate change.

00:02:10.120 He lets that little fact slip with one word.

00:02:14.820 Biblical.

00:02:15.960 Rising sea levels combined with a deep intrusion of salt water

00:02:19.300 will make large parts of their huge deltas simply uninhabitable. 0.65

00:02:24.740 We see similar threats in the Mekong Delta and beyond.

00:02:29.100 The consequences of all of these are unthinkable.

00:02:34.040 Low-lying communities and the entire countries could disappear forever.

00:02:39.120 We would witness a mass exodus of entire populations on a biblical scale.

00:02:45.940 Biblical scale. 0.58

00:02:48.000 Kind of a funny phrase for a globalist elite that openly mocks religion,

00:02:52.880 the traditional moral order, even the existence of God.

00:02:55.680 But it makes sense when you realize that to a materialist, climate is literally everything.

00:03:04.240 It's all the stuff there is.

00:03:06.780 When religious politicians want to push some policy or another,

00:03:10.420 they tend to invoke God, the Ten Commandments, the natural law.

00:03:14.640 These modern, secular, globalist politicians can't do that.

00:03:19.520 But they still want to wield power.

00:03:21.320 And so their arguments transform into weird superstitions about the weather.

00:03:25.620 Claims that are just as apocalyptic as any religiously motivated political movement in history.

00:03:31.240 The only difference is that, while the old-timey religious politicians have traditionally been constrained by the fear of God,

00:03:38.980 these people have nothing holding them back in principle from wielding whatever power they want.

00:03:46.120 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:03:46.960 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:03:55.180 Welcome back to the show.

00:03:57.540 Later on in the show, we have a really important interview.

00:04:01.680 You know that I think that pretty much only one news story matters right now,

00:04:04.920 and it happens to be the story that the establishment media will not talk about.

00:04:08.700 That is the environmental catastrophe in Ohio.

00:04:13.340 The train derailed and sent a ton of poison all up into the air in East Palestine, Ohio.

00:04:19.760 We've got Lindsay Johnston, who is a wife and mother of two daughters,

00:04:23.420 who lives in the one-mile evacuation zone in East Palestine.

00:04:27.680 So because, unfortunately, the residents of East Palestine are not getting very much airtime right now,

00:04:33.260 and Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden are trying to just blow past this whole thing,

00:04:36.520 we will have her on the show a little bit later. 0.67

00:04:38.820 My favorite comment yesterday is from Frank S., who says,

00:04:42.400 Chelsea Handler's life without kids is so great that she had to make up 90% of her day. 1.00

00:04:47.440 Great observation.

00:04:48.220 In her video, which was supposed to be funny, I guess, she says,

00:04:52.800 I'm childless, so I wake up in the morning, and then I go right back to bed.

00:04:55.900 And then I pleasure myself, and she goes through some kind of normal things,

00:04:58.860 and then it becomes very quickly fantastical. 0.94

00:05:01.600 And she says, then I go to Paris, and then I kill Hitler, and then I do this, and then I do that.

00:05:04.780 And the joke here, I don't know if she really intended this,

00:05:08.280 is that all the people who say that they don't want to have kids,

00:05:11.700 and they don't want a family because they just want to amuse themselves all day long,

00:05:15.760 don't have all that much to do.

00:05:19.400 The millennials who say, oh, no, we don't want kids.

00:05:21.680 We want to go have brunch.

00:05:22.980 There's only so much brunch you can eat, okay?

00:05:25.420 Brunch goes for like an hour and a half or two hours.

00:05:28.020 What are you going to do with the rest of your day?

00:05:29.740 What are you going to do with the rest of your life?

00:05:32.440 If you want to just amuse yourself all the time,

00:05:34.760 George Bernard Shaw famously said that hell is the place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself.

00:05:41.260 We got to go do stuff.

00:05:42.340 And when you got to go do stuff, you've got to have some energy and some focus.

00:05:46.340 That's why you got to check out Black Rifle Coffee.

00:06:55.700 Speaking of one world government, speaking of the United Nations and the great resetters

00:07:00.960 and the globalists trying to take all of our political power away,

00:07:04.180 Elon Musk just showed up to the World Government Summit

00:07:08.420 and used his appearance as an opportunity to attack the very idea of world government.

00:07:16.040 One thing I should say, and I know this is called the World Government Summit,

00:07:19.640 but I think we should be maybe a little bit concerned about

00:07:23.640 actually becoming too much of a single world government.

00:07:28.040 If I may say that we want to avoid creating a civilizational risk by having,

00:07:34.940 frankly, this may sound a little odd, too much cooperation between governments.

00:07:42.040 You know, if you look at, say, history and the rise and fall of civilizations,

00:07:48.420 really all throughout history civilizations have risen and fallen,

00:07:52.140 but it hasn't meant the doom of humanity as a whole

00:07:55.020 because there have been all these separate civilizations that were separated by great distances.

00:08:01.820 And so, you know, say, like, while Rome was falling, you know, Islam was rising. 0.89

00:08:10.220 And so you had, like, you know, the sort of caliphate doing incredibly well 0.99

00:08:16.720 while Rome was doing terribly.

00:08:18.420 And that actually ended up being a source of preservation of knowledge and many scientific advancements.

00:08:27.220 Love it.

00:08:28.300 Well, Elon every day more and more shows that he is the people's billionaire.

00:08:34.600 He actually is doing things that matter politically to take power back from this crooked leftist globalist elite.

00:08:42.500 He's doing it in the big tech sector.

00:08:44.960 Obviously, he cracked the monopoly of the libs on big tech and through Twitter and then released the Twitter files

00:08:51.300 and brought some transparency.

00:08:52.500 Now he's making really important points at the One World Government Summit.

00:08:58.200 You know that I am no small government conservative.

00:09:01.340 I don't think the founding fathers were small government conservatives.

00:09:03.980 I think the idea of a small government in a country of 330 million people that spans from sea to shiny sea and has an empire overseas is laughable.

00:09:13.580 And it's never happened anywhere and it will never happen in real life.

00:09:16.660 But I am a strong proponent of limited government.

00:09:20.000 I want government to be confined to its proper limits.

00:09:23.740 And what these globalists, what the great resetters, what the one world government type elites want is no limits whatsoever.

00:09:32.680 It's amazing that we look back on forms of government from the 17th century, from the 16th century.

00:09:41.580 And we say, oh, that was terrible.

00:09:43.700 It was so backwards.

00:09:45.860 In those centuries, you had monarchies.

00:09:48.240 In fact, you had divine right monarchies who believed that they had a right from God to rule their nations.

00:09:57.220 Divine right monarchs claimed much less power than our current globalist elites.

00:10:04.360 Because divine right monarchs, at least, believed that they were held in check by God.

00:10:12.460 They were accountable to somebody.

00:10:14.260 And they were quite accountable to somebody because if they acted in a way that was unjust, they were going to roast for eternity.

00:10:22.600 Our current globalist elites, they don't believe that their power to rule comes from God.

00:10:28.120 They don't believe in God.

00:10:29.900 They don't think they're accountable at all.

00:10:31.880 They think their power to rule comes from their ability to get that power.

00:10:35.760 And they've done a bang-up job of taking power away from you in recent years.

00:10:39.020 And so there are no limits, in principle, to what they will do.

00:10:44.180 Divine right monarchs at least appreciated the principle of subsidiarity.

00:10:49.900 The emperors, the Holy Roman emperors, the emperors throughout history at least recognized the principle of subsidiarity.

00:10:56.860 That you would have decisions made at the most local level possible where those decisions could be made with competence.

00:11:03.440 Where power could be exercised with competence.

00:11:06.120 And then if it couldn't at a more local level, then you'd bring it up to another level, and another level, and another level.

00:11:10.760 We have that here in America.

00:11:11.780 We call it federalism.

00:11:13.020 You make decisions at the town level, then at the state, the county maybe, then at the state, then and only then at the national level.

00:11:19.440 At least that was the idea that our country was founded on.

00:11:22.400 That seems to have gone away.

00:11:24.020 As this liberal, globalist elite that wants more and more power at higher and higher levels has taken over.

00:11:34.420 This is a big threat.

00:11:38.680 And very few people are standing up against it.

00:11:41.800 Very few people who at least could be invited to these sorts of events are standing up against it.

00:11:46.520 Elon Musk happens to be one of them.

00:11:49.520 Now, speaking of governing the world, the U.S. diplomat who's sent to Afghanistan has obviously her work cut out for her. 0.72

00:12:00.500 A lot of problems in Afghanistan.

00:12:02.100 And she has decided that there's one special tool that she can offer to the women of Afghanistan to help alleviate their plight.

00:12:14.440 Which we'll get to in one second.

00:13:28.120 Karen Decker, the chargée d'affaires of the U.S. mission to Afghanistan.

00:13:32.320 This is the top diplomat that we have in Afghanistan.

00:13:34.780 Karen Decker recognizes that Afghans, and especially Afghan women, have a lot of challenges right now.

00:13:43.220 And so she's offering them some suggestions on how to improve their lives.

00:13:48.380 She tweets, quote,

00:13:50.760 Are Afghans familiar with hashtag black girl magic and the movement it inspired?

00:13:58.680 Do Afghan girls need a similar movement? 1.00

00:14:01.900 What about Afghan women? 1.00

00:14:03.620 Teach me.

00:14:04.600 Ready to learn.

00:14:06.200 Hashtag black history month. 0.77

00:14:09.280 At Beyonce.

00:14:11.060 At Lizzo.

00:14:12.600 At Regina King.

00:14:13.780 I don't know who Regina King is. 0.95

00:14:14.900 Afghan women come up to the embassy or consulate or whatever the U.S. has in Afghanistan. 0.75

00:14:22.620 They say, please, can we have bread?

00:14:25.200 Can we have money?

00:14:26.640 Can we not be terrorized by the Taliban? 0.67

00:14:29.300 Can you give us guns?

00:14:30.240 Can you give us?

00:14:31.160 And Karen Decker stands there. 0.98

00:14:33.420 She goes, I think the best I can do is a tweet about black girl magic.

00:14:36.760 Have you checked out black girl magic? 0.97

00:14:39.060 Oh, yeah.

00:14:39.740 Forget about money and guns and food and opportunities and power.

00:14:45.420 No, no, no.

00:14:45.780 What you need is black girl magic. 1.00

00:14:48.460 I don't know what black girl magic is. 0.99

00:14:50.300 I certainly don't possess any of it.

00:14:52.640 I'm not familiar with the movement that it inspired.

00:14:55.720 I'm skeptical that any such movement exists.

00:14:58.880 And I am totally convinced that black girl magic will not solve the problems that Afghan women face. 1.00

00:15:04.980 I'm not sure that anything will solve the political problems Afghan women face, but certainly not black girl magic. 1.00

00:15:11.180 I don't think Black History Month will solve their problems. 1.00

00:15:14.440 And I don't think even Beyonce will solve their problems.

00:15:18.580 This is not the first crazy tweet that Karen Decker has sent out.

00:15:22.840 Karen Decker tweeted out not that long ago, quote,

00:15:25.020 In 1960, four black students ordered coffee at a diner in Greensboro, North Carolina.

00:15:33.820 They were refused service, but they would not leave.

00:15:36.420 They came back the next day and a sit-in movement was born.

00:15:40.200 Has nonviolent protest ever been successful in Afghanistan?

00:15:43.980 Why or why not?

00:15:45.480 Hashtag Black History Month. 0.73

00:15:47.020 I'll answer Karen's question there.

00:15:48.900 No, nonviolent protest has never been successful in Afghanistan

00:15:52.520 because if you engaged in a nonviolent protest,

00:15:55.940 if you went into the Woolworths of Afghanistan and sat down at the lunch counter, 0.94

00:15:59.820 the Taliban would cut your head off. 0.97

00:16:01.780 That's why.

00:16:02.740 And that didn't happen here in America because America is a Christian country, 0.99

00:16:06.900 or at the very least it was.

00:16:08.300 And America is Western and comes from a civilization that is animated by Christianity. 0.93

00:16:13.420 And that's different than a civilization animated by Islam. 1.00

00:16:16.320 And because America has a tradition that beginning in the 18th century starts to become a little bit more liberal

00:16:25.260 and by the 20th century becomes quite liberal.

00:16:27.820 And the sort of nonviolent sit-ins that Karen Decker is referring to here

00:16:32.520 would have some political effect in America.

00:16:35.060 Whereas in Afghanistan, they wouldn't do a damn thing. 0.99

00:16:37.960 And Black History Month isn't going to help in any way to alleviate the plight of Afghan people. 0.53

00:16:42.980 These American libs, oh my goodness gracious, 1.00

00:16:47.220 every time an American diplomat sends out a tweet, I become about 25% more isolationist.

00:16:54.000 I'm not isolationist by nature, but every time I see some of this cringe-inducing nonsense,

00:17:00.080 this liberal piffle clap trap, I want to pull my hair out,

00:17:04.500 and I want to build a gigantic wall all around the continental United States,

00:17:09.260 and I want to just divorce our country from the rest of the world. 0.78

00:17:13.080 So embarrassing is this nonsense.

00:17:17.360 It tells you something, though. 1.00

00:17:18.400 It's not just that Karen Decker is crazy and silly and absurd. 0.99

00:17:23.060 No, that's not the issue. 0.99

00:17:24.840 She is articulating the beliefs of the liberal elites who control our country. 0.93

00:17:30.580 It's deeply unserious.

00:17:32.340 It's absurd to try to apply these lessons to Afghanistan.

00:17:35.260 We tried it for 20 years.

00:17:36.160 It didn't work.

00:17:36.720 Hence the problems that Afghanistan is in right now.

00:17:41.620 But what is she articulating?

00:17:43.420 What she is articulating is the slogans of the civil rights movement

00:17:48.200 and pretending that the slogans of the 1960s civil rights movement in America

00:17:51.740 will apply to the entire world.

00:17:54.600 It won't.

00:17:55.740 And why?

00:17:56.340 Why does everything seem to come back to the civil rights movement?

00:17:59.600 We talk about gay issues.

00:18:01.040 We talk about bathrooms.

00:18:02.260 We talk about women.

00:18:03.100 Even when we talk about conservatives, even when we talk about traditional American ideas,

00:18:08.500 for some reason, it always seems to be framed through the lens of the civil rights movement.

00:18:12.860 This is the new civil rights movement.

00:18:14.540 Even when we talk about the Second Amendment, we say, well, this is really about civil rights.

00:18:17.600 And it's kind of a new iteration of the civil rights movement.

00:18:20.060 Why?

00:18:20.320 Well, the reason is that the civil rights movement was so successful that it is essentially the

00:18:28.940 constitution that we have been living under for the past 60 years.

00:18:32.760 This was the thesis of a book by Christopher Caldwell, The Age of Entitlement.

00:18:36.500 Really, really great book, which argues that we now have two constitutions in America.

00:18:41.540 We've got the original one, the U.S. Constitution, you know, the one on parchment with the silly

00:18:44.960 handwriting.

00:18:45.380 And then we've got another one, which was the civil rights constitution from the 1960s.

00:18:50.140 And those two things are in conflict with one another, certainly on the matter of freedom of

00:18:54.060 association, but on a number of other matters too.

00:18:57.320 And his argument is that all of the major constitutional conflicts that we've been dealing with since

00:19:04.800 then are a result of the discrepancies between these two rather different constitutions that we

00:19:13.600 are simultaneously attempting to live under, and now apparently to export overseas.

00:19:21.440 Black girl magic. 0.98

00:19:22.640 I don't know.

00:19:23.380 I don't know.

00:19:23.740 I don't think it's going to help the women in Kabul. 0.97

00:19:25.360 Speaking of black people, the Georgia state senator, Emmanuel Jones, just highlighted the deep 1.00

00:19:34.280 unseriousness, but political danger of this new kind of liberal activism in a way that's kind

00:19:44.120 of banal, and we've all heard it before, but his explanation tells you a lot about it.

00:19:49.300 This guy, state senator Jones, called Clarence Thomas, you're going to be shocked to hear it,

00:19:54.880 an Uncle Tom.

00:19:56.320 Place a statue of Clarence Thomas on this grounds.

00:19:59.780 We cannot avoid that conversation, so I'm not going to avoid it either.

00:20:05.060 In the black community, we have an expression, and I don't want to use this label too deeply

00:20:13.020 here because I'm just trying to tell you what we have in the African American community.

00:20:18.260 When we talk about a person of color that goes back historically to the days of slavery and

00:20:24.320 that person betraying his own community, we have a term in the black community.

00:20:30.240 That term that we use is called Uncle Tom, and Uncle Tom is either a fictional or non-fictional

00:20:39.280 character.

00:20:40.000 I don't really know the origin of Uncle Tom, but it talks about a person who back during

00:20:44.920 the days of slavery sold his soul to the slave masters.

00:20:48.860 This Clarence Thomas, he's an Uncle Tom, and what's an Uncle Tom?

00:20:54.360 It's either a fictional or a non-fictional.

00:20:56.980 You know, come to think of it, I have no idea who the hell Uncle Tom is, but I'm going to

00:20:59.940 call Clarence Thomas one because I don't like him.

00:21:04.880 That sums it up perfectly.

00:21:06.800 That sums it all up. 0.99

00:21:08.940 Hey, I don't have any idea what I'm talking about, but screw you, Clarence Thomas. 0.97

00:21:14.200 Those are the attacks generally on Clarence Thomas and on most conservatives, but it shows 0.98

00:21:21.440 you something that I have been yelling about for years and wrote a whole book about that

00:21:27.560 became a number one national bestseller, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, and that

00:21:30.880 we've got to pay a lot of attention to.

00:21:34.080 Idioms crop up that people often use unthinkingly.

00:21:40.300 This guy is using the idiom Uncle Tom unthinkingly.

00:21:43.700 He doesn't know what it means, but that happens for a lot of us all the time.

00:21:49.580 Let there be light, forbidden fruit, am I my brother's keeper, fire and brimstone, the

00:21:56.240 blind leading the blind, go the extra mile.

00:22:00.460 All of those idioms come from the Bible.

00:22:02.820 Most people don't know that they come from the Bible.

00:22:05.980 In fact, many people who have never read the Bible, who don't believe in the Bible, will

00:22:11.080 use those idioms all the time.

00:22:12.540 That's how culture works.

00:22:15.100 Culture works by certain texts, by certain pieces of art, by certain rituals, just creeping

00:22:23.760 in and not only being inserted into your language, but actually coming to constitute your language.

00:22:31.460 And by constituting your language, it constitutes the way that you think.

00:22:34.420 And that's what you're seeing here with Uncle Tom.

00:22:36.960 Uncle Tom. This guy has no idea what the context of Uncle Tom is.

00:22:41.400 He just knows that Uncle Tom means black people aren't supposed to be conservative. 0.94

00:22:45.880 That's what he knows about Uncle Tom. 0.98

00:22:47.880 And so he just says it. Beep, boop.

00:22:49.420 He's not thinking. This is not a particularly conscious human being.

00:22:52.740 But he's just saying, beep, boop, beep.

00:22:55.080 Clarence Thomas, he's Republican.

00:22:56.980 He's conservative. Bad.

00:22:58.300 Beep, boop. Uncle Tom.

00:22:59.680 It's wrong.

00:23:00.340 You got to vote Democrat.

00:23:01.520 Beep, boop. 0.99

00:23:02.700 Beep, beep, boop. 1.00

00:23:03.180 And that's how culture works.

00:23:04.720 And the libs have done a very, very good job.

00:23:07.140 And as they are pushing the Bible out of our culture, as they're pushing the Bible out of 0.83

00:23:11.060 schools, they're pushing these idioms.

00:23:12.980 They're pushing these ways of thinking.

00:23:14.260 They're pushing this language out of our head.

00:23:16.540 That's why they're so obsessed about doing that. 0.99

00:23:18.820 That's why they're so obsessed about putting the weird gay porn and the weird liberal intersectionist 0.99

00:23:22.860 texts into the schools. 0.98

00:23:25.120 The reason they're doing that is not so you can learn some lesson about a racial hierarchy.

00:23:30.400 I mean, that's a secondary effect that they like.

00:23:32.760 But it's more so that your brain just becomes shaped and filled with this kind of language,

00:23:39.240 these kinds of images.

00:23:40.600 And so you will unthinkingly carry out their plans.

00:23:43.580 You won't even know that you're doing it.

00:23:45.500 You know, the European Union officially enacted a statute that allows food producers to incorporate

00:23:50.760 cricket powder into its flour-based products, not because it tastes better, but because the

00:23:56.300 political elites have deemed that eating the bugs is better for the environment.

00:24:01.560 And so right down to the food that you eat, the world wants to make you woke.

00:24:06.620 But not Dennis Prager.

00:24:07.760 He wants to make you wise.

00:24:09.600 And the founder of PragerU is going to do just that with a never-before-seen series exclusively

00:24:15.160 on Daily Wire Plus called The Master's Program with Dennis Prager.

00:24:18.780 Dennis is a mentor with a wealth of experience.

00:24:21.220 What the Master's Program aims to do is take 40 years of wisdom and experience from one

00:24:26.260 of the most influential conservative thinkers in America today and distill it all down to

00:24:30.420 its essence.

00:24:31.500 He covers such topics as the consequences of secularism and is human nature basically good?

00:24:36.900 It's as thought-provoking as it is illuminating.

00:24:39.160 A brand new episode of PragerU's Master's Program is available to stream right now exclusively on

00:24:44.340 Daily Wire Plus.

00:25:20.500 Now, speaking of actual political tokenism, China is attacking Pete Buttigieg.

00:25:27.280 When I see China attacking Pete Buttigieg, I'm reminded of the Iran-Iraq war in which I

00:25:32.560 want both sides to lose.

00:25:34.060 I want the war to be drawn out as long as possible, and I want both sides to lose.

00:25:37.460 China, through its propaganda outlet, the Global Times, is attacking Buttigieg over that

00:25:44.000 train incident in Ohio that spewed all the poison into the air.

00:25:47.160 We'll be speaking with a resident from East Palestine, Ohio, momentarily.

00:25:52.160 They're attacking Pete Buttigieg, and they say, instead of fixing these problems, federal

00:25:58.360 regulators have mulled a proposal backed by the rail lobby that would weaken existing brake

00:26:03.180 safety rules.

00:26:03.800 Notably, Buttigieg does not have any experience in transportation and was essentially a vanity

00:26:09.600 political appointee by the administration of President Joe Biden to help boost his political

00:26:14.960 score.

00:26:16.300 The secretary faced scrutiny recently, on and on and on.

00:26:21.400 I mention this because it shows you something about propaganda.

00:26:26.300 The Global Times is a state Chinese propaganda outlet.

00:26:29.680 They're attacking Pete Buttigieg over the Ohio incident to distract from the spy balloon incident

00:26:36.720 and China sending a bunch of surveillance over our country.

00:26:40.480 But the charge is that Pete Buttigieg is a vanity political appointee in over his head, manifestly

00:26:47.740 not capable of doing the job, who was only chosen because it helped to boost Joe Biden's political 0.54

00:26:53.680 score because Mayor Pete has some appeal to the Democrat base, and he's gay, and he ran for president, and so

00:27:00.920 they just put him in there.

00:27:03.240 That is obviously true.

00:27:06.180 The best propaganda is true.

00:27:10.100 We always think of propaganda as being dishonest, as being lies.

00:27:12.760 So sometimes that's the case.

00:27:13.840 The big lie is propaganda sometimes, which is a misunderstood phrase.

00:27:17.360 Ironically, it is a phrase used by the Nazis to accuse the Jews of telling a lie.

00:27:24.660 And now the Democrats use that phrase to call the Republicans Nazis without recognizing that

00:27:30.180 in their very use of the phrase, the Democrats are putting themselves in the very same place

00:27:33.940 as the Nazis.

00:27:34.680 Either way, it's neither here nor there.

00:27:37.340 Some propaganda is dishonest and lies.

00:27:40.380 The best propaganda is true.

00:27:43.320 And the propaganda China just put out about Mayor Pete happens to be true. 1.00

00:27:46.940 Speaking of propaganda, New York Times right now has an op-ed called Steve Bannon's Podcast

00:27:53.700 is Top Misinformation Spreader Study Says.

00:27:57.260 A large podcast study found that Mr. Bannon's war room had more falsehoods and unsubstantiated

00:28:01.440 claims than other political talk shows.

00:28:03.680 So this story is a New York Times article about a story that we covered on the show last week.

00:28:12.480 And the story that we covered on the show last week was a story about me.

00:28:15.280 Because it was a study that came out of the Brookings Institution that opened up with a quote from me

00:28:22.120 in which I, on the show with Senator Cruz, said that podcasts are the place where you can say

00:28:28.200 whatever you want.

00:28:29.620 Opens up with two or three paragraphs about me and this interaction and about how conservatives lie on podcasts.

00:28:35.920 Then the rest of the study goes on and says conservatives lie something like 11 times more than Democrats lie on podcasts.

00:28:42.320 And so I was looking at that study from Brookings and I pointed it out on the show.

00:28:46.700 I looked at just some of their most basic data points and I realized they were totally bogus.

00:28:51.600 One of the little graphs they had there was about the number of episodes that podcasters have produced.

00:28:58.660 And it had, I think all of the Daily Wire shows were listed there.

00:29:02.440 And I was looking and I noticed that it said that Drew and Matt had produced more episodes of their podcasts than I had.

00:29:11.580 Not that the episodes were more highly rated.

00:29:14.160 Not that the episodes were more conservative.

00:29:16.320 Not that the episodes told more lies.

00:29:17.800 No, it was just simply about the number of episodes produced.

00:29:20.840 And I looked at that and I said, I know that's not true.

00:29:24.540 I went to the Daily Wire website.

00:29:25.820 I looked at episode number and I realized I have more episode numbers than Drew and Matt do.

00:29:31.040 Simply because now Drew is once a week and Matt's show started after my show did.

00:29:34.600 So that's why I would have more episodes.

00:29:36.480 And I said, wait a second.

00:29:37.120 So they got that number wrong.

00:29:38.820 And I looked and I said, when did they start collecting data for this or stop collecting data?

00:29:41.960 I looked and I said, okay, it was a year ago.

00:29:43.400 So I said, okay, well, Drew, I guess then because the show wasn't only once a week.

00:29:47.420 So maybe that doesn't matter.

00:29:48.560 But even a year ago, I still had substantially more episodes out than Matt did.

00:29:54.480 And yet the graph said that Matt had substantially more episodes out than I did.

00:29:58.140 All of which is to say the data in that study were bogus.

00:30:03.480 The data weren't true.

00:30:05.100 Forget about how they measured disinformation spread in podcasts.

00:30:09.520 The way that they measure that was by going to left-wing fact-checking outlets,

00:30:14.700 which are really just left-wing opinion outlets.

00:30:17.280 But they try to have this patina of credibility.

00:30:20.220 So they say, well, we fact-checkers, hold on.

00:30:23.640 I've got to take off my DNC t-shirt and put on my fact-checker t-shirt.

00:30:27.220 Okay, I'm a fact-checker.

00:30:28.400 I'm going to say that when those Republicans said that the Democrats are bad, that's 10 Pinocchios.

00:30:33.360 That's a total lie.

00:30:34.540 And okay, now I'm going to go over here and I'm going to put my calculator statistician hat on.

00:30:39.440 And I'm going to punch in a bunch of numbers.

00:30:41.380 And they're going to be totally bogus, even on the most basic level, who is producing X number of podcasts.

00:30:50.560 And then I'm going to put it here in this nice survey from a left-wing think tank called Brookings.

00:30:54.540 And then, okay, here's our study.

00:30:56.540 And then what happens?

00:30:57.300 The New York Times. 0.97

00:30:58.300 And these are all the same liars. 0.94

00:31:00.340 The New York Times goes in. 0.70

00:31:01.380 They say, well, we've got this study now.

00:31:02.860 So we're going to publish this article. 1.00

00:31:04.620 And the article is that Republicans are big, fat liars. 1.00

00:31:08.100 That's it. 1.00

00:31:08.800 That's the process. 1.00

00:31:10.160 The process is you start with a leftist activist who says, I think Republicans are big, fat liars. 0.97

00:31:15.660 And then you launder that impulse through bogus statisticians, bogus fact checkers, and a bogus news outlet called the New York Times, all staffed by the exact same leftist activists. 0.95

00:31:30.680 And you say, well, this is very authoritative and scientific. 0.99

00:31:34.700 And our scientific, authoritative, white lab coat, brilliant PhD credentialed conclusion is, Republicans are big, fat liars. 1.00

00:31:42.620 I hate them. 1.00

00:31:44.260 It's bogus. 0.99

00:31:45.240 Total propaganda.

00:31:46.000 Very dishonest propaganda, too.

00:31:47.720 That is, however, how fake news becomes established.

00:31:51.500 That's it.

00:31:52.100 That's the process.

00:31:53.660 And it happens all the time.

00:31:55.000 I just happened to notice this one a little more clearly because it involved something that involved me and that I knew just immediately was false.

00:32:05.580 But this happens every day.

00:32:07.780 This happens every day.

00:32:09.540 And if you were still believing these people, I don't know that I can help you.

00:32:12.780 Speaking of political campaigns, Nikki Haley has formally kicked off her presidential campaign.

00:32:18.060 She had released a video some days ago saying, I'm going to run for president.

00:32:21.040 She just held her first rally.

00:32:22.420 And here is the campaign message.

00:32:23.900 I have always had a deep belief in America.

00:32:29.060 But I know America is better than all the division and distractions that we have today.

00:32:34.940 And I'm confident that the American people agree.

00:32:39.420 We're ready.

00:32:41.320 Ready to move past the stale ideas and faded names of the past.

00:32:46.300 And we are more than ready for a new generation to lead us into the future.

00:32:52.680 Okay, what is Nikki doing here in this launch? 0.91

00:32:57.280 She's opening up with a great dig at Joe Biden.

00:33:02.040 Not a direct dig, but a pretty clear dig.

00:33:04.600 She says, we're ready to move past the stale, old, desiccated names of the past.

00:33:09.080 So that's obviously a dig at Biden.

00:33:10.500 Biden's been in politics for over 50 years, national politics for over 50 years.

00:33:14.020 It's a bit of a dig at Trump.

00:33:16.520 Well, he's a name from the past.

00:33:17.920 He was president starting in 2017.

00:33:21.180 That was a long time ago.

00:33:22.520 Okay.

00:33:23.840 It's a dig at Trump.

00:33:25.600 It's a dig at maybe some of the other candidates.

00:33:27.540 And it's doubling down on Nikki Haley's centrist cred.

00:33:37.260 Nikki Haley has gotten some bona fides in lots of different areas of the right.

00:33:43.120 She worked for Trump.

00:33:45.300 She put her hand up at the UN and she stood up against the bad guys.

00:33:49.400 She also was more moderate and conciliatory when she was a governor of South Carolina.

00:33:54.940 She can talk very tough.

00:33:57.800 She can also be a little more moderate in her speech. 0.97

00:34:02.540 Which side is she going to run on? 0.99

00:34:04.660 She's picking the center lane, as she has to. 0.92

00:34:08.460 She's not going to run to the right of Trump.

00:34:10.700 Very few people can run to the right of Trump.

00:34:13.000 DeSantis is attempting to run to the right of Trump right now and is being fairly successful at it.

00:34:18.820 Nikki Haley is not going to run to the right of those guys.

00:34:21.060 If you get a Ted Cruz in the race, if you get a Josh Hawley in the race,

00:34:24.940 Nikki Haley is not going to run to the right of them. 0.75

00:34:28.480 And so I think she very wisely is saying, no, I'm going to run more of a centrist campaign.

00:34:33.100 And the proof of this is that her campaign message is, we're going to move beyond the past.

00:34:41.400 Which is the sort of thing that a lot of politicians say,

00:34:44.040 but if you're running a centrist campaign, it carries even more significance.

00:34:47.060 The super right-wing conservative campaign slogan would be return to the past.

00:34:53.720 Return with a V instead of a U. 0.98

00:34:55.460 Return to tradition.

00:34:57.540 The conservative campaign slogan would be,

00:35:01.620 we're going to look to the past and take the wisdom of the past and bring it into the present.

00:35:07.600 And launch it forward into the future.

00:35:10.280 We're going to draw on the best of our tradition.

00:35:13.340 And then we're going to bring that forward.

00:35:14.860 The center-right to kind of more moderate, even say classical liberal campaign slogan is,

00:35:25.820 forget about the past.

00:35:26.700 The past is the past and we're in the present.

00:35:28.480 We're going to look toward the future.

00:35:30.940 That is going to be Nikki Haley's campaign slogan.

00:35:35.840 I know a lot of conservatives aren't going to like that very much.

00:35:38.080 But I do think that that line has some appeal.

00:35:41.480 I think that the number of Burkean conservatives wearing tweed and looking back to the glorious

00:35:49.200 days of the Holy Roman Empire is a relatively small number of Americans.

00:35:54.160 And so Nikki Haley is making a really mainstream play.

00:35:58.060 The question is, can that message resonate in the primary where the conservatives have a lot more say?

00:36:04.940 I'm not so sure, but I still don't think it's a mistake for her not to run further to the right.

00:36:12.580 People need to know their lane.

00:36:14.980 Right now, the lane she's running in is pretty wide open.

00:36:18.200 The right-wing lane is getting very crowded with very, very big personalities.

00:36:22.160 Speaking of politicians, speaking of the center and the right kind of moving, moving so far to

00:36:29.700 the left now that the hard, strong right-wing position is that men are not women and women 0.79

00:36:33.800 are not men.

00:36:34.720 Arkansas State Senator Matt McKee is under fire right now for grilling a transgender witness.

00:36:43.420 This is a dude dressed up as a chick.

00:36:46.520 And he asked this man a question that you are no longer allowed to ask the transgender people.

00:36:53.280 Senator McKee, you're recognized.

00:36:55.640 Are you telling us that you're unfamiliar with a large body of medical evidence of the harm

00:37:00.520 that has come upon people that have gone through these processes?

00:37:03.660 I'm familiar with a large body of evidence that shows that providing good affirming care saves lives.

00:37:08.380 Are you saying that you're unaware of the large body of medical evidence of the harm

00:37:13.400 that has come upon these people in these processes that have been gone through?

00:37:16.780 Are you unaware of that body of evidence?

00:37:18.880 I will repeat what I just said.

00:37:20.180 Are you unaware of that body of evidence?

00:37:21.200 I will repeat what I just said.

00:37:22.880 You said that you're a trans woman.

00:37:24.700 A trans female, yes, ma'am, sir. 1.00

00:37:26.460 Do you have a penis? 1.00

00:37:34.580 That's horrible. 1.00

00:37:35.580 You're the one that brought that into the discussion. 0.98

00:37:39.660 I never said anything about genitalia.

00:37:42.600 Oh, yeah, everything. 0.98

00:37:44.140 That's horrible.

00:37:45.100 How dare you ask the...

00:37:48.260 Why is that so bad?

00:37:50.200 I remember this was a big deal when some confused man went on a talk show.

00:37:54.460 I think it was Laverne Cox, whatever his real name is, from Orange is the New Black.

00:37:59.880 And he went on one of the network talk shows.

00:38:01.680 And the interviewer said, do you have, do you still have your, do you still have the goods?

00:38:07.520 And this was so shocking.

00:38:09.100 How dare you?

00:38:09.360 You can't ask this person that question.

00:38:12.040 Why not?

00:38:14.620 The crux of a lot of opposition to transgenderism, don't forget, 80% opposition in America to

00:38:21.920 transgenderism, specifically as it applies to kids, hinges on the idea that dudes can go into

00:38:27.200 the girls' locker room and get naked. 1.00

00:38:29.360 So whether or not a person has their genitals is a pivotal question here. 0.98

00:38:37.440 How dare you ask that question? 0.74

00:38:39.480 Good on this guy, Matt McKee.

00:38:40.780 I hope that a lot of conservatives take this lesson and not only don't run away from the left

00:38:48.340 wing, oh my goodness, clutching my pearls.

00:38:50.720 I hope they actively seek it out.

00:38:52.520 I hope that in every one of these testimonies about the transgender issue, I hope that the

00:38:59.120 conservatives ask this question.

00:39:01.860 Seek it out.

00:39:03.220 This is a winning issue for us.

00:39:04.820 And the more that the radical pro-trans people in the room start screaming like banshees,

00:39:14.580 the more the normal sane people are going to be convinced that they are right about this

00:39:20.560 issue.

00:39:21.100 Keep it up.

00:39:21.580 Good job, State Senator Matt McKee.

00:39:24.060 I really wanted to get to the craning company, Will Thomas, Leah Thomas story today.

00:39:29.740 They had an explosive interview about that swimmer, the big giant dude who swims on the

00:39:36.040 girls' team and takes the trophies away from all the girls at UPenn.

00:39:39.560 But we don't have time to do that.

00:39:41.060 We've got to get to a more important story, I think.

00:39:43.080 So we'll get to that tomorrow.

00:39:44.300 If you haven't watched the Crane & Co interview on this, though, make sure you go check out

00:39:47.520 that interview today.

00:39:49.640 Because right now we turn our attention away from the seemingly perennial political issues

00:39:55.700 of the transgender agenda, the radical cultural agenda, even the Great Reset agenda.

00:40:02.380 We turn now to a major news story that is not getting nearly enough attention in Ohio.

00:40:09.800 This would be the train derailment that sent vinyl chloride and a number of other very,

00:40:16.680 very dangerous chemicals up into the atmosphere.

00:40:20.200 Local officials burned this stuff off.

00:40:22.560 It put phosgene into the air, that was poison gas from World War I, put hydrochloric acid

00:40:27.740 into the air.

00:40:29.120 It killed a lot of animals in the town.

00:40:31.900 It caused an evacuation, though now the authorities are saying, oh, that's okay.

00:40:35.720 It's not a big deal.

00:40:36.560 Everything's fine.

00:40:37.240 Don't worry about your water.

00:40:38.160 Don't worry about your air quality.

00:40:39.700 Come on back here.

00:40:40.620 Let's get those news cameras out of Ohio and let's go back to normal.

00:40:44.820 Well, if that's the case, how come we aren't hearing from people in the town itself?

00:40:48.660 We will do that today with Lindsay Johnston, a 26-year-old wife and mother of two daughters

00:40:54.040 who lives in the one-mile evacuation zone in East Palestine, Ohio.

00:40:59.520 Lindsay, very sorry what happened to your town and thank you for coming on the show.

00:41:03.760 Thank you for having me, Michael.

00:41:05.260 So, Lindsay, before we get to the reaction, what happened as you and your neighbors have

00:41:12.540 seen it?

00:41:14.740 So, my husband and I were actually, we were out of town just a few miles up north when

00:41:20.900 it happened.

00:41:21.720 And when we were on our way back, we had a bunch of people texting us, you know, are

00:41:25.740 you guys okay?

00:41:26.920 What's going on up there?

00:41:28.820 And we hadn't heard anything about it yet.

00:41:31.840 So, we got home and we had been like watching things on the news and we just started packing

00:41:38.260 immediately.

00:41:39.860 I don't think it was until later that they came around, they came around with speakers

00:41:46.480 and their cars saying, you know, you should evacuate.

00:41:49.220 But at that point, it wasn't mandatory yet.

00:41:51.880 But we did leave that night.

00:41:55.940 So, we've been in, we've been out for, I think, 12, 13 days now.

00:42:01.060 Um, but I mean, as of right now, they say that it is safe for us to return home.

00:42:08.960 Um, they, you know, February 6th, they were saying that there was, um, the wine's words

00:42:17.260 were, we were facing grave danger of death.

00:42:20.620 Um, they were threatening child endangerment charges to anybody that did stay behind if they

00:42:25.840 had children with them.

00:42:26.940 And then two days later, they said, it's absolutely safe to go home.

00:42:31.060 How on earth are they going to reconcile those two statements?

00:42:36.200 I mean, we, we've seen news reports that say, oh, there's no big deal.

00:42:40.540 There's no health risk, not even to your animals.

00:42:42.860 We've, we're testing the air, we're testing the water.

00:42:44.700 And then you see the pictures in the videos of people who, who are looking at all of their

00:42:49.960 chickens lying dead, whose, whose animals have died.

00:42:53.420 Obviously, there's poison everywhere.

00:42:55.100 How is, how is all that poison just cleared out of town?

00:42:58.360 Poison that could have killed your children if you spent the night there.

00:43:00.880 How could that possibly clear out of town in 48 hours?

00:43:04.080 Right, exactly.

00:43:04.780 Those are exactly our thoughts.

00:43:06.600 Um, we know that there are some people that have returned, um, and have gotten sick.

00:43:13.220 Um, I know our neighbors went home for a day and they, um, I think they and their, one of

00:43:19.620 their children broke out in a rash, um, had scratchy throats.

00:43:23.040 I went back for just a half an hour to get some stuff from our house and I left with a

00:43:28.780 scratchy throat.

00:43:29.940 Um, my husband's been at our house a few times to clean.

00:43:34.060 Um, and he said that for the last three days, he's been having trouble breathing.

00:43:38.820 Um, yeah, it's, I mean, they've found at least 3,500 dead fish in the streams and I mean,

00:43:48.920 all the time on, you know, our East Palestine Facebook groups and things there, people are

00:43:53.280 posting pictures of their animals and dead animals that they find with no, you know, indication

00:43:58.840 of trauma or anything.

00:44:00.600 Um, they're just dead with no explanation.

00:44:03.400 How far out of town have you evacuated?

00:44:08.300 Um, right now we are in Negley, um, which is just the next town over.

00:44:13.340 We're on the far end of Negley, um, with my mom.

00:44:16.340 Um, we had been, we'd been probably a half an hour out of town before that.

00:44:21.600 Um, we were in two separate hotels, like going from different places and stuff, trying to figure

00:44:26.180 stuff out.

00:44:26.800 But, um, I know this is, you know, for a lot of people in town, it's hard to,

00:44:33.000 manage this.

00:44:34.300 It's hard to afford, nobody planned for this to have to spend two weeks in a hotel room.

00:44:40.120 And I'm sure plenty of people are also thinking, okay, you go one town over, you go two towns

00:44:45.440 over.

00:44:45.920 Well, we've just talked about an historic chemical explosion.

00:44:50.220 It's not as though, you know, these places are going to be unaffected as well.

00:44:53.680 What are the authorities doing and saying in town?

00:44:58.100 Um, I mean, you know, there was, there was a town hall meeting last night, um, and our

00:45:09.280 mayor has said, you know, that he's fed up as well.

00:45:11.740 Um, but we're really not seeing a lot happening.

00:45:16.660 Um, I, I feel like we're not holding Norfolk as accountable as we should be.

00:45:23.460 Um, they rebuilt the railroad before the evacuation was even lifted.

00:45:29.640 They rebuilt it over contaminated soil.

00:45:32.600 And, you know, it's mostly the help is coming from local organizations, getting together,

00:45:39.700 donating water, donating, you know, things to people that need it, um, sending food to

00:45:44.240 the hotels where there are a lot of residents.

00:45:46.840 Um, but I mean, their official statements are it's safe to return home.

00:45:52.200 The water is safe to drink.

00:45:53.440 But I mean, even Mike DeWine said that he would be drinking bottled water.

00:45:56.500 Um, you know, and he said that he would return home, but I think that he would also have the

00:46:01.900 financial ability to get, you know, private testing done instead of the testing that's

00:46:07.800 being contracted out by Norfolk Southern.

00:46:11.320 This seems to be the biggest environmental disaster on U.S. soil in probably in my lifetime.

00:46:19.140 I mean, you, you think about maybe 9-11 or, you know, a major terror attack, uh, accepted

00:46:25.600 in terms of just an actual accident, environmental catastrophe, you know, clogging up the air and

00:46:31.580 the water.

00:46:31.980 I haven't seen anything like it.

00:46:34.240 Where's the federal government?

00:46:35.560 I assume Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg hasn't come by.

00:46:39.180 I know that President Biden hasn't come.

00:46:41.020 Have you seen anything from the federal government?

00:46:43.880 Well, our county is, uh, in, in the last election, our county.

00:46:48.960 We voted 71% Republican.

00:46:51.840 So I, uh, I kind of feel like maybe we're not that important to the federal government.

00:46:57.000 Wow.

00:46:57.640 And especially with all the language about the flyover country and the deplorables and

00:47:01.420 the irredeemables and let small town America die. 0.68

00:47:04.420 Yeah, it's no surprise.

00:47:05.440 I'm not surprised that East Palestine has been completely overlooked by the Biden administration,

00:47:11.000 by the establishment media, by pretty much everybody.

00:47:15.100 But once this news story goes away, as the people who write our news are trying to do

00:47:21.180 more and more so by the hour, you're still going to have to live there.

00:47:25.200 This is where your homes are.

00:47:27.060 This whole town's going to have to live with this.

00:47:29.220 And we can hear that the air is safe and the water's safe.

00:47:31.980 Nobody actually believes that.

00:47:33.440 You're telling me that your neighbors and even your husband are experiencing this is not safe.

00:47:38.480 They are getting sick when they go back to clean the homes.

00:47:41.040 So it's obviously just a complete crock that's coming from the authorities and it's going

00:47:45.640 to go on for years.

00:47:46.440 And so what's going to happen?

00:47:47.400 You live in this town for five years, 10 years, 20 years.

00:47:50.620 What, what consequences are you going to have to deal with that the railroad isn't going

00:47:54.360 to have to deal with, that the government's not going to have to deal with, that everybody

00:47:57.240 is just going to look past?

00:47:58.500 It's a really, really awful situation.

00:48:01.220 I guess the only thing we can do is call some attention to it and demand that the government 0.98

00:48:05.300 do a damn thing about it. 0.98

00:48:07.140 Yeah, yeah. 0.99

00:48:11.080 I mean, we're all concerned of what, you know, what health issues we might all experience

00:48:15.640 down the line.

00:48:16.680 And I mean, our home values, who, who's going to buy, who, if we decide to move away, what

00:48:23.180 are we going to do?

00:48:23.880 Who's going to buy?

00:48:26.460 You know, it's, people can't, if they're homeowners, they can't just up and leave.

00:48:32.700 If you rent, it might be a little bit easier for you, but you know, we own our home.

00:48:35.940 And so what are we supposed to do?

00:48:37.680 How are we supposed to, you know, avoid this when we don't know what's going to happen in

00:48:42.120 the future and we don't believe what they're telling us?

00:48:44.920 Right.

00:48:45.180 And rightly so.

00:48:46.120 There's no reason that you should believe what they're telling you.

00:48:48.840 In fact, your own experience is proving that what they're saying is not true.

00:48:52.500 Lindsay, we'll have to leave it there.

00:48:54.000 You will be in our prayers, as will everybody in East Palestine.

00:48:57.200 And I hope that there is a little more political help that comes your way from the people who

00:49:02.860 are, who are absolutely overlooking you and the rest of the people in your community right

00:49:08.860 now.

00:49:09.580 Lindsay Johnston, thanks so much for coming on the show.

00:49:11.920 Thank you.

00:49:12.780 The rest of the show continues.

00:49:14.000 Now we actually have another great person to talk to.
