The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1191 - The Joke's On SNL After Woody Harrelson's Brutal Monologue

00:00:00.000 Three years ago, you probably only heard skepticism of the COVID regime

00:00:04.760 on this show. Maybe a handful of others, maybe from your crazy conservative uncle. 0.95

00:00:11.620 Within the last year or so, you may have heard COVID skepticism from your center-right,

00:00:18.800 or maybe even center-left friends. Now you are hearing it during the opening monologue

00:00:25.440 on Saturday Night Live. This country seems so divided, beautiful, ugly, black, white, blue,

00:00:33.500 red. I love everybody. Maybe because I'm a redneck hippie. You know, the red in me thinks

00:00:41.580 you should be allowed to own guns. The blue in me thinks squirt guns. So I'm red and blue,

00:00:50.340 which makes purple. So the movie goes like this. The biggest drug cartels in the world get together

00:00:57.720 and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world to stay

00:01:03.600 locked in their homes. And people can only come out if they take the cartels' drugs and keep taking

00:01:10.520 them over and over. I threw the script away. I mean, who is going to believe that crazy idea

00:01:17.780 being forced to do drugs? I do that voluntarily all day long. Anyway.

00:01:25.600 My favorite part of Woody Harrelson's bit, which is broadly this long drug joke,

00:01:31.820 but within it is this brutal joke about how COVID was just completely insane and bogus.

00:01:38.860 My favorite part was the audience reaction. Because later on they laugh, but in that little COVID bit,

00:01:45.040 they're almost totally silent. Liberal New Yorkers were trained for three years to take COVID super

00:01:52.300 duper seriously. Now it's being presented to them as a joke. Some of us knew from the beginning that

00:01:59.260 pretty much the whole thing was bogus, but they did not. And now we're finding out that the so-called

00:02:05.080 conspiracy theorists were right all along. That fact is so obvious that they are now joking about it

00:02:11.800 on Saturday Night Live. The ruling elite screwed up our lives over nothing. And in the audience's

00:02:18.240 defense, it's tough to accept that something we believe to be so serious was in fact a joke. And

00:02:24.600 the joke, of course, was on all of us. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:28.920 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from the Darson, who says the

00:02:40.660 greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making women think their luggage never existed. You know,

00:02:46.680 almost. I would say that was the greatest trick that a sort of minor demon pulled. So maybe who

00:02:52.600 worked in the Biden administration, but not the devil himself, just one of those sort of lesser 0.91

00:02:57.840 lesser demons, devils running around out there. When you want to stay alert, and I recommend you

00:04:15.000 I loved Woody Harrelson's bit. You see how he sets it up there. He's giving himself runway with

00:04:21.140 the audience, which is much more liberal than he is. But Woody Harrelson has cred on both sides of

00:04:26.460 the aisle because, as he says, he's a redneck hippie. So he's kind of a right winger, he's kind

00:04:31.600 of a left winger. Woody Harrelson is in many ways your average voter. That's why it matters that Woody

00:04:40.720 Harrelson is making jokes about COVID now. I think this is insane. The drug companies,

00:04:46.960 they have so much control over the media, so much control over the government. They get special

00:04:51.800 legal protections. They lock us all up and say the only way you can leave your house is if you

00:04:55.380 take our drug again and again and again. That's kind of crazy, isn't it?

00:05:00.040 People like Woody Harrelson or Joe Rogan or Elon Musk or people who are, they're not right-wingers

00:05:07.220 exactly, but they're not leftist liberals. They represent, I think, the average voter.

00:05:16.880 And so when the libs lose those guys, that is really, really dangerous for them in the elections.

00:05:23.380 Why do people joke about this now? The reason that people are joking about COVID is because

00:05:29.300 another government agency just concluded that a lot of what we were told about COVID was fake.

00:05:34.380 The Energy Department, with its network of US national laboratories, just revised its assessment

00:05:40.680 to say, with low confidence, but nevertheless, they're saying this, that the pandemic very likely

00:05:46.860 began with a lab leak. Remember, the first story we told was that the pandemic began with a bad batch

00:05:54.440 of bat soup at a Wuhan wet market that just coincidentally was right down the street from a

00:05:58.580 bio lab, but pay no attention to that. That's a crazy conspiracy theory. Already, we've got the

00:06:04.380 National Intelligence Council and four agencies, four other agencies that the Wall Street Journal

00:06:09.920 refuses to identify, still believes with low confidence in the natural emergence theory,

00:06:15.820 the Wuhan wet market theory. The FBI said two years ago now with moderate confidence that it probably

00:06:21.480 began with the lab leak. The CIA and two other agencies still have not quite made a determination,

00:06:26.500 but I think we see which way this is trending. Okay, that conspiracy theory that some people were

00:06:35.860 talking about in 2020, every single day that goes by seems to seem less fantastical and more and more

00:06:43.200 correct. Because as many of us have noted before, the difference between a conspiracy theory and the

00:06:48.680 truth these days is about six to 12 months. Now, Apoorva Mandavili, who is a writer with the New York

00:06:56.660 Times, she tweeted out in 2021. She said, someday, we will stop talking about the lab leak theory and

00:07:04.140 maybe even admit its racist roots. But alas, that day is not yet here. That was two years ago. Two years

00:07:11.800 later, the theory is almost entirely vindicated. All the authorities on this are leaning in that

00:07:18.500 direction. New York Times looks ridiculous, as it always does. So we can say, good, we were right. 0.85

00:07:24.280 We were right. Watching the Woody Harrelson monologue, we can say, oh, good, we were right.

00:07:28.780 Watching the shift in public opinion, watching the way that people contracted the virus, watching the

00:07:34.680 efficacy of the masks and the vaccines, all the studies that are coming out now showing that perhaps

00:07:38.740 the vaccines were not quite so effective as we were told they were. In fact, a major study we talked

00:07:42.520 about last week showing they weren't effective at all. The vaccine mandates, citywide, not effective

00:07:48.840 at all, according to a study that we also cited last week. So we can say we were right. It's not

00:07:53.580 enough to be right. It is not enough to be right. Because you know what's going to happen to Apoorva

00:07:59.760 Mandavili at the New York Times, who got the lab leak theory totally wrong, it would seem?

00:08:03.980 Nothing's going to happen to her. Do you know what's going to happen to the companies that

00:08:08.480 fired employees for not taking the Fauci ouchie, for the government bureaucrats fired people for

00:08:13.300 not taking that Fauci ouchie, for the public officials who lied to us or at least were

00:08:18.880 incompetent enough to get the whole pandemic wrong, but who also lied to us? You know what's

00:08:24.640 going to happen to them? Probably nothing. It's not enough to be right. Because we're right now,

00:08:29.220 we've been right in the past, we're always right. But they're just going to pull another trick in six

00:08:34.440 months or a year. And we're going to be right again, and they're going to be wrong, and it's

00:08:38.720 not going to matter because they're going to have the power. So what we have to do is hold people to

00:08:42.500 account. Last year, during the midterm elections, I jokingly suggested something called the Michael

00:08:48.920 Knowles Public Health Protection Pledge. And it said that I won't vote for anybody in a federal

00:08:53.580 election who doesn't promise to zero out Dr. Fauci's salary and investigate him. And Rand Paul

00:09:02.040 at that same time was going after Dr. Fauci pretty hard. Representative Paul Gosar actually entered in

00:09:07.340 my public health protection pledge as a congressional resolution, started to pick up among some

00:09:12.180 candidates. And once the polls started to look as though the Republicans were going to retake the

00:09:16.960 House, what did Dr. Fauci say? He said, peace, see you later, I'm out of here.

00:09:21.120 I don't, because even beyond what I was saying on the podcast, even beyond what Rand Paul was saying

00:09:26.060 on the floor of the Senate, it was pretty clear that the Republicans had this guy in their sights.

00:09:31.640 And so Fauci said, okay, I want to leave. And he admitted he was leaving in part because he thought

00:09:35.980 that would take some of the political pressure off. There are going to be a lot of Republicans

00:09:39.020 who say, okay, Fauci's old news. The pandemic was three years ago. Let's just move on.

00:09:43.320 Don't move on. You have to hold these people to account. If you don't drag Fauci before Congress,

00:09:48.680 if you don't go after him for perjuring himself, which he certainly did, if you don't go after the

00:09:55.360 other people who lied to us about COVID and screwed up everybody's lives for three years,

00:09:59.440 they're just going to do it again. You can't just say, let bygones be bygones.

00:10:05.200 They're already setting up the stage for the next big political power grab. Don't let them get away

00:10:11.740 with this. You've got to teach them that there are consequences. Speaking of holding people to

00:10:16.640 account, wonderful story out of Florida yesterday, which is that they executed a murderer.

00:10:23.100 Governor Ron DeSantis refused to pardon this guy. His name is Donald Dilbeck, career criminal,

00:10:31.260 and he was executed. This is a guy who was convicted of the 1990 murder of a woman,

00:10:38.520 Faye Lamb van, a mother in a Tallassee Mall parking lot. And he was only able to murder her

00:10:46.140 because he had escaped from prison where he was at the time serving a life sentence for killing a

00:10:50.760 sheriff's deputy in 1979. This is a bad, bad dude. Now, this was the first execution in Florida in more

00:11:00.040 than three years. It was the 100th execution since the Supreme Court allowed the practice to resume in

00:11:06.400 1975. And Ron DeSantis is going pretty hard after this. He's been a tough law and order kind of

00:11:13.560 governor. And he's saying, well, if you kill somebody, we're going to kill you back. 0.99

00:11:17.940 The final words of this man, Donald Dilbeck, are what really, to me, tell the whole story. 0.95

00:11:26.900 So after the family of the woman that he murdered wrote, they said, 11,932 days ago,

00:11:32.860 Donald Dilbeck brutally killed our mother. We were robbed of years of memories with her,

00:11:36.640 and it has been very painful ever since. However, the execution has given us some closure.

00:11:40.460 We're grateful to Governor DeSantis for carrying out the sentence.

00:11:43.460 What were the final words of this murderer? He said, I know I hurt people when I was young. I

00:11:48.260 really messed up, but I know Ron DeSantis has done a lot worse. He's done a lot worse than murdered

00:11:52.600 two people, one of whom was a mother. He's taken a lot from a lot of people. I speak for all men,

00:11:56.960 women, and children. He's put his foot on our necks. Ron DeSantis and other people like him

00:12:01.880 can suck our, that he names an appendage, which I won't name. Those are his final words. Ron DeSantis 0.99

00:12:09.240 can suck my appendage. And my conclusion from that is, this guy didn't learn anything. 1.00

00:12:18.800 This murderer, this double murderer, guy who kills a mother in cold blood in a parking lot,

00:12:24.260 32 and a half years he was in prison. He didn't learn anything.

00:12:29.600 One of the arguments against the death penalty is, we need to give these guys time to change their

00:12:35.400 mind, to repent, to rehabilitate. First of all, hanging concentrates the mind. I sometimes think

00:12:41.440 a shorter time scale to consider repentance is better than a longer one. But even look at the

00:12:46.900 long one. 32 and a half years wasn't enough to change this guy's mind. Those are the final words

00:12:50.740 he wants to go out on. Doesn't learn a damn thing in prison. Doesn't seem to have any remorse whatsoever. 0.80

00:12:57.100 See you, buddy. The civil authority does not wield the sword in vain. And people need to know,

00:13:02.820 the public needs to know that there are consequences to bad actions. This is basic incentives. If you don't

00:13:09.560 punish bad behavior, you're going to get more bad behavior. If you don't reward good behavior,

00:13:15.600 then you're less likely to get more of that good behavior. Basic incentives. And some of those basic

00:13:21.000 government incentives include the noose, or in this case, the lethal injection. You too will die

00:13:49.140 jacket. A will protects your wishes and your family, should something happen to you. When you

00:13:54.480 have one, you have peace of mind because you know you've done your best to protect the ones you care

00:14:37.420 Forget for a moment Ron DeSantis, who's done a great job on crime and law and order down in Florida.

00:14:43.760 Let's turn it up a notch a little bit. Let's take a look down at El Salvador. El Salvador,

00:14:49.440 not known for being the safest place in the world. Probably not where you want to go honeymoon. And

00:14:55.080 yet, El Salvador has had, it's a miracle political program. Over the last couple of years, El Salvador's

00:15:04.060 murder rate has plummeted by 50%. El Salvador, with a new president, President Naib Bukili,

00:15:14.020 has had its murder rate tumble 56.8% in 2022 alone. How did El Salvador do that?

00:15:25.280 It wanted to do that. It wanted to fix the murder problem. It mustered the political will to do it.

00:15:34.560 And then the president, effecting this policy, sent in troops to go round up MS-13 like the animals

00:15:44.720 that they are. They just released a propaganda video. It's an amazing propaganda video.

00:15:48.660 So you see the MS-13 gangsters in this prison, this supermax prison. You've got these MS-13

00:15:57.260 gangsters. They've got their heads down. They're all crouched over. They look like

00:16:03.760 insects. They're all tatted up in green. They've got their heads down below their hands.

00:16:08.960 The guards all have black masks on, presumably, because the guards don't want MS-13 to go murder

00:16:14.960 all their families. They're just standing in their boxer shorts. The reason, by the way,

00:16:18.780 that they're shirtless, I think, is to show that they're all just tatted up in all this green,

00:16:22.920 sometimes occult imagery.

00:16:28.020 If demons were incarnate, it would be these guys. And yet, when they're outside the clink,

00:16:32.640 they look so tough, right, that people are encouraged to join these types of gangs because

00:16:37.480 they think it'll get them money and women and status. And yet, what the president has done here

00:16:43.680 is cram them all into this extremely high security prison, round them up like animals. I think he

00:16:50.780 rounded up something like 65,000 of these criminals, threw them all in prison. And then he didn't just

00:16:58.020 stop there. He created a very slick, highly produced propaganda video humiliating them. And then he put

00:17:06.580 that out there for all the world to see. We need to learn from El Salvador. Never thought I would

00:17:13.200 say that sentence. But we in the United States need to follow the lead of the government of El

00:17:18.180 Salvador. We need to be clear that if you commit crimes, you will be punished for it. There's really

00:17:24.780 basic stuff that we all used to know. One of the arguments against capital punishment is that it

00:17:29.780 doesn't actually deter crime. And the studies that suggest it doesn't actually deter crime are a

00:17:36.220 little bit suspect. But let's take them at face value. Let's say it's true that capital punishment

00:17:41.260 today does not really deter crime. What would the surprise be there? We don't really carry out

00:17:47.260 capital punishment. The way it's carried out is completely haphazard. Most of the time, some lib

00:17:52.100 governor will just let everybody off the hook. Or some court will pretend like capital punishment is cruel 1.00

00:17:57.800 and unusual punishment. It's neither. And so even if there is a conviction for capital punishment,

00:18:04.480 it's not going to deter crime because people don't believe that they're actually going to carry it out.

00:18:08.800 If you had a country right now where the president attended a capital punishment, let's say there were

00:18:16.260 capital punishment at the federal level, a federal inmate is going to be executed. And the president not

00:18:21.340 only didn't grant clemency, but showed up as the face of justice in America, that would do a lot to

00:18:28.800 deter crime. And what the libs and the squishes would say is they would say, this is cruel. This is

00:18:36.220 inhumane. This is authoritarian. It's authoritarian. That's what they are saying. In fact, the New Yorker

00:18:42.740 says, the rise of Naive Bukili's El Salvador's authoritarian president. Oh, it's a repressive

00:18:52.660 crackdown. Listen to what they say. They say, the budding strong man has ridden Bitcoin schemes

00:18:57.920 and a repressive crackdown on gangs to become Latin America's most popular leader.

00:19:05.400 Can you be repressive against gangs? I guess so. I guess you can repress the gangs. But that seems

00:19:16.080 like that is actually liberative of the people. It's not repressive on the people. When you go after

00:19:23.100 these criminals, when you go after these gangsters, it represses that group and it frees the other

00:19:30.840 group. That's why he's Latin America's most popular leader. It's authoritarian. He's wielding

00:19:38.060 authority to do good, to get the bad guys and to help the good guys. We should be doing that too.

00:19:44.920 I mentioned on the show a week or two ago, I said there are two words. You got to write them down.

00:19:49.720 If you're driving, wait until you pull over. I don't want you to get in a car accident.

00:19:53.140 The two phrases you've got to write down are big government and authoritarian.

00:19:57.700 Those are words that today don't mean anything. Authoritarian is just a word that the liberals use

00:20:04.640 when conservatives wield political power ever. We should be doing that. We should do that a lot

00:20:09.660 more. We should take some real lessons from Naib Bukili. I'm sure I'm mispronouncing his name.

00:20:15.720 What he is showing us is that the law is a teacher. We've known this all the way back to the ancient

00:20:21.940 Greeks. The law is a teacher. We on the American right, we like to say politics is downstream of

00:20:28.500 culture. That is true to a certain extent. The movies affect the government in the way that law

00:20:34.460 is made. No question about it. I think Daily Wire has actually shown that pretty clearly in the battle

00:20:38.980 over transgenderism, among other battles. But the law also affects politics, and the law is also a

00:20:44.540 teacher. And when the law sends an army to your door and rounds up your gang like the animals that

00:20:52.820 they are, you're going to get fewer gangsters, and they're going to commit fewer crimes. And that's

00:20:58.420 going to change the culture, and that's a good thing. Speaking of the law as a teacher, great new law

00:21:03.460 in Kansas. Kansas has become the first state to pass a bill that defines woman as someone who is

00:21:11.640 biologically born female. That's it. That's what a woman is, which means that this will ban 1.00

00:21:19.960 men who identify as transgender women from using single sex areas designated for women. It's called

00:21:27.720 the Women's Bill of Rights. It was approved by legislators 26 to 10 on Thursday. Only Republicans

00:21:33.360 support there. And the bill defines a female as someone, quote, whose biological reproductive system

00:21:39.380 is developed to produce ova, while male refers to anyone whose reproductive system, quote, is developed

00:21:45.420 to fertilize the ova of a female. This is a beautiful bill because it doesn't just say don't trans the

00:21:54.860 kids. It doesn't just say wait till eight to introduce kids to transgenderism in schools. Once

00:22:00.960 they turn nine, that's fine. It doesn't just say only minors can't. It bans transgenderism for all 1.00

00:22:07.780 practical purposes in the state for everybody. And it has to. In order for women to have the right to 1.00

00:22:14.840 have their own bathrooms, you have to ban transgenderism entirely. You can't just ban it 1.00

00:22:20.920 for the kids. It's got to be entirely. In order for women to be able to have their own locker rooms at 1.00

00:22:24.860 the gym, you have to ban transgenderism entirely in order to protect businesses from having to participate 1.00

00:22:32.100 in weird occult sexual rituals like the transgender transition. You have to ban transgenderism entirely. 1.00

00:22:42.800 I love this bill because it is so much more aggressive than the other bills we've seen.

00:22:49.700 I don't mean to knock the other governors and the other state houses. They've done a great job

00:22:52.620 laying the groundwork. But this bill goes much further. And it reminds us of a truth in politics

00:22:59.740 that Republicans all too often forget. You're either on offense or you're on defense.

00:23:07.060 You're either making gains in the culture or you're losing ground in the culture. There's

00:23:11.880 no standing still. There's no status quo. There's no neutrality. And what the conservatives have screwed

00:23:16.620 up on for at least 50 years now, probably more, is the libs make some crazy aggressive play.

00:23:22.300 And then we try to dial it back by about 5 to 10 percent. Or worse, we try to slow it down

00:23:28.880 by about 5 to 10 percent. So the libs attack the family through feminism, the fundamental political 1.00

00:23:37.100 institution. They claim that men and women are basically the same. That takes the culture pretty

00:23:43.480 far to the left. And then conservatives try to inch it back a little bit. But by the time they're even

00:23:49.220 thinking about inching it back, the libs push forward with the normalization of other sexual 0.99

00:23:53.240 practices, gay rights, among other things. And then, oh, by the time the conservatives are trying

00:23:57.860 to dial that back, the libs, they've lurched much further to the left. They're trying to redefine

00:24:01.780 marriage now. They say, redefine marriage? Well, I don't know. I guess we could come to some kind of

00:24:05.360 terms with a civil union. And by the time you say that, whoop, they've lurched even further to the

00:24:09.320 left. Now they're saying, actually, we've got transgenderism. Actually, now a man can become a woman.

00:24:14.060 A man can become a woman. Okay, but maybe we shouldn't do it tomorrow. By the time we say that, whoop, 0.98

00:24:18.840 oh my gosh, we're now, we're all the way off the screen. Because now they're trying to trans the 1.00

00:24:22.720 kids. And there are many conservatives now who are saying, look, if you want, if you're a man

00:24:26.640 and you want to put on a dress, that's fine. But just don't do it to children. Just don't make me

00:24:29.660 pay for it. No. The only way, even to stop there, even if all you want to do is stop where we are

00:24:36.940 right now, the only way to do that is to push so aggressively in the other direction that you're

00:24:41.360 trying to take back ground that we seeded years ago, decades ago. Kansas absolutely leading the

00:26:14.560 so. It's, I think, the broad theme of today's show. Punishment. I'm the punisher. Michael,

00:26:20.760 the punisher Knowles over here looking to Ron DeSantis and the president of El Salvador and the

00:26:26.500 statehouse in Kansas to lead the way forward for the nation. Looking also to Chloe Cole. Chloe Cole

00:26:32.280 is a detransitioned 18-year-old woman. She has just announced the first official lawsuit in the

00:26:39.620 United States against the hospital and affiliated medical group that facilitated her medical transition 0.99

00:26:44.840 as a minor. Absolutely great news. We saw a story similar to this about a couple of weeks ago in

00:26:50.820 Canada. The first transgender detransition person sued her doctors in Canada for transitioning her.

00:26:59.240 I thought it was great at the time. I said, we need this in the United States. Now we're seeing it.

00:27:02.280 The Center for American Liberty, along with the Dillon Law Group, you know, our friend Harmeet Dillon

00:27:07.500 and LaMandri and Jonah LLP have filed lawsuit against the Permanente Medical Group,

00:27:14.540 the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, and Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, alleging medical negligence.

00:27:21.700 That's the charge here. A confused kid goes up, says, hey, I know I'm a girl, but I say that I'm a boy

00:27:28.120 now. And therefore, I want you to pump me full of chemicals and mutilate me. 0.93

00:27:33.340 Doctors, if they are following the Hippocratic Oath and acting in a way that is medically

00:27:37.640 responsible, will say, oh, no, you're not. No, you're not. Let's get you some psychological help.

00:27:43.600 Doctors who are negligent and perverse and incompetent or worse, 0.89

00:27:47.720 they will say, oh, yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah, you're a man. And coincidentally, 0.96

00:27:53.320 we're going to recommend surgeries and drugs that are very, very expensive and that you're

00:27:57.840 going to be hooked on for the rest of your life. Okay, get her over to the operating table. 1.00

00:28:02.220 That's medical negligence. I know that some conservatives are going to say,

00:28:05.760 well, it's the individual's fault for demanding this perverse treatment. Or in the case of minors,

00:28:11.540 well, it's the parents' fault for taking the children to these hospitals. Though, increasingly,

00:28:17.360 the parents don't have much say over it. The state is coming in and enforcing these kinds of

00:28:21.420 procedures. But it's the doctor's fault, too. The doctors should not be performing these surgeries,

00:28:27.040 and they should be held to account. They should lose their licenses, and they should lose a lot of

00:28:30.200 money. As Harmeet put it, Chloe's family sought medical treatment for her. At Kaiser, her physicians

00:28:36.140 and other medical professionals violated the first norm of the profession, the Hippocratic Oath,

00:28:40.980 when instead of caring for her and providing medically competent diagnoses and treatment,

00:28:44.960 they permanently disfigured her for profit, for a pretty high profit. Because talk therapy with a 0.98

00:28:52.560 psychologist, it's not cheap, but it's not that expensive. Or telling a young person to maybe go 0.97

00:29:00.640 talk to a priest, maybe try to sort things out spiritually. These are probably spiritual problems

00:29:08.000 as well as psychological problems. They don't make any money on that. But sending someone to get some

00:29:14.960 of the most expensive treatments on earth for the rest of their lives, that does make a profit. I think

00:29:18.300 it's a great angle to focus on. And I think every other detransitioner who has experienced even the 0.76

00:29:22.980 slightest pang of regret should sue these people into the dirt. Speaking of holding bad actors to

00:29:30.120 account, Joe Biden is facing a lot of criticism because the president refuses to go to East

00:29:38.040 Palestine, Ohio. He was finally asked about this on ABC News. And the president said, not only is he not

00:29:46.800 going to go to East Palestine, he doesn't even really remember who he's talked to over there.

00:29:50.040 It's been three weeks now since the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, as you know,

00:29:57.260 the mayor says he saw you in Ukraine. And he says, it tells you he doesn't care about us.

00:30:03.180 They're asking, is the president coming to Ohio? Do you have any plan to travel to Ohio? And have you

00:30:09.960 talked with the mayor yet? Let's put this in perspective. Within two hours of that derailment,

00:30:16.420 the EPA was in there within two hours. Every major agency in the United States government that had

00:30:23.100 anything to do with rail and or cleanup was there and is there. So do you plan to travel there and

00:30:28.940 have you talked with the mayor? I can't recall. I don't think I've talked to the mayor. I've talked

00:30:33.260 to everyone else there and multiple times. I've talked to both the senators, both governors. I've

00:30:38.800 talked to everyone there is to talk to. And we've made it clear that everything is available.

00:30:43.960 Yeah, but are you going to go? Why won't you answer that question?

00:30:50.040 Credit to David Muir here. He's, he asks, are you going to go to East Palestine? But it says,

00:30:53.980 well, now listen here. Come on now, Jack. Come on. You're going to go get some mint chocolate chip,

00:30:58.060 take a swim down by the pool. 23 skidoo, Jack. He says, okay. But are you going to go to East

00:31:03.700 Palestine? Listen here, fat. I was talking to senators and I said, I said back when I was in the swim 0.98

00:31:12.800 pool. Mr. President, hello, Mr. President, you're going to answer. You're not going to answer because

00:31:20.160 the answer is no. He is not going to go to East Palestine as of today. And do you know why he can't

00:31:27.080 go? It's not just that he's lazy. It's not just that he doesn't like the people in Ohio. It's not

00:31:32.020 just that he thinks they're deplorable, irredeemable flyover people. He can't go

00:31:36.520 because Trump went. He can't go because if he goes, he's going to look so weak. He's going to

00:31:44.780 look like Trump bullied him into going. He can't go because he knows the people in East Palestine

00:31:50.680 like Trump. They don't like Biden. The people in East Palestine are Republicans by and large,

00:31:56.560 not Democrats. And even beyond partisanship, the people of East Palestine rightly observe that the

00:32:03.860 current president, Joe Biden, doesn't give a damn about them. And Trump actually does seem to care.

00:32:10.240 You can see it. It was the first moment of Trump's campaign where I thought, man,

00:32:14.240 he might be getting his mojo back. This is what I want to see from Trump. I am one of the most

00:32:21.040 sympathetic people in the media to President Trump's claims about the shenanigans in the 2020 election.

00:32:27.640 It's pretty clear that the Democrats rigged that election as far as I'm concerned. It's pretty clear

00:32:31.340 that they even violated state laws in some cases in the way that they conducted their elections.

00:32:35.660 So I'm as sympathetic as it gets to those claims. But nobody wants to hear it. It's 2023. That's if

00:32:42.900 Trump just campaigns on how the election was stolen from him, no one's going to care, even if it's true.

00:32:48.720 But if Trump campaigns on going to East Palestine, eating McDonald's with people,

00:32:53.300 making fun of Joe Biden, forcing Joe Biden to at least address the issue, saying, where are you,

00:32:59.680 Joe? Why won't you come down? That's the guy. That's the guy that you're going to want to vote

00:33:03.980 for. Another example. I know people always doubt Trump's political strategy. I've thought that

00:33:09.800 Trump is a pretty good political strategist. My evidence for this is the man won the highest

00:33:14.180 office in the land the first time he ever officially ran for it. He kind of teased a

00:33:19.460 campaign in 2000, but the first time he really ran, he didn't win mayor, he didn't win congressman,

00:33:25.220 he didn't win senator. He won the highest office in the land. The guy probably knows a thing or

00:33:28.280 two about politics. And the strategy here was really, really smart. Or at least even if it

00:33:33.740 wasn't conscious, the effect of it is really, really smart. Right now, Biden is in a lose-lose.

00:33:38.940 He's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. If he goes to East Palestine, he looks like a jerk. 1.00

00:33:43.060 If he doesn't go to East Palestine, he looks like a jerk. And the reason for that is he is a jerk. 1.00

00:33:47.020 So it's a good strategy because it shows us the truth. Now, what is the federal government doing 1.00

00:33:52.180 with regard to East Palestine? The federal government finally has ordered a halt to the

00:33:59.600 cleanup because you know how this administration works. The administration allows problems to

00:34:06.260 fester, not just on transportation, but on crime, on immigration, on international affairs,

00:34:15.300 on everything. They just allow problems to fester and they get really, really bad.

00:34:18.980 And then you get some catastrophic event like you saw with the train derailment in Ohio.

00:34:23.420 And then even if you don't want to blame the administration and say it's entirely their fault

00:34:27.220 for how the train derailed, okay, that's fine. It's not entirely their fault. But then what happens?

00:34:33.920 The cleanup starts to create even more problems. There were questions raised about why did Norfolk

00:34:40.780 Southern have to burn off all of those toxic chemicals and send a mushroom clad of poison into the air? 0.99

00:34:46.420 Well, they said, because one of the cars might have exploded.

00:34:50.520 There was a problem with one of the cars. Okay, well, why did you burn off the chemicals in five

00:34:55.580 cars? Well, you know, there was a problem in a second car. Okay, but there weren't problems in

00:35:00.020 all of these cars. And so in some cases, couldn't you have contained the chemicals? Did you have to

00:35:03.800 burn all of them off? Polluting the air, giving the residents of East Palestine all sorts of terrible 1.00

00:35:08.440 rashes and coughs and ailments, apparently compromising the drinking water. It remains unclear how

00:35:15.500 compromised that drinking water is. But a lot of the water intake facilities nearby are turning off

00:35:20.180 East Palestine. They say, no, we don't want any water that's anywhere near East Palestine.

00:35:24.820 They don't trust the water there. And now what about all the poison dirt? What about all of the debris

00:35:31.520 from this derailment? Where is it going? Well, apparently it's been going all over the place.

00:35:36.640 Officials in Texas and Michigan have said that they are now receiving the debris from the derailment,

00:35:45.640 and they're getting tainted soil, and they're getting tainted water. Millions of gallons of

00:35:50.260 water used to douse fires at that site have been brought into their states without full disclosure.

00:35:55.980 So they wake up one day in Texas and Michigan. They say, wait, why are you sending your poison over

00:36:00.420 here, federal government? How is it that you can take a bad situation and just make it worse by the day?

00:36:07.200 And have no accountability for it at all. Ohio officials say that 20 truckloads of contaminated

00:36:13.160 soil have been hauled away from the site. Some 15 truckloads were taken to a licensed hazardous

00:36:18.140 waste facility in Belleville, Michigan. Five were then sent back to East Palestine. What is this all 0.90

00:36:24.320 about? Why is this so incompetent? And why was it all burned off? I don't want to sound like a crazy 0.99

00:36:29.160 conspiracy theorist, but given how conspiracy theories have been basically, almost all of

00:36:36.360 them vindicated in the last three years, I guess we have to entertain them. I told you I'm not a

00:36:40.320 conspiracy theorist. I am a coincidence noticer. I have to ask, is maybe one of the potential explanations

00:36:48.680 for the massive burn off of chemicals that many experts have said was imprudent and unnecessary,

00:36:55.080 is maybe one of the explanations for Norfolk Southern just secretly hauling off without full

00:37:01.060 disclosure the waste to these other places? Are they maybe covering something up? Is there

00:37:07.300 something here that we haven't quite seen? So I'm glad to see the EPA finally has come down and said,

00:37:11.320 hey, we're going to halt this. We're going to halt this cleanup until we can figure out what the hell

00:37:15.580 is going on. Wish that they would have figured that one out three weeks ago. It just seems like this

00:38:19.160 Speaking of Joe Biden covering things up, Joe Biden's got another scandal on his hands, which is that

00:38:26.060 shortly after haranguing Donald Trump for allegedly holding classified documents improperly at his home,

00:38:35.440 Joe Biden was discovered to be improperly holding classified documents at his home, at one of his

00:38:42.260 offices, documents dating back not just to his presidency, when he would have had the authority

00:38:47.780 to declassify the documents, but to his vice presidency, potentially to his Senate days.

00:38:52.760 Guys got classified documents everywhere, apparently left some of them in a box next to his Corvette that

00:38:57.040 his degenerate son was driving. Oh, that's good. Hunter Biden, who makes pretty much all of his money

00:39:02.900 on corruption and specifically corruption, selling his father's influence to foreign actors in Ukraine

00:39:08.960 and in China when Joe Biden was vice president. Yeah, that guy just was just tooling around in

00:39:14.920 the vet right next to all those classified documents. So Joe Biden was just asked about

00:39:19.160 this also by David Muir on ABC News. He was asked, what's the difference between what Trump did

00:39:25.700 and what you did? Here's the answer. But I do remember something you said after the discovery

00:39:30.860 at Mar-a-Lago. You said, I thought data that was in there may compromise sources and methods

00:39:36.120 and names of people who help, and it's just totally irresponsible. Can you assure the American people

00:39:43.480 that none of the documents discovered in your garage or at your old office compromised sources

00:39:48.600 or methods or U.S. intelligence? I've been advised by the council, let the Justice Department

00:39:55.060 make that decision. They also saw you, though, comment on former President Trump. And so at the very

00:40:00.380 least. Because look, here's what they were showing. You guys were showing on television

00:40:04.700 things lying on the ground and said top secret, national, you know, code word. And the difference

00:40:11.780 is every single solitary thing I've been asked to do, I've done voluntarily. You're trying to make

00:40:16.580 a comparison. What, there's degrees of irresponsibility that are, they can be significant degrees of

00:40:25.100 responsibility. So his defense is, look, there's different degrees of responsibility. And that's

00:40:31.000 true. But the different degrees all favor Trump. Trump had the right to declassify any documents he

00:40:37.920 wanted. He didn't have to follow any particular procedure to do it. He could have done it in his

00:40:41.660 head. The president of the United States is not responsible to any bureaucrat when it comes to

00:40:47.320 declassifying documents. Joe Biden, when he took those documents, did not have any such right.

00:40:53.320 So the different degrees of responsibility here is Joe Biden had a far greater responsibility to

00:40:58.280 handle these documents with care. And he violated that responsibility in a far more egregious way.

00:41:04.580 And he knows it. That's why even Joe Biden, who doesn't remember what end is up, was impelled to

00:41:11.240 answer at the top of that question. He said, I've been advised by the council not to say anything

00:41:16.100 because obviously they've got me dead to rights. I doubt anything is going to happen as a result of it.

00:41:20.560 I doubt he's going to be held to account. I'm sure we're going to see more of this corruption

00:41:26.160 from the Democrats because when you don't punish bad behavior, then you're going to get more of it.

00:41:30.660 But he's at least admitting, at least implicitly, that what he did was a lot worse.

00:41:38.140 Speaking of leaders, there is a kid. He went a little bit viral over the weekend. I want to make

00:41:43.860 him go much more viral. I am so impressed with this kid. He was a freshman at a liberal high school.

00:41:52.260 And I'm sure that his school is a lot like your school. I'm sure that his school is a lot like

00:41:58.720 schools all around the country, liberal, racist, sexist, and in all the opposite ways that we're

00:42:07.940 told that the public institutions are. And he said enough. And he showed up to his school board and he

00:42:15.800 gave an oratory worthy of at least getting him elected to Congress, if not president, already at

00:42:22.000 the age of 14. Take a listen. Hi, my name is Brad Taylor, and I just finished my freshman year at

00:42:27.600 RHS. I've been a part of District 196 schools now for 10 years, and I'm going to give you a glimpse

00:42:33.120 today of what's actually going on inside these schools. Despite the board's attempt to deny it,

00:42:38.160 District 196 schools are quickly becoming a place where promoting activism is actually more important

00:42:43.000 than promoting education. I'll take you back to my first day at RHS this fall. The principal came out

00:42:50.840 and gave us a heartfelt speech about equality and standing together. He began to list countless

00:42:56.620 races, such as Latino, Asian, expressing how much they matter and how important they are.

00:43:02.120 But never once did he mention a race or identity that reflects me, or half the kids that were in

00:43:06.380 the class. My honors government teacher, I'm not going to say his name, but he's mentioned that

00:43:11.260 Democrats care more about all people, while Republicans only care about themselves. And he's also

00:43:16.740 inferred to us that socialism is better than democracy. He even had a statue of a socialist

00:43:21.940 leader in his classroom. I've been approached by multiple teachers who have told me in private that

00:43:26.320 they just want to say that they agree with me and they support me standing up, but they can't say it

00:43:29.580 in front of the class for fear of being disciplined by the administration in some way or losing their

00:43:34.200 jobs. Now, due to all these instances I've mentioned and many more that I can't fit in this five-minute

00:43:39.060 speech, I have decided to leave this district and continue school on a private Christian school

00:43:44.200 online. But I will never stop believing that everybody has value, no matter their skin color

00:43:48.800 or personal beliefs. And it's a shame that you're not going to be able to say that I was an alumni of

00:43:52.300 RHS in District 196. Thank you.

00:43:56.120 Preach! Preach, man! What can this kid run for? What is he, 15? He just finished his freshman year

00:44:02.260 in high school? I guess it's a little too young for Congress, but let me know when you're ready to

00:44:07.700 run, kid. I can't wait to donate. I can't wait to go vote. Beautiful. That kid showing more

00:44:14.060 clarity and maturity and courage than not only any other student at the school, any teacher at the

00:44:22.860 school. He's saying, the teachers come up to me, they say, you're right, I agree with you, but I

00:44:26.860 don't want to lose my job. How sad is that? He'll say, hey, you, 15-year-old, thanks for doing what I,

00:44:33.300 a grown adult, am unwilling to do. Love it. And it presents a political opportunity for Republicans.

00:44:40.040 We have control of a lot of states around the country right now. This is a great opportunity

00:44:45.240 to push school choice. And why should we push school choice? Because the Democrats rely on

00:44:52.860 the schools as a major power center. School choice is the easiest way to weaken their grip on that

00:44:59.720 power. And it's a very powerful power center because classrooms are crystal balls that show you

00:45:04.320 what your country is going to look like in 20 years. Shapes the very malleable minds of little 0.98

00:45:08.840 kids. School choice is the biggest threat to that. I've been mentioning it in my new state of Tennessee,

00:45:15.400 which I love so much. This would be a great opportunity. The governor campaigned on school

00:45:19.460 choice. He's obviously very supportive of it. We've got, I don't know, like three Democrats in

00:45:24.060 the whole legislature. The Republicans outnumbered the Democrats three to one, four to one in the House

00:45:28.660 and the Senate. Let's get it done, guys. This is a great opportunity. You have to be on the

00:45:33.620 offense or you will be on the defense. It's like a business. Anyone who's ever run a business or

00:45:38.940 worked for a business, for that matter, will know that a business is either growing or dying.

00:45:45.460 Businesses don't just stay the same, though. It doesn't work that way. You've got to be growing

00:45:50.600 or dying. You've got to be moving forward or you're going to be pushed backward. So let's do it.

00:45:56.060 While we've got power, let's just put that pedal to the metal and let's give more kids the opportunity 0.99

00:46:01.520 that this young man has to go pursue more edifying educational opportunities and perhaps even more

00:46:09.200 important, weaken the stranglehold of these crazy libs that they have on public education so that we 1.00

00:46:16.500 can create better schools in the future so that we can go back, get a little more power in public

00:46:22.060 education and turn it toward the good, the true and the beautiful, not the ugly, the false and the

00:46:27.940 wicked as it is now. Speaking of young people, really disturbing story from Paris Hilton.

00:46:36.000 I haven't thought about Paris Hilton in a long time. Paris Hilton, I guess she was sort of eclipsed

00:46:41.660 by Kim Kardashian and Kim Kardashian continues to have a bad effect on her and on the culture because

00:46:46.540 Kim Kardashian apparently encouraged Paris Hilton to engage in IVF. And IVF is a controversial issue

00:46:53.260 even among pro-lifers because many people who oppose abortion, who are pro-life, they will still be in

00:47:00.040 favor of IVF. And one of the reasons for this is that there are many people out there who would not

00:47:05.040 have their children without IVF. And so they say, well, if this process gave me my child, whom I love

00:47:11.380 so, then it has to be a good process. And no one is doubting that your child is great and that you

00:47:18.100 having a child is a great thing. But good ends do not justify immoral means. We're not Machiavellians

00:47:25.460 here. We're not utilitarians here. We're not consequentialists here. We're conservatives. We

00:47:30.000 believe that the morality of actions depends upon the action itself. And in this case, the way that

00:47:38.540 Paris Hilton has done it really shows you how morally problematic IVF is because Paris Hilton now has 20

00:47:45.880 children. I don't think she has any children that have been born, but she has 20 frozen embryos.

00:47:52.400 Why does she have 20? Why has she so irresponsibly created 20 unique human beings and then just shoved 1.00

00:47:57.840 them all in a freezer? Well, because she keeps getting boys and she doesn't want boys. She wants 1.00

00:48:03.300 girls. So she's just going to keep trying IVF. She's got unlimited money. So she's just going to engage 1.00

00:48:09.340 in IVF until she gets a girl. And the doctors, I think, are more than happy to do it. It's a very

00:48:14.920 expensive process. Doctors are more than happy to trans the kids. It's a very expensive process. 1.00

00:48:20.600 The doctors are more than happy to engage in IVF. It'll make them a lot of money.

00:48:24.960 So who knows that maybe Paris will get 25 of her sons frozen forever or 30 or 35 until she gets a 0.97

00:48:31.980 girl. She says she's waiting for that girl. Now, obviously, if it were reversed and you saw someone

00:48:37.320 say, yeah, I'm putting all the girls in a freezer until I get a boy. I really want a boy. You'd have the 1.00

00:48:40.960 feminists screaming and crying and say, this is sexist and terrible and eugenics. But because it's 1.00

00:48:46.520 a boy and boys are castigated by the culture, they don't want to say that. Because boys are toxic. 0.82

00:48:53.680 Masculinity is evil and toxic. We have to get rid of it. That is really evil stuff. 0.99

00:48:58.900 And why is she doing IVF in the first place? She says, I'm just so scared.

00:49:02.960 I think, again, leading back to Provo of being in a doctor's office, all of that, the shots,

00:49:07.560 the IVs that they put in. She says she was traumatized when she was in a room when a woman 0.81

00:49:13.680 was giving birth when she was doing her reality TV show, The Simple Life. So it's not even that

00:49:18.660 she's saying she doesn't want to give birth or try the natural way because of some medical condition 0.92

00:49:24.100 or because of some personal trauma. It's just because it seems kind of icky to her. She doesn't

00:49:28.280 want to have to do it. So she's going to have it done in test tubes, and then she'll rent out the womb 1.00

00:49:31.860 of some poor woman and inject it into her. And then maybe then that woman will give birth to her 1.00

00:49:37.780 child. But maybe she won't at all. She just keeps getting boys. She'll probably just leave them in 1.00

00:49:42.100 the freezer forever. Can anyone explain to me why this should not be illegal? Can anyone see? I know

00:49:49.720 that many people are tempted to support IVF, especially if it's benefited you personally or

00:49:55.040 a family member. Does anybody seriously believe that this is okay? That this is morally right?

00:50:02.500 That this is morally acceptable at all? Putting souls on ice, real human beings, and for your own

00:50:08.140 children because you don't like boys? Imagine if one of these boys is born and finds out, wait,

00:50:12.460 my mom put me in a freezer and created 20 of my siblings because she doesn't like boys that much?

00:50:18.180 What's that going to do to people's minds? I heard a story the other day of a transgender

00:50:23.740 identifying person, man who wanted to be a woman. And then he detransitioned. He no longer suffers

00:50:30.920 from this delusion. But it turned out one of the reasons for this delusion was that his father that

00:50:37.200 he grew up with favored his sister, not him. And so in his mind, it was implanted that if he wanted

00:50:43.100 his father's love, he would have to be a girl. Really basic kind of psychological complexes. 0.64

00:50:49.760 Could you imagine that? You're one of Paris Hilton's sons. You see this. You read about this.

00:50:53.740 Tell me that this should not be illegal. Tell me that it would be authoritarian or terrible or

00:51:00.280 too much a use of big government to say, hey, you're not allowed to make a bunch of kids and

00:51:04.060 then throw them in a freezer forever. No one, I don't think anyone can really do that. It's

00:51:07.580 Music Monday, baby. We got to get on over to the member block. Ben Davies has given me a song that

00:51:12.580 he wants me to throw all of my pop culture prowess onto. And I'm willing to do that. We will see you

00:51:17.800 there. If you're not a member, why not? Are you just one of those hoi polloi out there perusing this 0.97
