00:00:35.720 Good Ranchers, American meat delivered.

00:00:37.700 83,000 illegal aliens were apprehended last week attempting to enter the U.S. illegally.

00:00:43.780 That is the largest number in American history.

00:00:47.140 And of course, by definition, we have no idea how many successfully entered without being apprehended.

00:00:52.860 So how is the White House spinning the invasion?

00:00:55.460 Things are going at the border, sir.

00:00:58.560 Much better than you all expected.

00:01:02.260 Do you have any plans to visit the border?

00:01:04.020 No, I think, pardon me?

00:01:05.680 Do you have any plans to visit the border?

00:01:07.920 Not in the near term, no.

00:01:09.740 No, just be disruptive, not anything else.

00:01:13.700 No, better than expected.

00:01:16.020 And for once, I think Joe Biden is telling the truth.

00:01:21.380 The numbers were not, as he seems to imply, lower than expected.

00:01:26.640 Border officials were bracing for upwards of 10,000 illegal aliens per day, and the numbers

00:01:31.880 exceeded that.

00:01:33.240 So they weren't lower, but they were better than Biden expected because Biden, along with

00:01:38.300 all the liberals of the past several decades, hoped for and expected huge migration numbers.

00:01:45.600 And now they've gotten exactly what they wanted.

00:01:48.780 That's why he looks so happy.

00:01:50.880 The disconnect between Biden's reaction and reality is not over the numbers.

00:01:56.480 The disconnect is over the meaning of the word better.

00:02:00.140 Welcome back to the show.

00:02:10.700 Huge news.

00:02:12.220 Miller Lite has joined its old pal, Bud, in coming out of the closet.

00:02:16.980 We will get to that commercial in just a moment.

00:02:20.420 First, though, the situation at the border, it cannot be overstated what a disaster this

00:02:27.460 is.

00:02:27.840 It seems as though this is a perennial story.

00:02:33.400 And so it seems as though it's news.

00:02:35.260 It's not news, rather.

00:02:36.600 And that is what the libs are counting on.

00:02:38.400 The libs are counting on people hearing conservatives pointing out the chaos at the border, saying,

00:02:44.300 oh, well, they're always pointing the chaos out at the border.

00:02:46.600 This is just always going on.

00:02:48.100 It has never been like this.

00:02:49.800 We are now looking at numbers that are 2x, 3x the old, unimaginably high numbers at the

00:02:58.540 border.

00:02:58.800 OK, we we are in in a situation right now in which Obama immigration officials will say

00:03:05.860 that one thousand migrants crossing per day overwhelms the system.

00:03:10.320 And now we're looking at four thousand, six thousand, 10,000 illegal aliens per day, some

00:03:15.880 of whom very clearly are not only trying to violate the laws of our nation to improve their

00:03:21.360 own lives.

00:03:21.800 Some people are trying to violate the laws of our nation to directly harm the nation, to

00:03:28.060 commit acts of terror.

00:03:28.980 Border Patrol arrested an Afghan who's on the terror watch list at the border.

00:03:34.160 U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested this guy in a group of migrants last week.

00:03:40.180 They say we are vigilant in our efforts to detect and assess possible threats.

00:03:44.440 And we work closely with our federal, state and local law enforcement partners to keep

00:03:48.200 communities safe.

00:03:49.540 So there are two conclusions we can draw here.

00:03:52.520 One is bad and one is even worse.

00:03:55.100 The bad conclusion we can draw is, golly, if U.S. Border Patrol were able to apprehend this

00:04:01.680 one terrorist from Afghanistan trying to sneak over the border, how many did they not apprehend? 0.67

00:04:06.980 You've got 10,000 people flooding over the border, more than 10,000 people at the peak

00:04:11.460 over the last week.

00:04:12.600 So how many terrorists made it through, slipped through the fingers of law enforcement?

00:04:17.020 That's a bad take.

00:04:18.880 That's pretty scary.

00:04:20.600 But here's the worst possibility.

00:04:24.960 Maybe they got the guy.

00:04:26.340 This is what the libs will say.

00:04:27.640 They'll say, look, we always get the really bad guys, OK?

00:04:30.660 We apprehend these terrorists at the border.

00:04:33.680 No big deal.

00:04:34.560 See, the immigration system's working fine.

00:04:36.500 When we want to get a guy, we can zero in.

00:04:39.100 We can track him from Afghanistan to Guatemala to Mexico to wherever, and we can get him at

00:04:44.880 the southern border.

00:04:46.560 Which means that the administration can control the border when it wants to.

00:04:52.680 It just chooses not to.

00:04:56.380 What that conclusion would imply is that the government is not being overwhelmed here by

00:05:02.320 the masses of human beings who are pouring across.

00:05:05.040 No, they actually have everything totally under control, and the chaos you're seeing at the

00:05:09.520 border is intentional.

00:05:12.000 These people, these millions and millions of illegal aliens are being permitted into the 1.00

00:05:15.840 country every year as part of an intentional plan to undermine the American political order

00:05:20.620 and to change the demographics of the country, ultimately the voting demographics of the country,

00:05:26.420 to change the whole way the country operates.

00:05:29.820 To me, that's much darker than did some two-bit terrorist sneak across the Rio Grande.

00:05:36.640 That would be very bad.

00:05:38.540 But our government just allowing this to happen when it's in full possession of the ability

00:05:46.560 to stop it, that is much scarier.

00:05:48.960 And we know that the government is corrupt because now we've got the Durham investigation,

00:05:53.660 we've got the conclusions of that years-long investigation into the corruption of the FBI

00:05:59.240 and the DOJ and the Obama administration in beginning to spy on Donald Trump's campaign

00:06:04.240 back in 2016.

00:06:05.580 And the facts that they've found are damning.

00:06:08.880 Some of them are surprising.

00:06:10.600 We knew things were going to be bad.

00:06:12.100 This is worse than I expected, actually.

00:06:13.960 And it's even kind of funny the way this all started.

00:06:18.640 So according to the Durham report, the Clinton campaign decided that it was going to smear Donald

00:06:27.240 Trump as a Russian asset.

00:06:29.920 And the U.S. intelligence community learned about the Clinton campaign's plan to smear Donald

00:06:36.860 Trump as a Russian asset.

00:06:38.440 But apparently, the U.S. intelligence community learned about this plan by overhearing Russian

00:06:46.360 intelligence discover the Clinton plan to, without any basis, paint Donald Trump as a

00:06:53.020 Russian stooge. 0.64

00:06:55.000 So according to Ratcliffe's letter quoted in the Durham report, quote, in late July 2016,

00:07:02.340 U.S. intelligence agencies obtained insight into Russian intelligence analysis, alleging that

00:07:07.880 U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had approved a campaign plan to stir up scandal 0.99

00:07:12.540 against U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump by tying him to Putin and the Russians

00:07:17.380 hacking of the Democratic National Committee.

00:07:21.380 I love this idea.

00:07:22.920 I'm not sure exactly how it went down, but I love the idea of the CIA listening in.

00:07:26.560 And they hear these Russians and they say, duh, have you here, crazy American woman, Hillary 0.96

00:07:30.740 Clinton?

00:07:31.320 She is now saying that Donald Trump is Russian stooge.

00:07:33.900 Where did Hillary Clinton get the idea that I do not know, but she said she's going to

00:07:37.960 paint the scandal?

00:07:39.260 And then the CIA is listening to this, and the CIA, or whoever is listening, I don't know

00:07:43.900 who's actually spying on these people.

00:07:45.200 It seems like, it's like that Mad Magazine cartoon.

00:07:48.740 You've got spies on spies on spies on spies.

00:07:51.560 But whichever agency it was, you've got the IC broadly, the intelligence community broadly

00:07:57.720 hearing this, they know it's not true.

00:08:00.800 They know that this is just some nonsense cooked up by the Clinton political campaign.

00:08:06.340 So then what happens?

00:08:07.980 Well, we know what happens.

00:08:08.960 On August 3rd, 2016, within days of receiving the Clinton plan intelligence, director of

00:08:16.720 the CIA, John Brennan, meets with the vice president, senior administration officials,

00:08:24.780 the attorney general, the FBI director, and the president himself, Obama, is briefed by

00:08:31.500 the CIA director in the White House Situation Room to discuss Russian election interference

00:08:38.160 efforts.

00:08:39.360 And they discuss the Clinton bogus scandal they're trying to gin up against Trump.

00:08:48.160 According to John Brennan's handwritten notes and his recollections from the meeting, he briefed

00:08:52.840 on relevant intelligence, specific, relevant intelligence, including the Clinton plan intelligence.

00:09:02.440 Specifically, Director Brennan's declassified handwritten notes reflect that he briefed the

00:09:06.520 meeting's participants regarding the, quote, alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26th

00:09:12.020 of a proposal from one of her campaign advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal

00:09:18.140 claiming interference by the Russian security services, end quote.

00:09:21.540 We now have firm proof that not only was the Russia hoax a hoax cooked up by Hillary Clinton,

00:09:31.340 the most senior people in the American government all knew it.

00:09:37.340 The FBI, the CIA, the president, they all knew it and they all spied on Trump anyway.

00:09:46.320 They all knew it and they all spread the lie through the media anyway.

00:09:51.540 It was a complete witch hunt.

00:09:56.300 And so when you see that, when you see that everybody was involved in like out of the craziest

00:10:00.880 conspiracy theory, fever dream kind of movie screenplay, when you see everybody's involved,

00:10:06.240 conservatives have to ask ourselves, we have to say, how can we trust the government agencies?

00:10:14.020 We've got to restore some balance to our government.

00:10:16.120 We've got to restore some balance to our body.

00:11:38.020 It's a sad fact, but conservatives simply cannot trust the federal agencies.

00:11:43.700 Between what we learned from the Durham report and what we've just seen over the past several years,

00:11:50.140 but from the Catholic memoranda going around the FBI saying we're going to infiltrate Catholic churches,

00:11:56.000 we're going to try to cultivate priests as assets to spy on their parishes,

00:12:00.120 because if you're a traditional Catholic and you go to the Latin Mass,

00:12:03.680 can you imagine, heaven forfend, why you're probably a threat?

00:12:08.120 You might be a terrorist.

00:12:10.540 We've got terrorists pouring across our southern border.

00:12:12.900 That's fine.

00:12:14.140 Maybe we'll pick up one or two of them.

00:12:15.440 But the ones we really got to focus on, those Catholics, those Christians,

00:12:19.700 those parents who don't want their kids to be indoctrinated into critical race theory

00:12:24.020 and gender theory in kindergarten, they're the real terror threat. 1.00

00:12:27.920 How can we trust our own agencies?

00:12:31.000 We know that they lie to destroy us.

00:12:36.460 And it's not even as though they cooked up some plot to entrap

00:12:39.520 or to just baselessly smear some random fringe figure.

00:12:43.880 They did it to the Republican nominee for president,

00:12:46.440 who later became the Republican president.

00:12:48.620 They'll do it to all of us.

00:12:50.720 Speaking of lawlessness in government, a Democrat senator is now declaring a popular revolt

00:12:57.860 if the Supreme Court affirms the Second Amendment.

00:13:02.460 If the Supreme Court eventually says that states or the Congress can't pass universal background checks

00:13:08.960 or can't take these assault weapons off the streets,

00:13:11.040 I think there's going to be a popular revolt over that policy.

00:13:14.740 A court that's already pretty illegitimate is going to be in full crisis mode.

00:13:18.320 This is not just some talking head pundit mouthing off on NBC News.

00:13:24.160 This is a sitting U.S. senator.

00:13:25.920 This is a Democrat political leader saying,

00:13:29.420 I'll tell you, the court's not legitimate.

00:13:31.860 One of the three branches of government, it's not legitimate.

00:13:34.500 And so if they uphold the American tradition of self-protection

00:13:41.740 and the Second Amendment and the Constitution,

00:13:44.940 I just think there's going to be a popular revolt.

00:13:47.320 Well, it's a nice society you got there.

00:13:50.580 It's a nice courthouse you got there.

00:13:51.820 It's a nice civil society.

00:13:54.280 Sure would be a shame if there were a popular revolt, wouldn't it?

00:13:58.600 Supreme Court, I think you know what to do.

00:14:00.700 Talking like a mobster.

00:14:01.800 And this is what they always do.

00:14:03.400 This is what they did during BLM.

00:14:05.480 You're going to oppose some of the radical BLM demands.

00:14:08.760 You're not going to give zillions of dollars to far left-wing groups to fund left-wing politicians.

00:14:13.960 You're not going to acquiesce to the leftist policies.

00:14:17.760 Oh, it's a nice business you got.

00:14:19.020 Sure would be a shame if something happened to it.

00:14:21.560 That's what they always tell us.

00:14:23.920 What Democrat Chris Murphy is calling for here is no less than an insurrection.

00:14:29.940 And he's framing his advocacy of such a thing as mere prediction.

00:14:37.200 But it's not mere prediction because he's saying that the court's illegitimate.

00:14:40.080 The court has lost legitimacy.

00:14:42.120 And I tell you, if I were a gambling man, I would imagine there might be a popular revolt.

00:14:47.600 The simple sentences that Chris Murphy uttered on Meet the Press are a far more serious type of insurrection than anything that happened around January 6th.

00:15:02.440 The worst day in the history of politics.

00:15:05.640 It's not even close.

00:15:08.480 And this is what they do.

00:15:10.520 This is what they regularly do.

00:15:12.100 And this is why very few things get me angry.

00:15:16.740 I'm pretty even-tempered.

00:15:18.140 Very cool.

00:15:18.900 But when the squishes take the bait, and for every stupid lie that they cook up about Donald Trump, 0.67

00:15:25.540 they've been cooking up one lie more preposterous than the next since the 2016 campaign,

00:15:32.720 all the way up to the level of the CIA director and the FBI director and the president of the United States.

00:15:37.140 When the squishes buy into this stuff, when they buy into the language around the insurrection, 0.67

00:15:43.980 give me a break.

00:15:45.560 The libs regularly call for insurrections.

00:15:48.680 They just did so on national TV.

00:15:50.500 I guess that's the difference.

00:15:51.960 When the conservatives do an insurrection, it's an eccentric horn hat guy dancing around the Capitol Rotunda

00:15:57.120 with police protection, getting a private tour of the Capitol.

00:16:00.760 It's a granny taking a picture in the Capitol Rotunda. 1.00

00:16:04.040 And when the Democrats call for an insurrection, they call for a popular revolt.

00:16:08.620 They support violence in the streets, and they do so on national television.

00:16:12.180 That's the difference.

00:16:14.260 Now, speaking of constitutional rights and supposed constitutional rights,

00:16:19.340 and President Trump for that matter.

00:16:20.800 President Trump, I think he made a little bit of a misstep.

00:16:24.040 And so, in a spirit of friendship and love and care,

00:16:29.340 I would encourage him to maybe not go down the path that he appears to be going down,

00:16:34.320 which is, President Trump is positioning himself to the left of Ron DeSantis on the issue of life.

00:16:41.500 And I think this is a huge mistake.

00:16:44.460 Trump was discussing the abortion ban,

00:16:48.780 now the six-week abortion ban in Florida that Ron DeSantis is behind.

00:16:52.640 And Trump said, quote,

00:16:54.900 He has to do what he has to do.

00:16:56.980 If you look at what DeSantis did,

00:16:58.400 a lot of people don't even know if he knew what he was doing.

00:17:01.100 But he signed six weeks,

00:17:02.820 and many people within the pro-life community feel that was too harsh.

00:17:07.700 So just to correct the record,

00:17:10.360 as a card-carrying member in good standing of the pro-life community,

00:17:14.920 nobody within the pro-life community thinks six weeks is too harsh.

00:17:19.140 We think that six weeks is too lenient,

00:17:20.980 because a person is a person no matter how small,

00:17:23.740 and it's always wrong to murder people.

00:17:26.200 And so, if anything at all,

00:17:28.380 a six-week ban is too lenient,

00:17:30.540 might be a good incremental step in the right direction.

00:17:33.500 But murder is either wrong or it isn't.

00:17:36.700 And abortion either ends a human life or it doesn't. 0.73

00:17:41.440 And there's no way to meet in the middle.

00:17:43.540 We've talked about this a lot with transgenderism.

00:17:45.480 Frankly, it's even clearer on the issue of abortion.

00:17:47.780 There are some issues where we can find a conciliatory middle ground,

00:17:52.160 and everybody can kumbaya and be happy.

00:17:54.520 On tax rates, on immigration policy,

00:17:57.200 on foreign policy, on trade,

00:17:59.040 on all sorts of things.

00:18:00.660 But on a question like life,

00:18:03.340 it's kind of a binary question.

00:18:06.160 Can we kill babies or not? 0.97

00:18:08.740 Should we murder innocent little babies or not?

00:18:11.120 If the baby is a baby,

00:18:13.660 if abortion ends a human life,

00:18:15.860 then you shouldn't be allowed to do it.

00:18:19.200 If abortion does not end a human life, 0.79

00:18:22.040 if the baby's not really a baby,

00:18:23.440 if it's some other kind of thing,

00:18:25.020 it's a mere clump of cells,

00:18:26.880 or it's not a human,

00:18:28.160 or not alive,

00:18:29.020 or whatever,

00:18:29.760 then there's no reason that you should really limit abortion at all.

00:18:32.420 This is why Hillary Clinton's answer on abortion, 1.00

00:18:34.740 the safe, legal, and rare answer on abortion,

00:18:36.900 is so silly.

00:18:37.680 If abortion is murder,

00:18:41.020 then it shouldn't be legal.

00:18:41.940 If abortion is not murder, 0.88

00:18:43.040 then it should not be rare.

00:18:44.620 There's no reason for it to be rare.

00:18:46.280 I think this is a huge mistake for Trump, too,

00:18:47.940 just politically,

00:18:48.840 because Trump is the guy who overruled Roe v. Wade,

00:18:51.880 as he pointed out elsewhere in that statement.

00:18:54.880 But that's what he's going to,

00:18:55.940 that's what he should run on.

00:18:57.420 He's the greatest hero to the pro-life movement

00:18:59.340 that we've ever seen.

00:19:00.540 Okay, run on it.

00:19:01.960 Win it.

00:19:02.900 Americans are pro-life.

00:19:03.860 The Republican base is very pro-life.

00:19:05.400 Why would you ever cede that territory

00:19:08.260 to your primary rival,

00:19:11.660 your chief primary rival,

00:19:13.060 when you've got the best record on it?

00:19:15.820 It's a huge mistake to run to the left of DeSantis.

00:19:18.640 The knock on DeSantis' campaign right now

00:19:20.840 is that he has support from people within the establishment.

00:19:23.840 It's not even necessarily DeSantis' fault.

00:19:25.900 He's just,

00:19:26.200 he's not Trump.

00:19:27.180 He's the biggest threat to Trump,

00:19:28.340 and so people in the establishment

00:19:29.360 are more inclined to support him.

00:19:30.700 So if you're Trump,

00:19:32.560 you know that your base,

00:19:34.120 your guys are the hardcore ones.

00:19:35.620 They're the bloodthirsty ones. 0.99

00:19:36.920 They're the,

00:19:37.860 paradoxically though,

00:19:38.660 on the issue of life,

00:19:39.380 they're actually the ones

00:19:39.960 who don't want to shed blood.

00:19:42.920 They're the ones

00:19:43.340 who are the great defenders of life.

00:19:44.560 So just go for it, man.

00:19:45.880 You're Donald Trump.

00:19:46.720 Be Donald Trump.

00:19:48.040 Don't meet people in the middle, okay?

00:19:50.780 Especially on something like life,

00:19:52.260 especially on something

00:19:52.920 that is the most important aspect

00:19:55.120 of your legacy.

00:19:56.800 When Donald Trump is remembered,

00:19:58.860 he might be remembered

00:20:00.060 for a handful of things,

00:20:01.380 but the chief accomplishment

00:20:02.800 that man has to his name,

00:20:05.480 the most important thing

00:20:06.320 that man has ever done in his life

00:20:08.580 is to appoint the judges

00:20:11.520 who overruled Roe v. Wade,

00:20:14.800 who will,

00:20:15.720 over the course of the years,

00:20:17.940 hundreds of thousands,

00:20:18.900 millions of babies will be saved

00:20:20.880 because of what Donald Trump did.

00:20:22.480 So run on it, man.

00:20:24.240 Don't cede that ground to DeSantis.

00:20:25.860 Right now DeSantis

00:20:26.540 is being identified

00:20:27.280 with the culture war

00:20:28.080 and the libs are furious about it.

00:20:30.840 Anna Navarro over on The View,

00:20:34.400 you know that probably

00:20:35.660 the most intellectual outlet

00:20:37.060 on the left.

00:20:37.820 I'm damning with faint praise,

00:20:38.960 but that's probably what it is.

00:20:40.060 Watched by lots of people.

00:20:41.380 It's the highest rated show

00:20:42.280 in daytime.

00:20:43.600 Anna Navarro is claiming

00:20:45.080 that DeSantis,

00:20:46.620 he's a cynical opportunist.

00:20:48.240 He's attaching himself

00:20:49.400 like a parasite

00:20:50.300 to manufactured culture wars.

00:22:16.580 Ron DeSantis,

00:22:17.660 that opportunistic Ron DeSantis,

00:22:21.080 that guy who's defending

00:22:22.540 norms and standards

00:22:24.340 in schools,

00:22:25.420 that guy who's protecting life

00:22:27.520 on abortion,

00:22:28.700 that guy,

00:22:29.600 that jerk. 0.59

00:22:30.280 You know what he's doing?

00:22:31.520 According to Anna Navarro

00:22:32.620 in The View,

00:22:33.660 he's attaching himself

00:22:35.280 like a parasite

00:22:36.020 to those manufactured

00:22:37.640 culture war issues.

00:22:39.560 And I think that

00:22:40.540 the town hall last week

00:22:42.640 showed that a lot of people

00:22:44.840 in the Republican space

00:22:46.000 still really like

00:22:47.360 Trump's entertainment

00:22:49.080 and circus.

00:22:51.920 Ron DeSantis has a problem.

00:22:53.420 Ron DeSantis' numbers

00:22:54.240 have dropped drastically

00:22:56.060 since he won re-election

00:22:57.960 in November.

00:22:58.980 I think it's because

00:23:00.340 he's attached himself

00:23:01.980 like a parasite

00:23:02.980 to every single culture

00:23:05.180 manufactured culture war issue

00:23:07.460 he can.

00:23:08.500 And people,

00:23:09.360 particularly Floridians,

00:23:10.720 see through it.

00:23:11.400 It's really kind of like

00:23:12.220 an old shtick now.

00:23:13.280 Drag queens,

00:23:14.560 Mickey Mouse,

00:23:15.340 AP Black History courses.

00:23:18.260 I mean,

00:23:18.580 it's just crazy.

00:23:20.120 So Anna Navarro

00:23:21.260 is obviously wrong

00:23:22.440 on the facts.

00:23:25.180 Anna Navarro is,

00:23:27.280 before we get to the

00:23:28.080 manufactured culture war stuff,

00:23:30.000 she's claiming that

00:23:30.920 there's this big distinction

00:23:32.100 between Trump

00:23:33.180 and DeSantis

00:23:33.880 in that DeSantis,

00:23:35.460 he's just this manufactured

00:23:36.920 culture war character.

00:23:38.660 And Trump is not.

00:23:40.840 Trump's not a culture war figure.

00:23:42.700 Trump,

00:23:43.120 the guy who got

00:23:43.840 Roe v. Wade overruled,

00:23:44.860 Trump,

00:23:45.400 the guy who launched

00:23:46.000 his presidential campaign

00:23:47.060 by calling Mexicans 0.72

00:23:48.420 rapists

00:23:49.080 at his hotel.

00:23:51.940 That Trump?

00:23:53.600 No,

00:23:54.160 he's not a culture war guy.

00:23:55.740 No,

00:23:55.960 he's a regular

00:23:56.560 bushy country club

00:23:57.680 Republican,

00:23:58.200 right?

00:23:59.860 He launched his campaign

00:24:01.560 by saying

00:24:02.360 the Mexicans 0.81

00:24:03.460 crossing the border

00:24:04.380 are rapists

00:24:05.620 and murderers

00:24:06.380 and some,

00:24:06.960 I suppose,

00:24:07.340 are good people.

00:24:08.580 No,

00:24:08.900 they're both

00:24:09.220 culture war figures.

00:24:11.040 But then,

00:24:11.780 what about

00:24:12.600 the manufactured culture war?

00:24:13.980 The culture war

00:24:14.520 has been manufactured.

00:24:15.560 She's right about that.

00:24:18.220 But the question

00:24:19.100 you got to ask yourself

00:24:19.900 is manufactured

00:24:20.800 by whom?

00:24:22.840 Did conservatives

00:24:23.620 manufacture the culture war?

00:24:25.300 Did conservatives

00:24:26.160 redefine marriage

00:24:27.700 for the first time

00:24:28.940 ever

00:24:29.240 in this fundamental way?

00:24:30.840 Did conservatives

00:24:31.540 redefine biology?

00:24:33.600 Did conservatives

00:24:34.280 call for the

00:24:35.520 mass slaughter

00:24:36.340 of little babies,

00:24:37.320 800,000 per year?

00:24:38.980 Did conservatives

00:24:39.720 call for the eradication

00:24:40.920 of our open border?

00:24:43.140 Did conservatives

00:24:43.920 or for the eradication

00:24:45.240 of our border

00:24:45.720 making it an open border?

00:24:46.960 Did conservatives

00:24:47.640 do this?

00:24:48.120 Did conservatives

00:24:48.580 do that?

00:24:49.320 The culture war

00:24:50.420 is always

00:24:53.000 instigated

00:24:54.280 by the libs.

00:24:57.140 Necessarily.

00:24:57.840 We're conservatives.

00:25:00.140 We like to

00:25:00.980 conserve things.

00:25:03.020 There's more to it

00:25:03.960 than that,

00:25:04.380 but that's broadly

00:25:05.220 the way things go.

00:25:06.680 Conservatives

00:25:07.080 tend to be

00:25:08.080 a little more normal,

00:25:10.620 a little more

00:25:11.220 well-adjusted,

00:25:12.080 a little happier,

00:25:12.960 a little more content.

00:25:14.620 It's always the libs

00:25:15.640 who are shrieking

00:25:16.200 and screaming 0.96

00:25:16.640 and trying to upend

00:25:17.460 everything.

00:25:19.020 So they manufacture it

00:25:20.800 and then we respond

00:25:23.340 to their manufacturing

00:25:24.380 and we try to

00:25:25.380 stop them

00:25:26.360 from manufacturing it.

00:25:27.780 We try to export it.

00:25:29.120 We try to get it away.

00:25:30.300 Whatever you guys

00:25:31.320 are manufacturing,

00:25:32.080 we don't want it.

00:25:32.960 Okay?

00:25:34.300 And then the libs

00:25:35.300 accuse us

00:25:36.960 of

00:25:38.520 manufacturing

00:25:40.300 the thing

00:25:40.580 they already manufactured.

00:25:41.480 What is she talking about?

00:25:42.520 She's talking about

00:25:43.460 drag queens,

00:25:45.840 Mickey Mouse,

00:25:47.340 AP Black History courses.

00:25:49.400 So she's talking about

00:25:50.520 should perverts

00:25:51.740 twerk for little kids?

00:25:53.840 No.

00:25:55.200 They manufacture it.

00:25:55.980 We say,

00:25:56.220 no thanks,

00:25:56.640 we don't want it.

00:25:57.960 Mickey Mouse,

00:25:58.780 should Disney

00:25:59.420 push a not-so-secret

00:26:00.940 gay agenda? 0.97

00:26:01.760 The words of the Disney execs,

00:26:02.980 not mine.

00:26:04.440 No.

00:26:05.200 No thank you.

00:26:05.840 We don't want that.

00:26:06.960 And should students

00:26:08.640 be taught in school

00:26:09.460 that white people are evil 0.78

00:26:10.620 and America's evil

00:26:11.560 and the West is the worst

00:26:12.340 place ever

00:26:12.880 under the guise

00:26:14.920 behind the facade

00:26:15.880 of black history?

00:26:17.220 No, of course not.

00:26:18.740 Of course not.

00:26:19.800 Now,

00:26:20.180 speaking of DeSantis

00:26:21.000 and education,

00:26:23.220 DeSantis

00:26:23.660 is

00:26:24.840 on a tear

00:26:27.220 when it comes to education

00:26:28.280 and he's pushing

00:26:29.640 a classical

00:26:31.560 form

00:26:32.460 of education

00:26:33.500 in Florida schools.

00:26:34.440 If you want to do

00:26:36.520 things like

00:26:37.520 gender ideology,

00:26:40.160 go to Berkeley,

00:26:41.740 go to some

00:26:42.200 of these other places.

00:26:43.040 That's fine.

00:26:46.660 It's fine.

00:26:49.560 And there's nothing,

00:26:50.620 if that's what you want to do,

00:26:52.000 there's nothing wrong

00:26:52.920 with that

00:26:53.580 per se,

00:26:54.900 but for us,

00:26:55.760 with our tax dollars,

00:26:57.460 we want to focus on

00:26:59.000 the classical mission

00:27:00.520 of what a university

00:27:01.420 is supposed to be.

00:27:02.380 We don't want to be diverted

00:27:04.380 into a lot of these

00:27:05.200 niche subjects

00:27:06.020 that are heavily politicized.

00:27:08.160 We want to focus

00:27:08.960 on the basics.

00:27:09.520 And I think what you've seen

00:27:10.560 as these types of majors

00:27:12.540 and, of course,

00:27:13.160 first of all,

00:27:14.560 how employable are you

00:27:16.360 with some of these majors?

00:27:17.640 I mean,

00:27:17.980 really,

00:27:18.820 it's not a good

00:27:20.680 academic choice

00:27:22.560 in terms of being able

00:27:23.700 to be employable.

00:27:24.980 That's one of the reasons

00:27:25.860 I think

00:27:26.400 this whole student loan thing,

00:27:28.640 universities should be

00:27:29.920 on the hook

00:27:30.560 for the student loans.

00:27:31.760 If that were the case,

00:27:33.020 they would make sure

00:27:34.120 that their curriculum

00:27:35.180 was really fit

00:27:36.640 to be productive

00:27:37.520 for the students

00:27:38.460 when they graduate.

00:27:40.340 Great stuff.

00:27:41.360 I love it.

00:27:42.240 This is an important

00:27:43.280 tactic to use.

00:27:45.000 One,

00:27:45.360 education as a subject

00:27:46.840 is very important,

00:27:47.720 but the tactic

00:27:48.400 is important here too.

00:27:49.660 We've got to go after

00:27:50.800 the liberal power centers.

00:27:52.460 Universities are one of them.

00:27:53.980 How do we go after them?

00:27:55.300 We put them on the hook

00:27:56.200 for student loans.

00:27:57.060 How do we go after them?

00:27:57.860 We tax those endowments.

00:27:59.260 How do we go after them?

00:28:00.340 We attack their centers of power.

00:28:05.520 Basic stuff.

00:28:06.580 DeSantis is totally right about it.

00:28:08.100 My only disagreement

00:28:09.020 with him here

00:28:09.760 is that he says,

00:28:12.640 look,

00:28:12.900 if you want to teach

00:28:13.640 crazy gender stuff 1.00

00:28:14.780 in Berkeley,

00:28:15.400 that's fine,

00:28:16.020 but we're not going to do that

00:28:16.860 in Florida.

00:28:17.700 My only disagreement with him is

00:28:19.020 it isn't fine

00:28:20.340 in California either.

00:28:22.420 I get that we've got

00:28:23.440 a list of priorities.

00:28:24.760 Okay,

00:28:24.980 we've got to get the wins

00:28:26.860 that we can first,

00:28:28.120 but we shouldn't grant them

00:28:29.420 that premise.

00:28:30.000 Oh,

00:28:30.120 you can have California.

00:28:31.400 No,

00:28:31.880 the libs don't do that. 1.00

00:28:33.160 It's not fine to teach

00:28:34.000 this crap in California either.

00:28:35.440 It's not fine to teach it

00:28:36.200 in New York either.

00:28:37.980 The libs

00:28:38.700 never cede ground.

00:28:40.880 They never say,

00:28:41.500 look,

00:28:41.880 if you want

00:28:42.960 to not acknowledge

00:28:44.400 this ridiculous

00:28:45.420 transgender ideology

00:28:46.760 in Tennessee,

00:28:48.000 that's fine.

00:28:49.120 If you don't want

00:28:49.720 to radically redefine

00:28:50.660 marriage in Texas,

00:28:52.000 that's fine.

00:28:52.540 If you don't want

00:28:53.880 to have marauding gangs

00:28:56.200 all over your streets

00:28:57.500 in Florida,

00:28:59.720 that's fine.

00:29:00.480 No.

00:29:01.840 The libs push nationwide

00:29:03.160 to redefine

00:29:05.520 the fundamental building block,

00:29:07.020 to chop up

00:29:08.340 little kids' bodies,

00:29:09.700 to defund the police,

00:29:12.400 to this,

00:29:12.920 that,

00:29:13.020 and the other thing.

00:29:13.780 They don't respect

00:29:15.180 the state borders,

00:29:16.440 and frankly,

00:29:17.640 we shouldn't either.

00:29:18.640 This stuff is really bad.

00:29:20.680 We are countrymen

00:29:21.580 with the Californians,

00:29:22.580 and we should endeavor

00:29:23.400 through appropriate

00:29:25.960 and just means

00:29:26.740 while respecting principles

00:29:27.900 such as subsidiarity

00:29:29.040 and federalism.

00:29:29.980 We should endeavor

00:29:30.680 to get this stuff

00:29:32.060 out of California too.

00:29:33.900 Sometimes the best defense

00:29:35.240 is a good offense.

00:29:36.320 You've got to give yourself

00:29:37.800 a little bit of

00:29:39.320 ideological breathing room.

00:29:41.460 Okay?

00:29:42.980 This is what aroused

00:29:44.320 so much ire

00:29:44.940 at my CPAC speech.

00:29:45.840 It's one of the reasons

00:29:46.440 that they lied about me

00:29:47.400 all the way up

00:29:48.140 to the White House

00:29:48.780 and put words

00:29:49.960 into my mouth

00:29:50.520 is because

00:29:51.360 they were horrified

00:29:53.240 by the plain words

00:29:55.320 that I did say,

00:29:56.540 which is,

00:29:57.060 no,

00:29:57.180 we're not going to fight

00:29:57.880 the transgender battle 0.59

00:29:58.820 over should it be

00:29:59.560 eight-year-olds

00:30:00.120 or nine-year-olds

00:30:00.800 being trans.

00:30:01.660 We're going to fight it

00:30:02.420 over whether

00:30:03.120 transgenderism is real

00:30:04.740 or not.

00:30:05.180 And by the way,

00:30:05.520 it's not real,

00:30:06.040 and we need to eradicate 0.67

00:30:06.800 the whole ideology

00:30:07.760 from public life.

00:30:08.720 That puts the libs

00:30:09.640 on their heels.

00:30:10.780 And so now,

00:30:11.400 all of a sudden,

00:30:11.820 they've got to defend

00:30:12.520 transgenderism.

00:30:13.740 And while they're

00:30:14.220 defending transgenderism,

00:30:15.620 they're not trying

00:30:16.260 to trans the seven-year-olds.

00:30:17.440 They're fighting

00:30:18.160 an earlier battle.

00:30:21.600 Same thing goes

00:30:22.340 for education.

00:30:23.420 If we go on the offense

00:30:24.380 and we say,

00:30:25.400 now,

00:30:25.580 we're going to pass laws

00:30:26.480 to make it illegal

00:30:27.360 to teach this gender crap 1.00

00:30:28.620 or race hate

00:30:30.260 or whatever stuff

00:30:31.260 they're teaching

00:30:31.640 in California,

00:30:32.400 we're going to do it

00:30:33.040 in their states.

00:30:34.180 Every second

00:30:35.080 that they're fighting

00:30:36.460 that issue,

00:30:37.120 every dollar they spend

00:30:38.460 trying to defend

00:30:40.420 critical race theory

00:30:41.420 in California,

00:30:42.640 that's a moment,

00:30:44.180 that's a dollar

00:30:44.940 that they're not spending

00:30:46.180 trying to push

00:30:47.140 their ideology

00:30:47.920 onto you

00:30:49.100 in Tennessee

00:30:49.760 and Texas

00:30:50.380 and Florida.

00:30:52.000 Speaking of,

00:30:53.080 speaking of these

00:30:55.140 viral,

00:30:56.560 communicable diseases,

00:30:57.700 that's how I,

00:30:58.060 that's how I view

00:30:58.700 liberalism now.

00:30:59.700 It's like a,

00:31:00.380 it's like a communicable

00:31:01.680 disease that we just

00:31:02.600 need to contain

00:31:03.380 in the way that we

00:31:04.020 contain communism,

00:31:05.000 in the way we contain

00:31:05.900 a pandemic.

00:31:06.840 But speaking of virality,

00:31:08.660 this is the most

00:31:09.720 troubling story

00:31:10.460 I've seen

00:31:11.560 all week,

00:31:12.300 and it has nothing

00:31:13.360 to do with the border

00:31:14.120 or the 2024 race

00:31:16.140 or any of that.

00:31:17.960 It has to do

00:31:18.940 with an

00:31:19.500 Instagram lady.

00:31:22.080 It has to do

00:31:22.720 with a social media

00:31:23.500 influencer.

00:31:24.520 She's 23 years old.

00:31:26.220 She's got 1.8 million

00:31:27.540 followers on Snapchat

00:31:28.700 alone to say nothing

00:31:29.920 of the other social

00:31:30.560 media platforms.

00:31:32.080 Her name is Karen Marjorie

00:31:33.640 and she has created

00:31:34.740 a chatbot.

00:31:36.500 Her chatbot

00:31:37.240 is called

00:31:37.680 chat,

00:31:38.560 or Karen AI.

00:31:40.500 And users of this

00:31:41.420 chatbot

00:31:41.960 pay $1 per minute

00:31:44.540 to speak to a robot

00:31:46.220 that pretends

00:31:47.320 to be her.

00:31:48.960 And in the first week

00:31:50.500 of its beta test,

00:31:52.500 this woman made 0.99

00:31:53.240 $70,000.

00:31:56.240 I'm looking over

00:31:57.240 at my producer

00:31:57.840 Ben Davies over here.

00:31:58.880 We're in the wrong

00:31:59.560 line of work.

00:32:00.520 We,

00:32:01.180 oh man,

00:32:02.080 I should have just been

00:32:03.160 a young hot chick. 1.00

00:32:05.100 And then,

00:32:05.420 can you imagine

00:32:05.980 how much,

00:32:06.500 especially one

00:32:07.860 with nerd techie friends,

00:32:09.640 because then you don't

00:32:10.440 actually have to do

00:32:11.340 anything at all.

00:32:13.660 You can outsource

00:32:14.720 even

00:32:15.480 social media

00:32:19.080 thirst traps.

00:32:21.280 You can outsource

00:32:22.200 even that

00:32:22.880 to an algorithm.

00:32:24.880 Now,

00:32:25.440 what does this gal say? 1.00

00:32:26.860 She says,

00:32:27.420 Karen AI

00:32:28.120 will never

00:32:28.840 replace me.

00:32:30.480 Karen AI

00:32:31.160 is simply

00:32:31.940 just an extension

00:32:33.440 of me,

00:32:34.480 an extension

00:32:35.160 of my consciousness.

00:32:37.540 Because

00:32:38.040 her

00:32:38.560 shtick

00:32:39.260 is that

00:32:39.780 she amasses

00:32:40.440 all these

00:32:40.780 followers

00:32:41.220 who are these

00:32:41.600 young,

00:32:42.220 lonely men

00:32:42.760 who

00:32:43.040 presumably

00:32:44.560 don't have

00:32:45.080 girlfriends

00:32:45.420 or don't care

00:32:46.060 about their

00:32:46.320 girlfriends very much

00:32:47.060 and so they're

00:32:47.460 chatting with

00:32:48.240 this phantom

00:32:49.320 of a human being

00:32:50.280 over Snapchat,

00:32:53.100 over Instagram,

00:32:53.920 DMs,

00:32:54.640 and this is how

00:32:56.780 she makes her money 1.00

00:32:58.040 and becomes popular.

00:32:59.180 But there were

00:32:59.580 too many guys,

00:33:00.300 so she just

00:33:00.740 outsourced it

00:33:01.300 to a robot.

00:33:03.320 She says,

00:33:04.460 Karen AI

00:33:04.900 is going to come

00:33:05.520 fill that gap.

00:33:06.920 She says that

00:33:07.560 Karen AI

00:33:08.100 might cure

00:33:08.880 loneliness.

00:33:10.020 Quote,

00:33:10.240 whether you need

00:33:10.740 somebody to be

00:33:11.360 comforting or loving

00:33:12.160 or you just want

00:33:13.320 to rant about

00:33:13.980 something that

00:33:14.500 happened at school

00:33:15.240 or at work,

00:33:16.240 Karen AI

00:33:16.920 will always be

00:33:17.920 there for you.

00:33:18.540 This is the saddest

00:33:19.580 thing I've read

00:33:20.680 in a very long time.

00:33:22.440 But it's working.

00:33:23.540 She thinks that

00:33:24.020 this

00:33:25.380 operation

00:33:27.660 could make her

00:33:28.420 millions of dollars

00:33:30.040 of not only a month,

00:33:32.040 maybe a week.

00:33:32.560 Who knows?

00:33:32.860 70 grand in the beta test?

00:33:34.220 That's unbelievable.

00:33:34.840 And it might.

00:33:38.560 Why does this work,

00:33:39.720 though?

00:33:39.860 It doesn't just work

00:33:41.460 because of the new

00:33:42.840 technology.

00:33:43.980 It works because of

00:33:45.140 the way society

00:33:45.980 already operates.

00:33:48.020 This is what's so

00:33:49.260 damning about the

00:33:50.180 whole thing.

00:33:50.620 This is what's so

00:33:51.180 depressing.

00:33:52.460 The reason that

00:33:53.600 this chatbot

00:33:54.480 thing works

00:33:55.440 is because the

00:33:56.680 chatbot

00:33:57.240 isn't all that

00:33:58.060 different from

00:33:58.780 regular modern

00:33:59.800 social interaction.

00:34:01.760 So much regular

00:34:03.000 modern social

00:34:03.720 interaction

00:34:04.280 is shallow,

00:34:06.520 transactional,

00:34:07.960 and virtual.

00:34:10.640 So shallow

00:34:11.800 in that

00:34:12.360 we don't

00:34:13.980 treat one another

00:34:15.960 as eternal

00:34:16.680 beings

00:34:17.340 with whom

00:34:19.060 we're endeavoring

00:34:19.900 to create a life

00:34:20.940 and to

00:34:22.100 learn something

00:34:23.420 about reality

00:34:24.220 and to build

00:34:24.960 something up together

00:34:25.800 and to have children.

00:34:26.540 No one's having

00:34:26.880 children.

00:34:27.220 No one's getting

00:34:27.560 married.

00:34:29.340 It's transactional.

00:34:30.660 The modern

00:34:31.360 dating culture

00:34:32.300 culture is a

00:34:33.900 hookup culture.

00:34:35.720 It's like out of

00:34:36.440 an Ayn Rand novel.

00:34:37.800 You don't lay down

00:34:39.980 with somebody

00:34:40.480 because you love

00:34:41.340 this person

00:34:41.860 and this person's

00:34:42.620 your spouse

00:34:42.980 and you're open

00:34:43.360 to life and you're

00:34:43.900 going to have a

00:34:44.100 big family and a

00:34:44.640 good life.

00:34:45.020 No, you just do it

00:34:45.680 because, okay,

00:34:46.240 I want to feel good

00:34:47.220 tonight and you're

00:34:48.220 reasonably pleasing to

00:34:49.360 me and hopefully

00:34:50.620 the same is true in

00:34:51.840 the other direction.

00:34:52.540 So we'll do that,

00:34:53.300 but no strings

00:34:53.840 attached, no nothing.

00:34:54.860 We certainly won't

00:34:55.440 have kids.

00:34:55.820 We won't get married.

00:34:56.720 And a lot of it's

00:34:57.280 just virtual.

00:34:58.040 My friends who were

00:34:58.740 on the dating apps,

00:34:59.440 I missed the dating

00:35:00.240 apps because sweet

00:35:01.380 little Alisa and I

00:35:02.140 got back together

00:35:02.820 just when that was

00:35:03.860 starting to come out.

00:35:04.720 So I've never been

00:35:05.340 on them.

00:35:06.360 But my friends who

00:35:06.960 were on them,

00:35:08.020 all they ever really

00:35:09.420 do is just send

00:35:10.500 messages.

00:35:11.740 Occasionally they'll

00:35:12.240 go on dates, I guess.

00:35:13.220 But those of you

00:35:15.480 who are on dating

00:35:16.020 apps know this

00:35:16.640 better than I do

00:35:17.400 secondhand.

00:35:19.300 So much of the

00:35:20.360 time you spend

00:35:20.880 with dating apps

00:35:21.380 is just on the

00:35:22.220 app, just messaging.

00:35:23.220 Even when you're

00:35:23.700 off the app,

00:35:24.120 what are you doing?

00:35:24.460 You're just texting

00:35:25.060 people.

00:35:25.620 It's all just virtual.

00:35:26.860 So what's the

00:35:27.480 difference?

00:35:27.860 When I'm in the

00:35:30.360 room with a real

00:35:30.920 human being, I can

00:35:33.440 still, today, tell

00:35:34.960 the difference between

00:35:35.400 a human being and

00:35:35.960 a robot.

00:35:37.040 But if you're just

00:35:37.560 texting with somebody,

00:35:38.840 if all you want to

00:35:39.500 do is just get your

00:35:40.300 jollies off or rant

00:35:41.500 or complain or

00:35:42.440 whatever, what is

00:35:44.580 the difference between

00:35:45.840 Karen AI and Karen

00:35:48.380 Marjorie, a 23-year-old

00:35:50.760 Snapchat girl?

00:35:52.920 Practically speaking,

00:35:53.980 there isn't one.

00:35:54.960 Now, if you're looking

00:35:56.880 for something interesting

00:35:57.880 to watch, and you

00:35:58.920 don't want to just

00:35:59.380 talk to robots all the

00:36:00.180 time, you've got to

00:36:00.660 check out our series

00:36:01.560 What We Saw, hosted

00:36:02.440 by storyteller Bill

00:36:03.320 Whittle.

00:36:03.960 Season one is focused

00:36:04.720 on Apollo 11, and now

00:36:06.160 season two of What We

00:36:06.980 Saw is in full swing.

00:36:08.020 This time, Bill paints

00:36:09.020 a bleak picture of the

00:36:10.360 growing existential threat

00:36:11.620 to America due to

00:36:13.080 Soviet Russia and Cuba.

00:36:15.320 In episode 10, we are

00:36:16.940 transported to Vietnam

00:36:18.240 and the Gulf of Tonkin,

00:36:20.420 where North Vietnamese

00:36:21.280 torpedo boats attack the 0.96

00:36:22.600 USS Maddox, plunging us

00:36:24.620 further into the Cold

00:36:25.400 War.

00:36:25.640 How big a price will

00:36:27.080 we pay in our efforts

00:36:28.140 to prevent communism

00:36:29.100 from spreading outside

00:36:30.240 of Vietnam?

00:36:31.360 Bill makes you feel

00:36:32.340 like you are there

00:36:32.920 witnessing history.

00:36:34.360 New episodes of the

00:36:35.200 Cold War come out 0.76

00:36:36.020 every week, but you've

00:36:37.620 got to be a member to

00:36:38.440 see it.

00:36:38.760 Go to dailywire.com

00:36:39.760 slash coldwar to

00:36:41.280 start watching.

00:36:43.800 My favorite comment

00:36:44.600 yesterday is from

00:36:45.080 Old Schooled.

00:36:45.840 Hey, it's been a while

00:36:46.560 since we've seen a

00:36:47.180 comment from Old

00:36:47.700 Schooled.

00:36:48.280 Comment is, it's

00:36:49.940 foolish to think that

00:36:50.720 people who are willing

00:36:51.480 to break the law in

00:36:52.400 order to enter the

00:36:53.140 country will also be

00:36:54.420 willing to follow the

00:36:55.480 law when they get

00:36:56.520 here.

00:36:57.540 So true.

00:36:58.560 I really like that

00:36:59.480 because politics is both

00:37:02.560 much more complicated than

00:37:03.860 people pretend that it is

00:37:05.700 and also paradoxically

00:37:08.020 much simpler.

00:37:09.980 There are all sorts of

00:37:10.840 details to fill in and

00:37:11.960 nuances, but it's pretty

00:37:13.500 much just that.

00:37:14.160 Ronald Reagan said it

00:37:14.960 very well.

00:37:16.200 He was asked about

00:37:16.820 illegal immigration.

00:37:17.700 He said, illegal

00:37:18.220 immigration is illegal. 0.76

00:37:19.460 It's not that

00:37:20.620 complicated.

00:37:22.280 The kind of people

00:37:23.120 that you attract when

00:37:24.840 you don't enforce the

00:37:25.740 law, they're criminals.

00:37:28.700 So you're not getting

00:37:30.540 your best.

00:37:31.200 To quote Donald Trump,

00:37:32.560 they're not sending

00:37:33.900 their best.

00:37:34.960 Okay?

00:37:36.960 Now, the most important

00:37:38.140 story of the day.

00:37:40.020 I don't want to forget

00:37:40.700 about immigration.

00:37:42.220 Forget about the

00:37:43.080 economy collapsing.

00:37:44.060 Forget about the bank

00:37:44.640 runs.

00:37:45.200 Forget about World

00:37:45.660 War III.

00:37:46.140 I want to congratulate

00:37:49.020 Miller Lite.

00:37:50.780 Miller Lite is following

00:37:53.340 its own truth.

00:37:55.420 It's going against the

00:37:57.700 conservative cancel mob.

00:37:59.800 Okay, it's standing up.

00:38:01.340 Miller Lite is at least as

00:38:05.760 gay as Bud Lite. 0.99

00:38:07.840 Take it away.

00:38:10.080 Here's a little known

00:38:11.120 fact.

00:38:11.880 Women were among the 0.88

00:38:12.780 very first to brew beer

00:38:14.180 ever.

00:38:14.640 From Mesopotamia to the 0.85

00:38:16.780 Middle Ages to colonial 0.56

00:38:17.800 America, women were the 1.00

00:38:19.380 ones doing the brewing.

00:38:20.960 Centuries later, how did

00:38:22.220 the industry pay homage to

00:38:23.660 the founding mothers of

00:38:24.620 beer?

00:38:25.180 They put us in bikinis. 0.96

00:38:28.260 Wow.

00:38:32.180 Look at this s***.

00:38:33.740 Wild.

00:38:34.760 It's time beer made it up

00:38:35.920 to women.

00:38:36.660 So today, Miller Lite is on

00:38:37.820 a mission to clean up not

00:38:38.680 just their s***, but the 0.61

00:38:39.520 whole beer industry's s***.

00:38:41.780 Miller Lite has been scouring

00:38:43.460 the internet for all this s***

00:38:44.780 and buying it back so that

00:38:46.000 they can turn it into good

00:38:47.020 s*** for women brewers. 1.00

00:38:48.780 Literally, good s***.

00:38:50.480 How, you ask?

00:38:51.760 Ladies, take it away. 1.00

00:38:53.540 First, we turn the bad s***

00:38:54.740 into compost.

00:38:55.860 Then we feed compost to

00:38:57.000 worms, pushing out beautiful

00:38:59.240 fertilizer.

00:39:01.200 That good s*** helps farmers

00:39:02.880 grow quality hops.

00:39:05.500 Which has been donated to

00:39:07.000 women brewers to make their own 1.00

00:39:08.480 really good s***. 0.87

00:39:09.720 But there's definitely more

00:39:11.080 s*** out there. 0.56

00:39:11.940 In your attic, in the garage,

00:39:13.140 in your parents' basement.

00:39:14.360 Send any s*** you got into 0.98

00:39:15.500 Miller Lite and they'll turn

00:39:16.480 that into good s*** too. 0.60

00:39:19.460 Oh.

00:39:20.520 So here's to women. 1.00

00:39:21.840 Because without us, there

00:39:23.240 would be no beer.

00:39:24.820 This is the Cleopatra of

00:39:41.380 Bud Light commercials.

00:39:42.960 This is Miller Lite is now

00:39:46.400 the Netflix of brewers.

00:39:49.600 Actually, did you know beer

00:39:51.040 was invented by women? 1.00

00:39:52.140 I mean, it wasn't, but

00:39:54.880 let's just say so.

00:39:56.960 Did you know, actually,

00:39:58.040 Cleopatra is black? 0.93

00:39:59.080 I can't wait for the next

00:40:00.180 documentary from Netflix on

00:40:02.240 George Washington starring

00:40:03.560 Spike Lee.

00:40:04.220 It's going to be really great.

00:40:07.060 So, okay, this historical claim

00:40:09.220 is that beer was invented by

00:40:11.340 women or has been produced by 1.00

00:40:12.800 women for centuries or 0.99

00:40:14.140 whatever, which is obviously

00:40:15.080 not true.

00:40:15.940 If you're going to give credit

00:40:16.600 to any group, I guess you

00:40:17.500 should give it to monks,

00:40:18.540 right?

00:40:18.740 Wasn't it the monks who really

00:40:20.560 began brewing and

00:40:21.720 popularizing beer?

00:40:22.680 Okay, fine.

00:40:24.760 Then you get to the next

00:40:25.960 level, which is, in the past,

00:40:28.600 we've sold beer by putting

00:40:30.640 pictures of pretty women in 0.80

00:40:32.780 bikinis on our advertisements. 0.78

00:40:35.100 And that was terrible.

00:40:36.320 So now we're going to put

00:40:37.520 very angry feminists wearing 1.00

00:40:40.820 very sort of frumpy clothing.

00:40:43.460 That's how we're going to sell

00:40:44.640 beer to our customer base.

00:40:45.980 That's totally going to

00:40:47.600 convince them.

00:40:48.160 And then the third part,

00:40:50.320 which irritates me, frankly,

00:40:51.620 even more than the first two,

00:40:53.000 which is women saying 1.00

00:40:56.440 that we love to say

00:41:01.360 naughty language.

00:41:02.580 You know, if I say S-H-I-T, 0.83

00:41:05.220 that's going to make me cool

00:41:07.880 and hip. 1.00

00:41:08.420 It's like all these female 1.00

00:41:09.580 comedians who just think if they

00:41:11.000 talk about their genitals and say 0.92

00:41:12.400 some four-letter words, that's a

00:41:14.000 substitute for a joke and for

00:41:16.880 comedy, it's not.

00:41:18.440 It's not at all.

00:41:19.800 Miller Lite, huh?

00:41:20.780 You know what I say?

00:41:21.540 Miller Lite and the loafers is

00:41:22.600 what they are these days.

00:41:25.720 I'll see myself out now.

00:41:26.920 Good night, everybody.

00:41:27.860 No, it's, it's, it's differently

00:41:30.680 woke than the Bud Light

00:41:31.580 commercial.

00:41:31.940 And I should point out that the

00:41:32.960 Miller Lite commercial came out

00:41:34.380 before the Bud Light commercial

00:41:36.700 and no one noticed it.

00:41:37.800 And people are only noticing it

00:41:38.940 now after the big backlash.

00:41:40.200 So I'm sure Miller executives are

00:41:41.940 doing their best to try to

00:41:43.700 downplay this commercial.

00:41:44.600 I bet it was Bud Light opposition

00:41:47.300 researchers who found this for

00:41:49.040 Miller and they're popularizing

00:41:50.220 this right now.

00:41:51.840 But it, it's differently woke.

00:41:55.340 The Bud Light commercial, the Bud

00:41:56.840 Light can with Dylan Mulvaney was

00:41:58.680 woke in that it was adopting this

00:42:01.900 radical new anthropology.

00:42:04.140 So it was positioning itself as fun

00:42:06.180 and happy and light.

00:42:08.060 With Miller, you're seeing the flip

00:42:09.960 side of wokeness.

00:42:11.300 So the flip side of liberalism,

00:42:12.360 that's all it really is, is use the

00:42:13.860 basic old word, which is that really

00:42:15.940 negative, angry side, the side of

00:42:18.260 resentment, the side with a chip on

00:42:19.700 the shoulder.

00:42:20.340 It's the same practical effect,

00:42:22.560 which is insulting the people who

00:42:24.640 actually buy these beers.

00:42:26.980 But you're seeing both sides.

00:42:29.880 There's the happy, glitzy facade and

00:42:33.060 then the underlying angry reality of it.

00:42:36.660 As I've said before, though, I'm not

00:42:38.480 worried about Miller Lite now.

00:42:40.960 Oh no, I can't drink Miller Lite.

00:42:42.300 Or oh no, I can't drink Bud Light.

00:42:44.720 Because I prefer to drink White Claw

00:42:47.380 when I'm drinking a canned alcohol.

00:42:49.560 And White Claw is already so gay that 1.00

00:42:51.780 it will never have to prove its liberal

00:42:53.740 bona fides by pandering to the Wokies 0.99

00:42:56.720 or by insulting its customer base.

00:42:58.880 Which is great.

00:42:59.400 I love that.

00:43:00.160 I get to drink my mango hard seltzer in

00:43:03.540 peace.

00:43:04.320 Speaking of the plans of the Wokies,

00:43:10.740 the revolution goes marching on.

00:43:13.020 We don't have time really to get into

00:43:14.380 this yet, so I'll just tease it.

00:43:15.780 You know, I've been teasing you for the

00:43:17.540 past week or so.

00:43:19.380 This is a headline from the New York

00:43:20.480 Times.

00:43:20.880 Why some companies are saying diversity

00:43:23.060 and belonging instead of diversity and

00:43:25.940 inclusion.

00:43:26.480 You know, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

00:43:30.200 That was, for the past five or six years,

00:43:32.540 that's been the slogan used by the

00:43:35.640 liberal apparatchiks whose job it is in

00:43:38.560 universities and companies to stir up

00:43:41.100 trouble and insult white people and

00:43:45.580 insult men and make everybody angry at

00:43:49.140 one another.

00:43:49.720 So they're changing the term as they

00:43:52.700 always change the term.

00:43:53.740 The old one is diversity and inclusion.

00:43:56.540 The new one is diversity and belonging.

00:43:58.080 The New York Times wasted so many words

00:44:00.360 explaining why this is.

00:44:01.480 I know exactly why this is.

00:44:03.300 I actually wrote a book about why this

00:44:04.320 is.

00:44:04.500 The book is called Speechless, Controlling

00:44:05.700 Words, Controlling Minds.

00:44:06.560 We'll get into that story along with

00:44:08.280 several others tomorrow.

00:44:09.900 Now, though, you can see if you're

00:44:11.820 watching the show right now, I am on

00:44:13.280 the road.

00:44:14.080 I'm very, very excited.

00:44:16.020 I'm here in sunny California.

00:44:18.680 My producer, Mr. Ben Davies, has

00:44:20.280 brought the iPad on the road, so I'll

00:44:21.620 get to chat with you in the segment.

00:44:27.780 phrase.

00:44:29.620 We've got an extra story here that

00:44:30.720 Ben Davies has picked out.

00:44:31.960 I have not read it yet, so I will

00:44:34.360 bring to bear all of my acumen, all

00:44:38.580 of my insight, and I will chat with

00:44:40.140 you.
