The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1249 - Meghan Markle Goes Full Jussie Smollett

00:00:00.000 On Tuesday, Prince and Princess Privacy, Harry and Meghan Markle claimed to have been involved

00:00:06.640 in a, quote, near catastrophic car chase at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi.

00:00:14.540 A, quote, relentless pursuit lasting over two hours, resulting in multiple near collisions

00:00:21.200 involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians, and two NYPD officers. Wow, quite the story.

00:00:30.000 I was just waiting for the part where Meghan held onto her Subway sandwich while the Nigerian 1.00

00:00:34.900 white supremacist paparazzi told her that Manhattan is MAGA country. And I was not

00:00:40.540 the only person, perhaps, to be skeptical of the story. For starters, the story resembled the car

00:00:49.480 chase that ended with the death of Harry's mother, Diana, almost perfectly. Few other facts that raised

00:00:56.240 some doubts about the Markle's claims include the testimony of the NYPD, which observed that the

00:01:03.060 couple, quote, arrived at their destination and there were no reported collisions, summonses,

00:01:07.720 injuries, or arrests. As well as the testimony of the cabbie, who said, quote, I never felt like I

00:01:13.320 was in danger. It wasn't like a car chase in a movie. As well as the fact that it's New York City,

00:01:18.820 one of the most congested places on earth where it is not possible to have a two hour or even a two

00:01:25.880 minute car chase because the traffic is always so bad. Even the liberal mayor of New York was not

00:01:32.880 buying it. I would find it hard to believe that there was a two hour high speed chase. That would be,

00:01:40.640 I find it hard to believe, but we will find out the exact duration of it.

00:01:44.760 It's a very diplomatic way of saying it's just total BS. And it's not just the Markles.

00:01:51.880 Okay. If it were just the Markles, I'd let it go. We wouldn't open the show this way,

00:01:55.860 but it's not just the Markles. It's the Markles and the media and the FBI and pretty much the whole

00:02:04.560 regime. We are ruled by a bunch of BS artists. That is the inevitable consequence of a culture

00:02:13.860 that shirks duty and favors fantasy and rejects the very notion of truth.

00:02:22.060 I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:31.140 Welcome back to the show. We've got breaking news. I don't know if you've got a push notification on

00:02:37.520 your phone. Starbucks India has gone trans. We'll get to that in just a moment to that very important

00:02:44.560 story. First though, speaking of lovebirds, did you feel it? Did the wind blow through your hair

00:02:53.660 as we slid further down that slippery slope? Because you can go over to the chalkboard,

00:03:00.100 you can put down another correct prediction for the social conservatives. We've slid further down

00:03:08.060 the slippery slope. I think the score right now is 10 bazillion to zero in terms of predictions,

00:03:12.660 but it doesn't really matter because the social conservatives continue to be right and the liberals

00:03:17.000 continue to get whatever they want. This time on polygamy and polyamory. Remember when the conservatives,

00:03:24.960 those crazy fuddy-duddy neurotic conservatives, they said when the libs were trying to redefine 0.98

00:03:32.740 marriage that if we redefine marriage to include two men and two women, that pretty soon we're going 0.99

00:03:40.380 to redefine marriage to include polygamy and polyamory. And it's going to be not just one man

00:03:46.300 and another man, but one man and three women and two billy goats and a sheep. And guess what happened?

00:03:51.800 And that's exactly what happened from the New York Times. Quote, interested in polyamory? Check out

00:03:58.800 these places. Subheader, laws granting rights to people in polyamorous relationships are being

00:04:06.440 recognized in more cities. Now to be clear, this isn't polygamy yet. This isn't redefining marriage

00:04:13.580 yet. This is the first step. This is the civil unions of orgies. Okay. The, the first step is

00:04:23.300 we're just going to give some rights. So what does it matter? Love is love. Who cares? Why are you such

00:04:27.680 a fuddy-duddy? We're not redefining marriage to include polygamy. Okay. You crazy person.

00:04:32.240 And then within a matter of years at most, we're going to start seeing these, these new rights that 0.97

00:04:40.020 we're extending to some people who are just a little bit different. That's going to be extended

00:04:44.040 to redefining marriage if it hasn't been totally abolished already. Article Jace Knight had heard

00:04:51.160 about Somerville, Massachusetts while working on a PhD at the University of Alabama in 2020.

00:04:56.560 The small city had recently passed a law granting domestic partnership rights like the ability to

00:05:04.120 receive employment benefits or make hospital visits to people in polyamorous relationships.

00:05:10.020 Mix Knight, that's what they do now instead of Mr. and Miss and Mrs. Even the feminist Ms. 1.00

00:05:17.540 Now the people who are confused about their sex, they do MX period. Mix Knight, who is non-binary and has

00:05:23.960 been non-monogamous since 2014, was impressed. In late March, Somerville passed two more laws

00:05:31.180 extending the rights of non-monogamous residents, this time banning discrimination on the basis of

00:05:37.800 family or relationship structure in city employment and housing. Similar ordinance focused on housing

00:05:43.240 is currently being discussed in Somerville City. And that's because Mix Knight has two partners and a

00:05:52.020 partner of one of those partners and the, you get the point. There are a bunch of other people like

00:05:56.900 this, a bunch of other towns doing this. It's always the same script. It's always, we just want

00:06:03.720 to visit people in the hospital. You know, you can change hospital rules, right? You don't need to

00:06:07.920 fundamentally redefine marriage and man and woman. You can just change visitation rules within the

00:06:15.160 hospitals themselves. Well, we, and we want certain non-discrimination rights. I don't know if you're

00:06:20.400 a complete degenerate who has orgies all the time and is living in this bizarre arrangement where no one 1.00

00:06:28.700 knows anybody's sex and you're all doing weird stuff all the time with multiple people. I, I feel I should 0.99

00:06:35.060 be able to discriminate against you. Discriminate meaning distinguish from one thing to another.

00:06:42.120 If I got two candidates for a job, thank goodness I'm not in the position to hire anybody or the NLRB

00:06:47.920 would probably be on my back already before the end of this show. But if I were, I'm just saying

00:06:52.980 this hypothetically in principle, if I were going to hire somebody and I wanted to hire, I don't know,

00:06:59.620 a guy to look after my house, someone to look after my kids, let's say especially, but let's say just

00:07:05.520 someone to look after my property. And I had two choices. I had a guy who was an upright family man,

00:07:11.180 married, took care of his responsibilities, you know, went to church on Sunday. So just a good,

00:07:17.640 a good guy all around. And then I've got this other guy who doesn't know that he's a guy and

00:07:22.120 who's constantly engaging in weird Bacchanals and orgies and is just so hyper-focused on sex and porn 0.99

00:07:30.440 and obscenity. That's the only thing that goes between one ear and the other. It's basically melted 0.98

00:07:34.920 his brain. Which person do you think is going to be more responsible to do the job? Which person is

00:07:40.900 going to have a better grasp on reality and morality and the way that people are supposed

00:07:47.440 to behave? But according to Somerville, Massachusetts, you're not, you're not allowed to even perceive that

00:07:55.920 distinction. Haven't we gone a little bit far? Wouldn't you say there's a little bit of drift here

00:08:03.580 from, hey, don't unjustly discriminate against the El Salvadoran over the Italian or something

00:08:11.940 versus, hey, don't discriminate between people who can't even understand the difference between men

00:08:19.220 and women to say nothing of the fundamental political structure. If you cannot discriminate 1.00

00:08:24.700 on the basis of what people think a family is, then what you're saying is you can't discriminate

00:08:33.040 on the, on the fundamental political structure because that's the basic political unit.

00:08:38.660 But the libs are discriminating. Of course the libs are discriminating. If you think that marriage is 1.00

00:08:44.020 and family is what it always has been, you're out, man. Your views are not accepted anymore.

00:08:49.840 You will be discriminated against in the culture and through the law. And what will be discriminated

00:08:57.180 for is going to be Mick's night with his 17 partners and their 22 partners and the billy goat.

00:09:05.760 Not good. Okay. It doesn't make our culture look good. Now, when you want to look good,

00:09:43.200 I purchased GenuCell as a gift for my girlfriend. She said she saw the results so fast,

00:09:47.620 her skin is noticeably softer and smoother. I can see and feel a difference too. She was already

00:09:53.160 beautiful and GenuCell has made her more beautiful. And I'll tell you, I assumed GenuCell, I figured it

00:10:29.840 K-N-O-W-L-E-S. Speaking of slippery slopes, some good news on this front. Bud Light continues to

00:10:40.540 collapse. This is now, I think, the fifth week in a row. Retail data from Bump Williams Consulting

00:10:47.580 and Nielsen IQ indicate that Bud Light sales have declined 23.6% in the week ending May 6th,

00:10:56.480 relative to the same period last year. This is an even worse decline than for the week ending

00:11:03.420 April 29th, which was an even worse decline than the week before and the week before and the week

00:11:08.320 before. Not only is Bud Light dealing with this decline in sales, but the other transizer Bush 1.00

00:11:16.420 companies are also dealing with this decline in sales. Budweiser, Bud Heavy sales have fallen

00:11:21.880 11.4% the week ending April 29th and 9.7% the week ending May 6th. Michelob Ultra fell 4.3%,

00:11:30.700 2.9% respectively. Natty Light has fallen 5.2% and 2.5% respectively. So all of those companies are

00:11:41.220 feeling the downstream effects of Bud Light and they continue to lose ground, though at least for

00:11:47.500 them it seems to be leveling off. For Bud Light, not only are they losing sales massively, it's still

00:11:55.420 getting worse. It shows no sign of letting up. Conservatives are showing no sign of giving up.

00:12:03.480 Bud Light is not the only company going pro-trans. Obviously, we'll get to Starbucks India in just a

00:12:08.000 moment. But this is a message. This to me feels a little bit different than other times that

00:12:13.760 conservatives have pushed back a little bit against the culture. And the reason for that is

00:12:18.340 that conservatives are keeping it up. I think Bud Light is just kind of done. Bud Light could fix it,

00:12:26.080 of course. Bud Light, if the CEO came out and just apologized and said, sorry, we don't support the

00:12:31.300 trans stuff. It's obviously a false anthropology. Sorry to offend you guys. Please buy our product 0.99

00:12:36.980 again. We're going to put John Wayne on the can. Forget about Dylan Mulvaney. We'll put John Wayne on

00:12:40.680 the can. I think people would go back and buy it. But Bud Light can't do it. This is the point

00:12:46.600 that I was making with ESG and DEI and the international institutions like GARM that are

00:12:56.780 partnered with the World Economic Forum, that are partnered with all of the woke asset managers

00:13:03.140 that are investing on the basis not just of what is going to increase profits to shareholders and not

00:13:08.980 just what's going to please customers, but what is going to appease the radicals who are writing these

00:13:14.560 ideological prescriptions for businesses? Bud Light is caught between a rock and a hard place

00:13:20.640 because the more they appease the radicals who write the rules for the industry and for their

00:13:27.920 company, the less the customers are going to like it. The more the customers like their product,

00:13:33.300 the less the woke-minded investors are going to like the product. So what are they going to do?

00:13:38.220 They can't apologize. If they could, they would have by now. But they feel that they cannot.

00:13:45.380 The other thing that's really great about this story and people aren't focusing on it too much

00:13:48.500 is how much this has damaged the Dylan Mulvaney brand. Yes, he's still getting partnerships. Yes,

00:13:54.120 he's still getting sponsorships. But I think companies are going to think twice now.

00:13:59.360 If one picture of this dude on one can of Bud Light was able to destroy the most popular beer in America

00:14:09.040 and conservatives are not giving up on it, that is going to make, maybe not makeup companies,

00:14:13.800 maybe not niche companies, but that is going to make normal, big, mainstream companies think twice

00:14:21.400 before giving that guy any attention or any money. And that is a very, very good thing.

00:14:28.460 We need to make this ideology. It's not that we need to make it toxic for advertisers. It is a toxic

00:14:36.560 ideology. We just need to demonstrate. We need to get it through the skulls of the advertising executives

00:14:43.280 to see how toxic the ideology of transgenderism really is. Speaking of the relationship between 0.60

00:14:51.280 leftism and business, Elon Musk continues to speak more and more clearly on political issues.

00:15:01.380 He is going after George Soros, who is one of the biggest funders of leftist causes. And he's one of

00:15:07.400 the clearest and most coherent in his radicalism. And because he's such a big hedge fund guy, he's able

00:15:14.560 to fund a lot of those issues. Not just a few bucks to Joe Biden here and there, but funding,

00:15:20.140 for instance, a plan to install radical DAs in major American cities and then not prosecute crime.

00:15:25.900 Really clever, really effective kind of left-wing activism. So because he's so effective and because

00:15:31.300 he's got such deep pockets and because he's so radical, the libs hate it when we call him out.

00:15:36.540 Elon doesn't care. Elon's going after George Soros. And the liberal establishment,

00:15:41.900 the guys on CNBC, they're begging him. They're saying, please, Elon,

00:15:45.440 please stop talking about George Soros. We don't, we don't, we can't allow you to do that.

00:15:50.940 You tweeted this thing about George Soros. Well, I'm looking for it because I want to make sure

00:15:56.240 I quote it properly. But I mean, you know what you wrote, but you basically-

00:15:59.580 I said it reminds me of my videos. It's like, you know, calm down, people. This is not like

00:16:02.960 made a federal case out of it.

00:16:04.600 You said he wants to erode the very fabric of civilization and Soros hates humanity.

00:16:10.060 Like when you do something like that, do you think about-

00:16:12.440 Yeah, I think that's true. That's my opinion.

00:16:13.840 Okay. But why share it? Why share it? Especially because, I mean,

00:16:17.320 why share it when people who buy Teslas may not agree with you? Advertisers on Twitter may not

00:16:23.320 agree with you. Why not just say, hey, I think this, you can tell me, we can talk about it over

00:16:28.840 there. You can tell your friends, but why share it widely?

00:16:31.120 I mean, this is freedom of speech. I'm allowed to say what I want to-

00:16:36.940 You absolutely are. But I'm trying to understand why you do, because you have to know it's got a,

00:16:40.840 there, it puts you in a, in the middle of a, the partisan divide in the country. It makes you

00:16:46.160 a lightning rod for criticism. I mean, do you like that? I, you know, people today saying he's an

00:16:51.560 anti-Semite. I don't think you are.

00:16:53.320 No, I'm definitely, I'm like, I'm like a pro-Semite, if anything.

00:16:58.320 That's a threat. Notice, it's not an argument. It's not that the liberal establishment typified

00:17:04.180 by that MSN or CNBC guy, they're not saying, well, here's where you were wrong on the facts,

00:17:09.480 Elon, or actually George Soros doesn't fund any left-wing causes, or actually fact check here.

00:17:15.520 No, it's not, it's not an argument. The guy's admitting, yeah, okay, fine. Your points might be true.

00:17:23.320 But why say it? Why are you saying it? Mmm, some investors might not like it if you say that.

00:17:30.580 Oh, Elon, no, look, maybe it's true, but some advertisers might not like that.

00:17:36.460 They, actually, you know what they might do? Now, I would never do this, Elon. Not me. Look,

00:17:41.220 I'm your buddy, Elon. But they might call you an anti-Semite if you keep talking out about the guys

00:17:48.940 who fund all the liberal causes. You might, anti-Sem, what the hell? Where'd you get anti-Semite 0.95

00:17:55.240 from? They might call you a racist, Elon. They might call you a bigot. Because in America, 0.83

00:18:01.340 the worst thing that you can be called is a racist. Anti-Semitism is one shade of racism.

00:18:10.600 And George Soros is Jewish, so he said, well, that's the way we're going to do it.

00:18:15.900 If George Soros, if the big funder of this particular kind of radicalism were black, he 0.90

00:18:21.540 would have said, we wouldn't want to be called an anti-black racist, would you? Or if, or it doesn't

00:18:28.040 even have to necessarily be about race. If the big funder were a homosexual, you wouldn't want to be 0.96

00:18:32.880 called a homophobe, would you? If the big funder were a transvestite, you wouldn't want to be called 0.99

00:18:38.580 a transphobe. It's just a threat. There's no argument here. He's not saying, Elon, you're wrong 0.95

00:18:43.440 on the points. He's saying, shut up or we will ruin your business and take all your money away.

00:18:50.220 And Elon, to his credit, says, okay, do your worst.

00:18:55.480 See, you just don't care.

00:18:59.860 You want to share what you have to say?

00:19:02.120 I'll say what I want to say. And if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it.

00:19:08.180 Okay.

00:19:09.980 Great answer. First of all, just tactically, I think this is a great answer even to preserve

00:19:16.560 his wealth because it shows confidence. It shows leadership. It shows a clear vision. It shows this

00:19:22.660 guy's not going to be bullied by some cable news anchor, certainly. So tactically, I think that's

00:19:30.000 very effective just from a business standpoint. But at a deeper level, Elon is totally right.

00:19:36.900 What Elon is saying here is, look, I'm the richest guy in the world. I've got all this

00:19:42.100 power. I now own one of the companies that controls speech in the public square. I'm a

00:19:47.160 powerful guy. And you're all threatening me. And you're saying, if I don't tow the line,

00:19:51.600 then you're going to try to take some of my money away. Well, if I tow the line and I don't wield my

00:19:59.320 influence and I don't get to say the basic things that I want to say, then what's it all for?

00:20:04.700 Oh, I'm the richest guy in the world. But if I don't have the ability to state my own perfectly

00:20:12.060 normal opinion, perfectly accurate opinion, as even the cable news host seems to insinuate when he

00:20:18.440 doesn't contradict him or refute him. If I don't have that right, then what good is all this money?

00:20:25.200 What good is all this power if I can't actually wield it?

00:23:09.360 Speaking of money, people who don't have money are being encouraged to kill themselves in Canada.

00:23:19.080 New poll out, this is a result of the National Post poll in Canada, shows that 28% of Canadians

00:23:27.700 approve of assisted suicide for homeless people. A fifth of respondents said that medical assistance

00:23:36.760 in dying, which is the real clinical jargony way of saying assisted suicide should be offered as an

00:23:43.580 option to anyone regardless of medical or psychological condition, but then a greater number than that,

00:23:49.880 not quite a third, but getting pretty close, said that homeless people should be permitted to kill 0.77

00:23:57.100 themselves. This always happens. I guess the theme of the show today is the slippery slope, which is 0.53

00:24:04.480 always right. And you will hear philosophers, and you will hear social scientists, and you'll hear politicians

00:24:09.640 say, oh, please, please stop making those silly slippery slope arguments. Why? I can barely make a slippery slope

00:24:16.200 argument right now because the wind is going so fast in my face. Wind's going through my hair. I'm going down that

00:24:21.180 slide so fast. This always happens. This is what happened in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, when they

00:24:27.000 legalized medical assistance in dying, known as killing troubled people, we were told this is only

00:24:35.040 for a handful of people. It's just for a handful of very, very old people who are going to die within 1.00

00:24:40.480 weeks, days, hours, and they're in such terrible pain. And I know we have palliative care, but let's

00:24:46.480 forget that for a second. That's not going to help my argument. These people, they're begging to be

00:24:51.260 released from their pain, please. As a compassionate person, you have to allow them and respect their

00:24:56.340 choice. Okay, this convinced a lot of people who didn't think too broadly about the issue.

00:25:03.520 We'll never open this up to others. And then slowly, the age requirements started being lowered.

00:25:09.780 The medical requirements started being lowered. All of a sudden, people with depression, just depression,

00:25:15.620 not terminal cancer, deeply painful, going to kill you in three days. No, no, just a little bit depressed,

00:25:21.620 you could kill yourself. Then it came for children, children under the age of 12.

00:25:28.740 Then it came for the handicapped, the disabled. Then it came for the mentally ill. Then in the 0.86

00:25:38.400 Netherlands, there was a woman who had, at an earlier stage, consented to dying. And then a doctor

00:25:44.120 came to her and said, okay, you're ready to die? Now that, you know, it's been a while, your progression,

00:25:48.700 your condition has progressed. So I think it's time for you to die. And the woman said, not yet. 1.00

00:25:55.740 And then the doctor said, nope, now's the time. And he secretly slipped her and, not an abortion,

00:26:02.700 that's another way of dying, a suicide pill in her coffee. She realized what was happening. She said, spit it out,

00:26:10.820 was fighting, was fighting back. Her family ended up holding her down as the rest of the murder continued.

00:26:17.760 In Canada now, 3.3% of Canadians die by assisted suicide. That's up in just one year. That's up by

00:26:27.220 almost 50% from something like 2.4%. You're seeing this now in the United States. You're always falling

00:26:33.260 down the slippery slope. Now we're just going to kill the homeless. Now we're just going to kill the 1.00

00:26:38.720 people who are inconvenient. They're a little bit of a burden. Oh, do you really, you've got to go visit 1.00

00:26:42.360 granny on Saturday? Can't we just get this over with? That's what happens. That's what happens to 1.00

00:26:48.160 a society that doesn't have a principle to hold on to. Something tangible. To bring it back to the

00:26:55.720 marriage example, if marriage is a discreet thing, if marriage is the union of a man and a woman for the

00:27:02.900 sake of the generation and education of children, if marriage is what it has always been, then we have 0.98

00:27:08.660 marriage. But if we can just pull away at that bedrock, moral, anthropological principle,

00:27:17.060 then marriage can be whatever the radicals want it to be. If we can pull away at the commandment,

00:27:25.780 thou shalt not commit murder. If we can pull away at the aspect of natural law, which tells us about

00:27:35.900 our obvious right and inclination to preserve ourselves, the radicals can redefine whatever

00:27:44.040 they want. Speaking of homeless people, or people seeking new homes, the numbers are in on Biden's

00:27:51.640 migrant surge. And according to Alejandro Mayorkas and the DHS, there was a record inflow on May 17th

00:28:03.700 during the month. During all of this time, we've got 137,374 migrants admitted. And then on top of

00:28:18.180 that, you had roughly 40,000 new migrants through the border in the days just before May 11th. The

00:28:25.480 April inflow exceeded 135,211 migrants who were admitted in April of 2022. Compare that all to

00:28:35.360 Donald Trump. You see the numbers going up under Biden, especially in the last couple of weeks.

00:28:39.620 But what does that mean? Is it up 5%, 10%, 20%? Joe Biden's April 2023 inflow is 87 times as many

00:28:51.940 migrants as many migrants as many migrants as many migrants as many migrants as were admitted into the

00:28:54.080 country on Trump's watch in April 2020. It's not 20% higher, 50% higher, 100% higher, 200% higher, 300%,

00:29:05.720 400%, 500%. It's 87 times higher. Since January of 2021, when Joe Biden took office, the Biden administration

00:29:16.920 has admitted roughly four and a half million migrants across the southern border. We lose 1.00

00:29:23.120 sight of the scale of this stuff. So we think, okay, the libs get elected and things get a little

00:29:28.620 bit worse. The conservatives get elected, things get a little bit better. That totally denies the

00:29:36.180 radical difference in scale. There is a difference in degree to the migration problem that almost seems

00:29:42.520 to be a difference in kind. If you're talking about 87 times the number of people, that's very,

00:29:47.800 very different. Joe Biden gets elected. We don't have a border. Donald Trump gets elected. We overturn

00:29:54.540 Roe v. Wade and save hundreds of thousands of babies' lives per year. Those are very significant

00:29:59.260 differences. In the past, it used to be, okay, one guy's got a red tie, one guy's got a blue tie.

00:30:05.600 Whoever gets elected, nothing really changes all that much. But we're living in a much more polarized

00:30:09.140 time. We're living in a time when people don't know what marriage is, when people don't know what

00:30:13.160 an American is, when people don't know what men and women are, okay? And so just necessarily the

00:30:20.500 swings that are going to occur when one party gets elected or the other party gets elected are going

00:30:26.460 to be much, much greater. Even with the bureaucracy and other power centers in our society not shifting

00:30:33.640 based on those elections, even though it's just the elected government and some of the appointed

00:30:37.080 officials who shift, the less your society agrees on basic stuff, the wider the swings are going to be

00:30:44.540 and the less social order and stability you are going to have. Speaking of lawlessness,

00:30:50.940 the Supreme Court right now is going to determine the fate of the abortion pill in the U.S. 0.93

00:30:58.940 Here is what New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has to say about the prospect of regulating a pill that

00:31:05.400 kills babies. If you get a bulk order of Mifepristone, would you be then prescribing it out in defiance of

00:31:16.480 the Supreme Court? To be determined. But when I say everything is on the table, Katie, I mean that.

00:31:24.780 I think when you've got, this is going to cost this action generally, whether it's Mifepristone or whether

00:31:31.000 it's North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, by the way, at six weeks. My wife and I don't think

00:31:36.000 that we knew we were pregnant with any of our four kids at six weeks. So people need to understand

00:31:42.920 that. But this is going to cost people's lives. It's going to cost them health. It's also going to

00:31:48.620 cost people's lives, women in particular, sadly. And so if that's what's at stake,

00:31:54.060 we'll do whatever it takes to save lives. People's lives obviously are at stake when we're

00:32:00.500 talking about a drug that kills babies. People's lives are always at stake when women take drugs 1.00

00:32:05.920 that can kill their babies. That's why it's being litigated. So it's not actually at the level of

00:32:10.140 the Supreme Court yet. It's now just being litigated before federal court in Louisiana. It seems like it's

00:32:15.180 going to make it all the way up there. And what does the New Jersey governor say? The New Jersey

00:32:20.020 governor says, okay, let's say that in the future, the Supreme Court makes its decision.

00:32:24.340 Let's see them enforce it. What the New Jersey governor is saying is I will engage in an

00:32:30.040 insurrection. That's what it means. What's an insurrection? Insurrection is a violent uprising

00:32:35.000 against the established political order. And what this guy is talking about is violent because

00:32:40.980 the very act of taking this drug involves killing somebody, killing the type of person who is the most

00:32:48.980 innocent person in society. Little tiny baby. That's what the libs are saying. That's a different 0.98

00:32:56.700 kind of insurrection than the one we saw on January 6th. Sorry. January 6th, the worst day in the history

00:33:06.420 of our country. Because on that day, which we're told it's the most violent, horrific, blood-soaked day

00:33:12.300 in history. On that day, some guy from Florida took a selfie sipping a Coors Light in the Capitol

00:33:16.940 rotunda, and another guy waved at a camera while holding Nancy Pelosi's lectern. And the only person

00:33:23.140 who was killed was one of the Trump supporters killed by a trigger-happy cop. And in this case,

00:33:28.320 we're talking about the governor of New Jersey saying that the Supreme Court of the United States 0.71

00:33:34.720 can go to hell. They're going to keep killing babies willy-nilly, send in the feds. 1.00

00:33:39.920 The insurrection, much, much more intense on the liberal side, as it always is, as we saw during BLM,

00:33:45.860 as we see with leftist violence around the country. That is not conducive to civil order

00:33:54.160 and political flourishing. But we know this, speaking of political lawlessness. What did we

00:33:59.820 get this week? We got the Durham investigation, which shows that not only was there no basis for

00:34:05.240 the government to spy on Donald Trump's presidential campaign, not only was there no basis for the entire

00:34:10.780 liberal establishment, including the media, to go after Trump as a Putin stooge for years and years and

00:34:15.360 try to undermine not only his election, but also his presidential administration. But we found out

00:34:21.160 this week that the CIA director was in on it, the FBI director was in on it, the vice president was in

00:34:25.980 on it, the vice president who is now the president of the United States, Joe Biden, and the president

00:34:30.100 himself, Barack Obama. They were all in on it. So one of the top dog Democrats to push the Russia 0.67

00:34:37.240 nonsense was this guy Adam Schiff, this congressman from California. Here I am in California right now in

00:34:42.860 Mussolini's hellscape. Adam Schiff, maybe not even so far down the street. And what is his answer

00:34:49.520 on being shown to be a complete liar on the Russia hoax? Here's what he has to say.

00:34:57.860 This is an investigation that started in a flawed manner. It was conducted in a flawed manner,

00:35:03.240 and its conclusion is a flawed conclusion. It began in a flawed way because this was the result

00:35:12.040 of Donald Trump badgering Bill Barr to investigate the investigators. So it was brought really with

00:35:18.080 no predicate, except this is what Donald Trump was demanding, and this is what Bill Barr wanted to

00:35:23.120 have undertaken. So we have four years of wasted effort. And worse than that, we have four years,

00:35:29.960 I think, of undermining the department in a political prosecution.

00:35:35.500 Adam Schiff, I don't think he's Italian, but he's clearly learned a lesson from those New York

00:35:40.800 Italians on the other side of the country. Deny till you die. That's his answer. 1.00

00:35:47.600 Congressman Schiff, what do you make of the fact that this long, years-long investigation into the

00:35:52.240 origins of the Russia investigation showed that it was all fake, and it was all cooked up,

00:35:59.220 and we have on the record the biggest leaders in your party and in the government cooking it all up?

00:36:06.480 I suppose my answer to that would be, la, la, la, la, la, can't hear you. La, la, la, la, la,

00:36:13.660 that's his answer. His answer, oh, the special counsel investigation? Yeah, it was always flawed.

00:36:18.200 It's fake. Don't look here. Nothing to see here. Move along, move along. And this is actually the

00:36:24.040 best shot that Democrats have, I think, of getting past the Durham report. The best shot they have

00:36:31.100 of maintaining their political influence and not seeing the pendulum shift back a little bit

00:36:38.100 is just to say, oh, yeah, it's fake. That Durham report, yeah, no, it's fake. John Durham, he's bad.

00:36:42.840 Don't trust him. It's all, nope. Don't believe your lying eyes. They can't apologize. They actually

00:36:50.560 can't apologize according to their premises in politics. And the reason they can't apologize

00:36:57.720 is because apologies and grace presuppose a shared theology. If we had a shared religious view in the

00:37:06.920 United States, as we had from our founding long before the 1776 founding up through just a few

00:37:13.780 decades ago, if we had that shared religion, a politician could come out and say, hey, I'm sorry,

00:37:18.740 I got this wrong. Please forgive me. I'll try to do better next time. And the politician would

00:37:24.820 have had a shot of surviving. We now live in an age where much of the country views itself as

00:37:30.900 post-Christian, which there's no such thing as post-Christian. That just means not Christian. 0.80

00:37:36.860 And so in that kind of culture, there is no grace. There is no mercy. There is no forgiveness.

00:37:43.980 Adam Schiff knows if he admits that he was wrong in any way, he's done. He's toast. It's like

00:37:48.560 Kevin Spacey. It's like any of the Me Too movement people. The ones who in any way acknowledged that

00:37:56.320 they did something wrong, which is, I don't know, every single person in Hollywood. But the ones who

00:38:00.980 admitted that, their careers were over. And the ones who just stuck by their story and they denied,

00:38:07.580 they're the ones who got to survive. I'll give you a little tease for tomorrow because I want to get to

00:38:11.400 the most important story, which is Starbucks India transing everybody. But just a little tease.

00:38:16.740 We got some polls out on 2024.

00:38:22.240 President Covfefe, who we were told could never possibly win re-election. Donald Trump,

00:38:26.720 he's just going to drive us all off a cliff. His numbers are looking pretty great. I'll just leave

00:38:32.560 it there with that because I want to get to a much more important story than who is the president of

00:38:36.180 the United States. I want to get to transvestites in India. My favorite comment yesterday is from 1.00

00:38:43.920 K2BNY, who says, I thought the Libs' favorite talking point was incoherent screaming. 1.00

00:38:50.800 It is. You're right. The most articulate spokesman for the Libs in recent years was that lady right

00:38:56.440 after Trump got elected the first time, who was staring at the sky and she was screaming,

00:39:01.060 no, no. So you're right. That is their favorite talking point. Okay, Starbucks, what are you selling me?

00:39:14.060 We've got a dad. He's calling his son Arpit. He's looking kind of irritated.

00:39:20.380 His mama. He's looking over it. Her husband. Just listen. Don't get angry this time, please.

00:39:28.460 And in walks a woman. Wait a second. That woman looks a little weird. 1.00

00:39:33.360 That woman kind of looks like that dude that the dad was just calling. 1.00

00:39:38.100 And then, wait a second. That woman, she's got kind of broad shoulders. 0.96

00:39:42.380 I know it's been years.

00:39:43.380 I know it's been years. But you still mean the world to me.

00:39:52.540 And then dad is there.

00:39:55.600 Equally, he misses his son.

00:39:57.060 Coffee.

00:39:58.020 Even if his son's wearing a dress.

00:40:01.100 Three cold coffees for Arpita.

00:40:02.500 Did you want coffee?

00:40:05.160 Three coffees for Arpita.

00:40:07.520 Three cold coffees for Arpita.

00:40:08.620 Arpita is the man's name, you see.

00:40:11.280 But Arpita is the girl's name.

00:40:13.380 And the dad says, for me, you're still my kid.

00:40:17.640 Only a letter has got added to your name.

00:40:24.340 Some got subtracted too, by the way.

00:40:26.640 That's the grislier part.

00:40:28.900 Letter was added.

00:40:29.840 So we had one letter added.

00:40:31.460 And then we had some other body parts subtracted.

00:40:34.820 So on the whole, same person.

00:40:36.380 Okay.

00:40:37.580 Okay.

00:40:38.220 Starbucks India.

00:40:38.900 I'd be curious to see what kind of commercials Starbucks Pakistan is putting out.

00:40:44.740 Do you think Starbucks Pakistan is putting out the pro-trans commercials?

00:40:48.980 I'm a little bit skeptical of that.

00:40:50.780 But in the West and in more pro-Western countries, even in the subcontinent, in India, you see this pro-trans propaganda.

00:41:02.800 The most jarring part of this commercial to me is this man who now thinks he's a woman saying, hey, dad, I know it's been years.

00:41:13.260 I know it's been years.

00:41:16.600 What does that mean?

00:41:17.720 Does it mean this guy hasn't talked to his father for years?

00:41:21.220 I don't care what dress you're wearing or what delusions you're entertaining.

00:41:26.120 That's wrong.

00:41:27.020 That's not a nice thing to do.

00:41:29.440 It's not a nice thing to just not talk to your father for years.

00:41:32.360 So the father here, you really feel for the guy because he's sitting there. 0.92

00:41:37.580 His son is engaging in bizarre deviant and destructive sexual behavior. 0.62

00:41:43.980 But he loves his son and he wants to have a relationship with his son. 0.95

00:41:47.080 So he says, okay, I guess I have to lie.

00:41:49.740 I guess the only option I'm left with right now that this culture is leaving me with is I've got to just lie and go tell the barista to get me three coffees for Arpita. 0.91

00:41:59.040 Okay, and now I lied and now my son will accept me again and now we can all sit and talk.

00:42:05.740 It is so sad.

00:42:08.620 It reminds me of that clip from Family Guy where Quagmire's dad is a transvestite and he's sitting in a bar and the bartender comes up and says, excuse me, ma'am, you can't look at pornography on your phone at the bar.

00:42:22.760 It's just there. 0.96

00:42:23.500 He's just watching porn at the bar.

00:42:24.840 So you can't do that.

00:42:25.720 We don't allow that at this bar. 0.98

00:42:26.820 And then Quagmire's dad, who is dressed like a woman, he says, no, no, no, you don't understand.

00:42:31.200 I'm trans.

00:42:32.800 And then the bartender says, oh, okay, in that case, do whatever you want.

00:42:36.340 You can just do whatever you want and you'll never be held accountable for anything because you have a delusional perception of yourself.

00:42:43.460 Okay, that's fine.

00:42:46.600 That's where we are.

00:42:47.620 As though, if you can claim this defect of perception, then you can get away with anything.

00:42:56.020 You can get away with murder, okay?

00:42:59.140 In the eyes of the media, you literally can get away with murder.

00:43:01.820 That seems wrong, doesn't it?

00:43:06.620 In the old culture, what we would have done is we would have said, hey, Arpita, no, you're a man.

00:43:17.740 And no, I know you're doing bad things and you've done some bad things in part because of your defect of perception.

00:43:23.200 So we're going to fix your perception.

00:43:24.480 And in our modern culture, what do we do?

00:43:28.420 We say, if you want to be a good person, you want to get along in society at all, you want to be allowed to function even according to the law, you just have to lie.

00:43:37.980 Write Arpita on the cup of coffee and then you're fine.

00:43:42.060 Also, in more trans pop culture news, because even as the people recoil against transgenderism, even as Pew Research shows that 60% of Americans recognize that transgenderism is fake, 0.54

00:43:53.560 even as Bud Light continues to lose market cap and sales, even still, companies are peddling transgenderism because the ideologues who hold on to the purse strings, they continue to push it.

00:44:09.520 Now, for a pride ad, some dudes are modeling women's bathing suits for Adidas.

00:44:15.880 Okay, you get the picture.

00:44:17.800 We don't need to see any more.

00:44:19.020 I've seen enough.

00:44:20.300 I've seen enough.

00:44:21.020 I'm not even totally opposed, in theory, to men wearing bathing suits that look somewhat like this, because that's what men did in the 1920s in, like, really old-timey beach bathing suits.

00:44:33.060 But they shouldn't be wearing these kind of thong-like bathing suits.

00:44:35.420 It should be, like, full-body bathing suits, like the burkini almost, but for men. 1.00

00:44:39.840 I could understand that.

00:44:41.040 That's not what's going on here.

00:44:42.040 The suits are stylized to be as womanly as possible, and then the dudes who are being picked to model them are fairly masculine.

00:44:53.360 These are intentionally masculine-looking dudes, and it's just to shove it in your face.

00:44:59.280 It's just to beat you down into submission. 0.95

00:45:01.920 The purpose of these commercials is not, as the transgenderists would pretend, to convince you that these dudes are actually chicks. 0.97

00:45:08.500 The purpose of these commercials is to shove right in your face that these are dudes. 0.52

00:45:13.540 They are so obviously dudes, and to force you to lie.

00:45:17.300 And they say this is all for Pride Month.

00:45:19.280 Here we go.

00:45:20.060 We got another month.

00:45:21.020 I told you.

00:45:21.820 You know I hate to say I told you so.

00:45:23.580 You know those slippery slope fallacies.

00:45:25.740 They're always so fallacious.

00:45:27.140 But what happened?

00:45:28.120 Back when Pride Day was a day, we all said, you know, this is going to spread. 0.98

00:45:33.620 And then Pride Day became Pride Week, and then Pride Week became Pride Month, and that was the month of June.

00:45:39.040 But June wasn't enough.

00:45:40.900 So then the LGBT LMNOP people, they took October.

00:45:47.140 October became LGBT History Month. 0.68

00:45:50.400 So now that meant that the LGBT movement had one-sixth of the calendar year.

00:45:55.380 But I don't know if you've checked your calendars recently.

00:45:57.440 It's not June yet.

00:45:58.420 It's May.

00:45:59.580 It's mid-May.

00:46:00.700 And we're already seeing all of the Pride stuff, which means that the LGBT LMNOP, they have colonized one quarter of the year.

00:46:08.740 And they are showing no signs of stopping.

00:46:11.700 We are headed toward Pride year.

00:46:13.520 We are headed toward Pride perpetuity.

00:46:16.760 That's where we are.

00:46:17.980 Get your bathing suits ready, fellas. 1.00

00:46:21.320 Now, we've got a lot more show coming up.

00:46:23.240 But this is only for the crème de la crème.

00:46:24.980 This is only for the inner circle of people.

00:46:26.960 Not you hoi polloi out there on YouTube and elsewhere.
