The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1191 - Woody Harrelson Mocks The COVID Libs On SNL

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

00:13:38.260 have a will. Seems kind of strange, doesn't it? It's a little like being afraid your house will burn down,

00:13:43.840 but not having homeowner's insurance. Or being afraid of drowning, but refusing to wear a life

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

00:14:00.160 about. I cannot stress enough how important it is to write a will. And Epic Will is here to get you

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.

00:15:34.740 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. Do we have the clip?

00:15:55.720 You've got these MS-13 gangsters. They've got their heads down. They're all crouched over. They

00:16:06.680 look like insects. So they're all tatted up in green. They've got their heads down below their

00:16:11.960 hands. The guards all have black masks on, presumably because the guards don't want MS-13

00:16:17.360 to go murder all their families. They're just standing in their boxer shorts. The reason,

00:16:21.900 by the way, that they're shirtless, I think, is to show that they're all just tatted up in all this

00:16:25.020 green, sometimes occult imagery. If demons were incarnate, it would be these guys. And yet,

00:16:34.580 when they're outside the clink, they look so tough, right? That people are encouraged to join these

00:16:39.480 types of gangs because they think it'll get them money and women and status. And yet,

00:16:45.340 what the president has done here is cram them all into this extremely high security prison, 0.74

00:16:51.060 round them up like animals. I think he rounded up something like 65,000 of these criminals,

00:16:58.480 threw them all in prison. And then he didn't just stop there. He created a very slick,

00:17:04.180 highly produced propaganda video humiliating them. And then he put that out there for all the world to

00:17:11.520 see. We need to learn from El Salvador. Never thought I would say that sentence. But we in the United

00:17:18.160 States need to follow the lead of the government of El Salvador. We need to be clear that if you

00:17:25.880 commit crimes, you will be punished for it. There's really basic stuff that we all used to know.

00:17:30.040 One of the arguments against capital punishment is that it doesn't actually deter crime. And the

00:17:37.060 studies that suggest it doesn't actually deter crime are a little bit suspect. But let's take them

00:17:41.580 at face value. Let's say it's true that capital punishment today does not really deter crime.

00:17:47.540 What would the surprise be there? We don't really carry out capital punishment. The way it's carried

00:17:52.280 out is completely haphazard. Most of the time, some lib governor will just let everybody off the hook.

00:17:57.880 Or some court will pretend like capital punishment is cruel and unusual punishment. It's neither.

00:18:04.120 And so even if there is a conviction for capital punishment, it's not going to deter crime because

00:18:09.180 people don't believe that they're actually going to carry it out. If you had a country right now

00:18:14.000 where the president attended a capital punishment, let's say there were capital punishment at the

00:18:20.560 federal level, a federal inmate is going to be executed. And the president not only didn't grant

00:18:25.460 clemency, but showed up as the face of justice in America, that would do a lot to deter crime.

00:18:32.900 And what the libs and the squishes would say is they would say, this is,

00:18:37.220 this is cruel. This is inhumane. This is authoritarian. It's authoritarian. That's what

00:18:44.300 they are saying. In fact, the New Yorker says the rise of naive Bukili's El Salvador's authoritarian

00:18:52.680 president. Oh, he's so, it's a repressive crackdown. Listen to what they say. They say,

00:18:58.860 the budding strongman has ridden Bitcoin schemes and a repressive crackdown on gangs

00:19:05.480 to become Latin America's most popular leader. Can you be repressive against gangs?

00:19:15.440 I guess, I guess so. I guess you can repress the gangs, but that seems like that is actually

00:19:21.400 liberative of the people. It's not repressive on the people. When you, when you go after these

00:19:26.860 criminals, when you go after these gangsters, it represses that group, and it frees the other

00:19:34.300 group. That's why he's Latin America's most popular leader. It's authoritarian. He's wielding

00:19:41.520 authority to do good, to get the bad guys and to help the good guys. We should be doing that too.

00:19:48.420 I mentioned on the show a week or two ago, I said, there are two words. You got to write them down.

00:19:53.180 If you're driving, wait until you pull over. I don't want you to get in a car accident.

00:19:55.940 The two, the two phrases you've got to write down are big government and authoritarian.

00:20:02.300 Those are words that today don't mean anything. Authoritarian is just a word that the liberals use

00:20:08.120 when conservatives wield political power ever. We should be doing that. We should do that a lot

00:20:13.120 more. We should take some real lessons from Naib Bukili. I'm sure I'm mispronouncing his name.

00:20:18.980 What he is showing us is that the law is a teacher. We've known this all the way back to the ancient

00:20:25.420 Greeks. The law is a teacher. We on the American right, we like to say politics is downstream of

00:20:31.980 culture. That is true to a certain extent. The movies affect the government in the way that law

00:20:37.940 is made. No question about it. I think Daily Wire has actually shown that pretty clearly in the battle

00:20:42.440 over transgenderism, among other battles. But the law also affects politics, and the law is also a

00:20:48.020 teacher. And when the law sends an army to your door and rounds up your gang like the animals that

00:20:56.280 they are, you're going to get fewer gangsters, and they're going to commit fewer crimes. And that's

00:21:01.880 going to change the culture, and that's a good thing. Speaking of the law as a teacher, great new

00:21:06.680 law in Kansas. Kansas has become the first state to pass a bill that defines woman as someone who is

00:21:15.120 biologically born female. That's it. That's what a woman is, which means that this will ban 1.00

00:21:23.440 men who identify as transgender women from using single sex areas designated for women. It's called

00:21:31.200 the Women's Bill of Rights. It was approved by legislators 26 to 10 on Thursday. Only Republicans

00:21:36.820 support there. And the bill defines a female as someone, quote, whose biological reproductive system

00:21:42.840 is developed to produce ova, while male refers to anyone whose reproductive system, quote, is developed

00:21:48.900 to fertilize the ova of a female. This is a beautiful bill because it doesn't just say don't trans the

00:21:58.320 kids. It doesn't just say wait till eight to introduce kids to transgenderism in schools. Once

00:22:04.420 they turn nine, that's fine. It doesn't just say only minors can't. It bans transgenderism for all 1.00

00:22:11.260 practical purposes in the state, for everybody. And it has to. In order for women to have the right 1.00

00:22:18.180 to have their own bathrooms, you have to ban transgenderism entirely. You can't just ban it 1.00

00:22:24.400 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

00:22:28.320 the gym, you have to ban transgenderism entirely in order to protect businesses from having to participate 1.00

00:22:35.560 in weird, occult sexual rituals like the transgender transition. You have to ban transgenderism entirely. 1.00

00:22:46.280 I love this bill because it is so much more aggressive than the other bills we've seen.

00:22:53.180 I don't mean to knock the other governors and the other state houses. They've done a great job

00:22:56.080 laying the groundwork, but this bill goes much further. And it reminds us of a truth in politics

00:23:03.220 that Republicans all too often forget. You're either on offense or you're on defense.

00:23:10.540 You're either making gains in the culture or you're losing ground in the culture. There's

00:23:15.340 no standing still. There's no status quo. There's no neutrality. And what the conservatives have screwed

00:23:20.080 up on for at least 50 years now, probably more, is the libs make some crazy aggressive play,

00:23:25.780 and then we try to dial it back by about 5% to 10%. Or worse, we try to slow it down

00:23:32.340 by about 5% to 10%. So the libs attack the family through feminism, the fundamental political 1.00

00:23:40.580 institution. They claim that men and women are basically the same. That takes the culture pretty

00:23:46.940 far to the left. And then conservatives try to inch it back a little bit, but by the time they're even

00:23:52.680 thinking about inching it back, the libs push forward with the normalization of other sexual 0.99

00:23:56.720 practices, gay rights, among other things. And then, oh, by the time the conservatives are trying

00:24:01.320 to dial that back, the libs, they've lurched much further to the left. They're trying to redefine

00:24:05.240 marriage now. They say, redefine marriage? Well, I don't know. I guess we could come to some kind of

00:24:08.840 terms with a civil union. And by the time you say that, whoop, they've lurched even further to the

00:24:12.780 left. Now they're saying, actually, we've got transgenderism. Actually, now a man can become a woman.

00:24:17.520 A man can become a woman. Okay, but maybe we shouldn't do it tomorrow. By the time we say that, 0.93

00:24:22.100 whoop, oh my gosh, we're now, we're all the way off the screen. Because now they're trying to

00:24:25.880 trans the kids. And there are many conservatives now who are saying, look, if you want, if you're

00:24:29.860 a man and you want to put on a dress, that's fine, but just don't do it to children. Just don't make 0.85

00:24:33.020 me pay for it. No. The only way, even to stop there, even if all you want to do is stop where

00:24:40.180 we are right now, the only way to do that is to push so aggressively in the other direction that

00:24:44.700 you're trying to take back ground that we seeded years ago, decades ago. Kansas absolutely leading

00:26:04.360 The only way that we are going to score cultural wins and take back cultural ground 0.52

00:26:11.340 is to punish the people who have upended our culture so. It's, I think, the broad theme of

00:26:20.340 today's show. Punishment. I'm the punisher. Michael the Punisher Knowles over here looking to Ron DeSantis

00:26:27.220 and the president of El Salvador and the state house in Kansas to lead the way forward for the

00:26:32.780 nation. Looking also to Chloe Cole. Chloe Cole is a detransitioned 18-year-old woman. 1.00

00:26:39.800 She has just announced the first official lawsuit in the United States against the hospital and

00:26:45.280 affiliated medical group that facilitated her medical transition as a minor. Absolutely great news.

00:26:50.300 We saw a story similar to this about a couple of weeks ago in Canada. The first transgender

00:26:56.980 detransition person sued her doctors in Canada for transitioning her. I thought it was great at 1.00

00:27:03.400 the time. I said, we need this in the United States. Now we're seeing it. The Center for American

00:27:06.760 Liberty, along with the Dillon Law Group, our friend Harmeet Dillon and LaMandri and Jonah LLP have

00:27:13.760 filed lawsuit against the Permanente Medical Group, the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Kaiser

00:27:20.440 Foundation Hospitals, alleging medical negligence. That's the charge here. A confused kid goes up,

00:27:28.280 says, hey, I know I'm a girl, but I say that I'm a boy now, and therefore I want you to pump me full 0.84

00:27:33.360 of chemicals and mutilate me. Doctors, if they are following the Hippocratic Oath and acting in a way

00:27:40.220 that is medically responsible, will say, oh, no, you're not. No, you're not. Let's get you some

00:27:45.080 psychological help. Doctors who are negligent and perverse and incompetent or worse, they will say, 0.98

00:27:53.160 oh, yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah, you're a man, and coincidentally, we're going to recommend

00:27:58.060 surgeries and drugs that are very, very expensive and that you're going to be hooked on for the rest

00:28:02.240 of your life. Okay, get her over to the operating table. That's medical negligence. I know that some 1.00

00:28:07.960 conservatives are going to say, well, it's the individual's fault for demanding this perverse

00:28:13.100 treatment. Or in the case of minors, well, it's the parent's fault for taking the children to these

00:28:18.760 hospitals. Though increasingly, the parents don't have much say over it. The state is coming in and

00:28:23.360 enforcing these kinds of procedures. But it's the doctor's fault, too. The doctor should not be

00:28:29.140 performing these surgeries, and they should be held to account. They should lose their licenses,

00:28:32.880 and they should lose a lot of money. As Harmeet put it,

00:28:35.720 Chloe's family sought medical treatment for her. At Kaiser, her physicians and other medical

00:28:40.640 professionals violated the first norm of the profession, the Hippocratic Oath, when instead

00:28:45.120 of caring for her and providing medically competent diagnoses and treatment, they permanently disfigured

00:28:50.040 her for a pretty high profit. Because talk therapy with a psychologist, it's not cheap, but it's not

00:28:59.580 that expensive. Or telling a young person to maybe go talk to a priest, you know, maybe try to sort

00:29:07.440 things out spiritually. These are probably spiritual problems as well as psychological problems.

00:29:14.060 They don't make any money on that. But sending someone to get some of the most expensive treatments

00:29:19.380 on earth for the rest of their lives, that does make a profit. And I think it's a great angle to focus

00:29:22.860 on. And I think every other detransitioner who has experienced even the slightest pang of regret

00:29:27.520 should sue these people into the dirt. Speaking of holding bad actors to account,

00:29:34.980 Joe Biden is facing a lot of criticism because the president refuses to go to East Palestine,

00:29:43.240 Ohio. He was finally asked about this on ABC News. And the president said,

00:29:48.300 not only is he not going to go to East Palestine, he doesn't even really remember who he's talked to

00:29:53.120 over there. It's been three weeks now since the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, 0.92

00:29:59.720 Ohio, as you know. The mayor says he saw you in Ukraine. And he says, it tells you he doesn't

00:30:05.360 care about us. And they're asking, is the president coming to Ohio? Do you have any plan to travel to

00:30:12.240 Ohio? And have you talked with the mayor yet? Let's put this in perspective. Within two hours

00:30:18.260 of that derailment, the EPA was in there. Within two hours. Every major agency in the United States

00:30:25.400 government that had anything to do with rail and or cleanup was there and is there.

00:30:31.140 So do you plan to travel there and have you talked with the mayor?

00:30:33.700 I can't recall. I don't think I've talked to the mayor. I've talked to everyone else there and

00:30:37.820 multiple times. I've talked to both the senators, both governors. I've talked to everyone there is

00:30:44.140 to talk to. And we've made it clear that everything is available.

00:30:48.820 Yeah, but are you going to go? Why won't you answer that question?

00:30:53.460 Credit to David Muir here. He asks, are you going to go to East Palestine? But it says, 0.57

00:30:57.460 well, now listen here. Come on now, Jack. Come on. You're going to go get some mint chocolate chip,

00:31:01.540 take a swim down by the pool. 23 skidoo, Jack. He says, okay. But are you going to go to East

00:31:07.160 Palestine? Listen here, fat. I was talking to senators and I said, I said back when I was in 0.98

00:31:16.040 the swim pool back in Scranton. Mr. President? Hello, Mr. President? You're going to answer?

00:31:22.580 You're not going to answer. Because the answer is no. He is not going to go to East Palestine as of

00:31:28.820 today. And do you know why he can't go? It's not just that he's lazy. It's not just that he doesn't

00:31:33.940 like the people in Ohio. It's not just that he thinks they're deplorable, irredeemable flyover

00:31:37.620 people. He can't go because Trump went. He can't go because if he goes, he's going to look so weak.

00:31:47.860 He's going to look like Trump bullied him into going. He can't go because he knows the people

00:31:53.480 in East Palestine like Trump. They don't like Biden. The people in East Palestine are Republicans,

00:31:59.180 by and large, not Democrats. And even beyond partisanship, the people of East Palestine

00:32:05.760 rightly observe that the current president, Joe Biden, doesn't give a damn about them.

00:32:11.140 And Trump actually does seem to care. You can see it. It was the first moment of Trump's campaign

00:32:16.600 where I thought, man, he might be getting his mojo back. This is what I want to see from Trump.

00:32:21.540 I am one of the most sympathetic people in the media to President Trump's claims about the

00:32:29.280 shenanigans in the 2020 election. It's pretty clear that the Democrats rigged that election as

00:32:33.640 far as I'm concerned. It's pretty clear that they even violated state laws in some cases in the way

00:32:37.540 that they conducted their elections. So I'm as sympathetic as it gets to those claims. But

00:32:41.900 nobody wants to hear it. It's 2023. That's if Trump just campaigns on how the election was stolen from

00:32:48.600 him, no one's going to care, even if it's true. But if Trump campaigns on going to East Palestine, 0.95

00:32:54.540 eating McDonald's with people, making fun of Joe Biden, forcing Joe Biden to at least address the

00:33:01.680 issue, saying, where are you, Joe? Why won't you come down? That's the guy. That's the guy that you're

00:33:06.720 going to want to vote for. Another example. I know people always doubt Trump's political strategy.

00:33:12.460 I've thought that Trump is a pretty good political strategist. My evidence for this is

00:33:15.840 the man won the highest office in the land the first time he ever officially ran for it.

00:33:21.680 He kind of teased a campaign in 2000, but the first time he really ran,

00:33:26.380 he didn't win mayor, he didn't win congressman, he didn't win senator. He won the highest office

00:33:30.480 in the land. The guy probably knows a thing or two about politics. And the strategy here was really,

00:33:35.380 really smart. Or at least, even if it wasn't conscious, the effect of it is really, really smart.

00:33:40.560 Right now, Biden is in a lose-lose. He's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. 0.97

00:33:43.800 If he goes to East Palestine, he looks like a jerk. If he doesn't go to East Palestine, 1.00

00:33:47.700 he looks like a jerk. And the reason for that is he is a jerk. So it's a good strategy because it 1.00

00:33:52.680 shows us the truth. Now, what is the federal government doing with regard to East Palestine?

00:33:57.720 The federal government finally has ordered a halt to the cleanup. Because you know how this

00:34:05.260 administration works. The administration allows problems to fester, not just on transportation,

00:34:13.140 but on crime, on immigration, on international affairs, on everything. They just allow problems

00:34:21.060 to fester and they get really, really bad. And then you get some catastrophic event like you saw

00:34:25.000 with the train derailment in Ohio. And then even if you don't want to blame the administration and

00:34:29.580 say it's entirely their fault for how the train derailed, okay, that's fine. It's not entirely

00:34:34.400 their fault. But then what happens? The cleanup starts to create even more problems. There were

00:34:41.340 questions raised about why did Norfolk Southern have to burn off all of those toxic chemicals and

00:34:47.840 send a mushroom clad of poison into the air? Well, they said, because one of the cars might have

00:34:52.500 exploded. There was a problem with one of the cars. Okay, why did you burn off the chemicals in five

00:34:59.060 cars? Well, you know, there was a problem in a second car. Okay, but there weren't problems in

00:35:03.500 all of these cars. And so in some cases, couldn't you have contained the chemicals? Did you have to

00:35:07.280 burn all of them off? Polluting the air, giving the residents of East Palestine all sorts of 1.00

00:35:11.620 terrible rashes and coughs and ailments, apparently compromising the drinking water. It remains

00:35:17.560 unclear how compromised that drinking water is. But a lot of the water intake facilities nearby are

00:35:22.980 turning off East Palestine. They say, no, we don't want any water that's anywhere near East

00:35:27.340 Palestine. They don't trust the water there. And now what about all the poison dirt? What about all

00:35:34.240 of the debris from this derailment? Where is it going? Well, apparently it's been going all over

00:35:39.680 the place. Officials in Texas and Michigan have said that they are now receiving the debris from

00:35:47.800 the derailment and they're getting tainted soil and they're getting tainted water. Millions of gallons

00:35:53.500 of water used to douse fires at that site have been brought into their states without full

00:35:58.400 disclosure. So they wake up one day in Texas and Michigan. They say, wait, why are you sending

00:36:03.160 your poison over here, federal government? How is it that you can take a bad situation and just

00:36:07.720 make it worse by the day and have no accountability for it at all? Ohio officials say that 20 truckloads

00:36:16.080 of contaminated soil have been hauled away from the site. Some 15 truckloads were taken to a licensed

00:36:21.220 hazardous waste facility in Belleville, Michigan. Five were then sent back to East Palestine. What

00:36:27.280 is this all about? Why is this so incompetent? And why was it all burned off? I don't want to sound 0.99

00:36:32.120 like a crazy conspiracy theorist, but given how conspiracy theories have been basically,

00:36:39.180 almost all of them vindicated in the last three years, I guess we have to entertain them. I told you,

00:36:43.320 I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I am a coincidence noticer. I have to ask, is maybe one of the

00:36:50.640 potential explanations for the massive burn off of chemicals that many experts have said was

00:36:57.280 imprudent and unnecessary, is maybe one of the explanations for Norfolk Southern just secretly

00:37:03.220 hauling off without full disclosure the waste to these other places? Are they maybe covering something

00:37:09.240 up? Is there something here that we haven't quite seen? So I'm glad to see the EPA finally has come

00:37:14.360 down and said, hey, we're going to halt this. We're going to halt this cleanup until we can figure out

00:37:18.700 what the hell is going on. Wish that they would have figured that one out three weeks ago.

00:38:22.640 Speaking of Joe Biden covering things up, Joe Biden's got another scandal on his hands, which is that

00:38:29.520 shortly after haranguing Donald Trump for allegedly holding classified documents improperly at his

00:38:38.600 home, Joe Biden was discovered to be improperly holding classified documents at his home, at one of

00:38:45.620 his offices, documents dating back not just to his presidency when he would have had the authority to

00:38:51.460 declassify the documents, but to his vice presidency, potentially to his Senate days. Guys got classified

00:38:56.980 documents everywhere. Apparently he left some of them in a box next to his Corvette that his

00:39:00.660 degenerate son was driving. Oh, that's good. Hunter Biden, who makes pretty much all of his money on

00:39:06.660 corruption and specifically corruption, selling his father's influence to foreign actors in Ukraine

00:39:12.440 and in China when Joe Biden was vice president. Yeah, that guy just was just tooling around in the

00:39:18.520 vet right next to all those classified documents. So Joe Biden was just asked about this also by David

00:39:23.500 Muir on ABC News. He was asked, what's the difference between what Trump did and what you

00:39:29.760 did? Here's the answer. But I do remember something you said after the discovery at Mar-a-Lago. You said,

00:39:36.200 I thought data that was in there may compromise sources and methods and names of people who help,

00:39:41.440 and it's just totally irresponsible. Can you assure the American people that none of the documents

00:39:47.920 discovered in your garage or at your old office compromised sources or methods or U.S. intelligence?

00:39:54.180 I've been advised by the council, let the Justice Department make that decision.

00:40:00.300 They also saw you, though, comment on former President Trump. And so at the very least...

00:40:04.060 Because look, here's what they were showing. You guys were showing on television

00:40:08.180 things lying on the ground and said top secret. NASA, you know, code word. And the difference is

00:40:15.520 every single solitary thing I've been asked to do, I've done voluntarily. You're trying to make a

00:40:20.240 comparison. There's degrees of irresponsibility that can be significant degrees of responsibility.

00:40:30.540 So his defense is, look, there's different degrees of responsibility, and that's true.

00:40:35.600 But the different degrees all favor Trump. Trump had the right to declassify any documents he wanted.

00:40:41.900 He didn't have to follow any particular procedure to do it. He could have done it in his head.

00:40:45.520 The President of the United States is not responsible to any bureaucrat when it comes

00:40:50.480 to declassifying documents. Joe Biden, when he took those documents, did not have any such right.

00:40:57.080 So the different degrees of responsibility here is Joe Biden had a far greater responsibility to

00:41:01.760 handle these documents with care, and he violated that responsibility in a far more egregious way.

00:41:08.020 And he knows it. That's why even Joe Biden, who doesn't remember what end is up,

00:41:12.160 was impelled to answer at the top of that question. He said, I've been advised by the

00:41:18.040 council not to say anything, because obviously they've got me dead to rights. I doubt anything

00:41:22.300 is going to happen as a result of it. I doubt he's going to be held to account. I'm sure we're

00:41:28.580 going to see more of this corruption from the Democrats, because when you don't punish bad

00:41:31.400 behavior, then you're going to get more of it. But he's at least admitting, at least implicitly,

00:41:38.760 that what he did was a lot worse. Speaking of leaders, there is a kid. He went a little bit

00:41:45.700 viral over the weekend. I want to make him go much more viral. I am so impressed with this kid.

00:41:50.300 He was a freshman at a liberal high school. And I'm sure that his school is a lot like your school.

00:42:00.660 I'm sure that his school is a lot like schools all around the country. Liberal, racist, sexist, 0.97

00:42:09.460 and in all the opposite ways that we're told that the public institutions are.

00:42:14.100 And he said enough. And he showed up to his school board, and he gave an oratory worthy of

00:42:22.220 at least getting him elected to Congress, if not president, already at the age of 14. Take a listen.

00:42:27.800 Hi, my name is Brad Taylor, and I just finished my freshman year at RHS. I've been a part of District

00:42:33.220 196 schools now for 10 years, and I'm going to give you a glimpse today of what's actually going on

00:42:38.080 inside these schools. Despite the board's attempt to deny it, District 196 schools are quickly

00:42:43.200 becoming a place where promoting activism is actually more important than promoting education.

00:42:49.080 I'll take you back to my first day at RHS this fall. The principal came out and gave us a heartfelt

00:42:55.320 speech about equality and standing together. He began to list countless races, such as Latino,

00:43:02.400 Asian, expressing how much they matter and how important they are. But never once did he mention

00:43:06.900 a race or identity that reflects me, or half the kids that were in the class. My honors government

00:43:12.040 teacher, I'm not going to say his name, but he's mentioned that Democrats care more about all

00:43:16.180 people while Republicans only care about themselves. And he's also inferred to us that socialism is

00:43:21.980 better than democracy. He even had a statue of a socialist leader in his classroom. I've been

00:43:27.260 approached by multiple teachers who have told me in private that they just want to say that they

00:43:30.600 agree with me, and they support me standing up, but they can't stand in front of the class for fear

00:43:34.120 of being disciplined by the administration in some way or losing their jobs. Now, due to all these

00:43:39.280 instances I've mentioned and many more that I can't fit in this five-minute speech, I've decided

00:43:43.760 to leave this district and continue school on a private Christian school online. But I will never

00:43:48.900 stop believing that everybody has value, no matter their skin color or personal beliefs. And it's a

00:43:53.620 shame that you're not going to be able to say that I was an alumni of RHS in District 196. Thank you.

00:43:59.560 Preach! Preach, man! Man, what can this kid run for? What is he, 15? He just finished his

00:44:05.260 freshman year in high school. I guess it's a little too young for Congress, but let me know when you're

00:44:10.860 ready to run, kid. I can't wait to donate. I can't wait to go vote. Beautiful. That kid showing more

00:44:17.540 clarity and maturity and courage than not only any other student at the school, any teacher at the

00:44:26.320 school. He's saying, the teachers come up to me, they say, you're right, I agree with you, but I don't

00:44:30.440 want to lose my job. How sad is that? You're going to say, hey, you, 15-year-old, thanks for doing

00:44:36.300 what I, a grown adult, am unwilling to do. Love it. And it presents a political opportunity for

00:44:43.160 Republicans. We have control of a lot of states around the country right now. This is a great

00:44:48.220 opportunity to push school choice. And why should we push school choice? Because the Democrats rely on

00:44:56.320 the schools as a major power center. School choice is the easiest way to weaken their grip on that

00:45:03.200 power. And it's a very powerful power center because classrooms are crystal balls that show

00:45:07.680 you what your country is going to look like in 20 years. Shapes the very malleable minds of little

00:45:12.320 kids. School choice is the biggest threat to that. I've been mentioning it in my new state of Tennessee,

00:45:18.880 which I love so much. This would be a great opportunity. The governor campaigned on school choice.

00:45:23.220 He's obviously very supportive of it. We've got, I don't know, like three Democrats in the whole

00:45:27.740 legislature. The Republicans outnumber the Democrats three to one, four to one in the House and the

00:45:32.340 Senate. Let's get it done, guys. This is a great opportunity. You have to be on the offense or you

00:45:38.140 will be on the defense. It's like a business. Anyone who's ever run a business or worked for a business,

00:45:43.180 for that matter, will know that a business is either growing or dying. Businesses don't just stay the

00:45:50.340 same, though. It doesn't work that way. You've got to be growing or dying. You've got to be moving

00:45:55.700 forward or you're going to be pushed backward. So let's do it. While we've got power, let's just put

00:46:01.240 that pedal to the metal and let's give more kids the opportunity that this young man has

00:46:06.320 to go pursue more edifying educational opportunities. And perhaps even more important,

00:46:13.140 weaken the stranglehold of these crazy libs that they have on public education so that we can

00:46:20.320 create better schools in the future so that we can go back, get a little more power in public education

00:46:26.060 and turn it toward the good, the true and the beautiful, not the ugly, the false and the wicked

00:46:31.600 as it is now. Speaking of young people, really disturbing story from Paris Hilton. I haven't thought

00:46:40.120 about Paris Hilton in a long time. Paris Hilton, I guess she was sort of eclipsed by Kim Kardashian

00:46:46.100 and Kim Kardashian continues to have a bad effect on her and on the culture because Kim Kardashian

00:46:50.940 apparently encouraged Paris Hilton to engage in IVF. And IVF is a controversial issue even among

00:46:57.380 pro-lifers because many people who oppose abortion, who are pro-life, they will still be in favor of IVF.

00:47:04.480 And one of the reasons for this is that there are many people out there who would not have their

00:47:09.100 children without IVF. And so they say, well, if this process gave me my child, whom I love so,

00:47:15.440 then it has to be a good process. And no one is doubting that your child is great and that you

00:47:21.560 having a child is a great thing. But good ends do not justify immoral means. We're not Machiavellians

00:47:28.960 here. We're not utilitarians here. We're not consequentialists here. We're conservatives.

00:47:32.560 We believe that the morality of actions depends upon the action itself. And in this case, the way

00:47:41.880 that Paris Hilton has done it really shows you how morally problematic IVF is because Paris Hilton now

00:47:48.800 has 20 children. I don't think she has any children that have been born, but she has 20 frozen embryos.

00:47:55.400 Why does she have 20? Why has she so irresponsibly created 20 unique human beings and then just 0.99

00:48:00.820 shoved them all in a freezer? Well, because she keeps getting boys and she doesn't want boys. 1.00

00:48:06.200 She wants girls. So she's just going to keep trying IVF. She's got unlimited money. So she's just going 1.00

00:48:12.180 to engage in IVF until she gets a girl. And the doctors, I think, are more than happy to do it. It's a

00:48:18.220 very expensive process. Doctors are more than happy to trans the kids. It's a very expensive process. 0.99

00:48:23.940 Doctors are more than happy to engage in IVF. It'll make them a lot of money.

00:48:28.420 So who knows that maybe Paris will get 25 of her sons frozen forever or 30 or 35 until she gets a 0.97

00:48:35.440 girl. She says she's waiting for that girl. Now, obviously, if it were reversed and you saw someone

00:48:40.800 say, yeah, I'm putting all the girls in a freezer until I get a boy. I really want a boy. You'd have 1.00

00:48:44.320 the feminists screaming and crying and say, this is sexist and terrible and eugenics. But because it's a 1.00

00:48:50.120 boy and boys are castigated by the culture, they don't want to say that. Because boys are toxic. 0.82

00:48:57.140 Masculinity is evil and toxic. We have to get rid of it. That is really evil stuff. 0.99

00:49:02.560 And why is she doing IVF in the first place? She says, I'm just so scared.

00:49:06.420 I think, again, leading back to Provo of being in a doctor's office, all of that, the shots,

00:49:11.140 the IVs that they put in. She says she was traumatized when she was in a room when a woman 0.81

00:49:17.140 was giving birth when she was doing her reality TV show, The Simple Life. So it's not even that

00:49:22.120 she's saying she doesn't want to give birth or try the natural way because of some medical condition 0.92

00:49:27.540 or because of some personal trauma. It's just because it seems kind of icky to her. She doesn't

00:49:31.740 want to have to do it. So she's going to have it done in test tubes, and then she'll rent out the 1.00

00:49:35.160 womb of some poor woman and inject it into her. And then maybe then that woman will give birth to her 1.00

00:49:41.260 child. But maybe she won't at all. She just keeps getting boys. She'll probably just leave them in the 1.00

00:49:45.660 freezer forever. Can anyone explain to me why this should not be illegal? I know that many people

00:49:54.160 are tempted to support IVF, especially if it's benefited you personally or a family member.

00:50:00.740 Does anybody seriously believe that this is okay? That this is morally right? That this is morally

00:50:06.860 acceptable at all? Putting souls on ice, real human beings, and for your own children because you don't

00:50:12.860 like boys. Imagine if one of these boys is born and finds out, wait, my mom put me in a freezer

00:50:17.080 and created 20 of my siblings because she doesn't like boys that much? What's that going to do to 0.97

00:50:22.360 people's minds? I heard a story the other day of a transgender identifying person, man who wanted to

00:50:30.440 be a woman. And then he detransitioned. He no longer suffers from this delusion. But it turned out

00:50:36.480 one of the reasons for this delusion was that his father that he grew up with favored his sister and

00:50:42.700 not him. And so in his mind, it was implanted that if he wanted his father's love, he would have to be

00:50:47.900 a girl. Really basic kind of psychological complexes. Could you imagine that? You're one of

00:50:54.400 Paris Hilton's sons. You see this. You read about this. Tell me that this should not be illegal.

00:51:01.060 Tell me that it would be authoritarian or terrible or too much a use of big government to say,

00:51:05.800 hey, you're not allowed to make a bunch of kids and then throw them in a freezer forever.

00:51:08.980 No one, I don't think anyone can really do that. It's Music Monday, baby. We got to get on over to

00:51:12.680 the member block. Ben Davies has given me a song that he wants me to throw all of my pop culture
