Ep. 1278 - Libs Accidentally Admit I Was Right
Summary
A new study out of Denmark has shown that people who identify as transgender are significantly more likely to kill themselves than people who don t. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? And what should we do about it?

A new study out of Denmark has shown that people who identify as transgender
00:00:42.040
are significantly more likely to kill themselves than people who don't.
00:00:48.560
Even the liberal New York Times is admitting as much.
00:00:54.020
They've got a whole article on it, and then they've got this little infographic.
00:00:56.980
And the infographic says, transgender people in Denmark had 7.7 times the rate of suicide
00:01:03.480
attempts and three and a half times the rate of suicide deaths compared with the rest of
00:01:10.880
So on the one hand, liberals tell us that transgender identity makes people suicidal.
00:01:16.120
On the other hand, liberals insist that we must, at every level of society, especially
00:01:27.540
As a result of this activism, rates of trans identity are skyrocketing as a social contagion
00:01:33.320
on the premise that trans affirmation is supposedly life-saving, even though it makes people 7.7
00:01:45.680
But if the study is true, and if the New York Times reporting is accurate, then we obviously
00:01:55.060
If the new study is true, and if the Times report is accurate, then to quote somebody that I like to
00:02:02.240
quote, for the good of society, and especially for the good of the poor people who have fallen
00:02:07.180
prey to this confusion, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely, the
00:02:15.400
I'm really glad to see that the New York Times and the liberals generally are finally accidentally

We've got a really, really important clip of Joe Biden rambling incoherently that we'll
00:02:51.420
But I don't want to move too fast off this trans thing.
00:02:54.520
I'm certain I'll be censored for it on at least one of the big tech platforms.
00:02:58.300
But I don't want to pass over it because the libs gave me such grief over my CPAC speech.
00:03:11.260
They said it was terrible, a genocide, that transgenderism is a wonderful condition and
00:03:16.860
an ideology that needs to be encouraged and embraced and spread everywhere, especially
00:03:22.640
I said, not only for the good of society generally, but especially for the good of people who fall
00:03:30.180
That's why it's got to be eradicated from public life.
00:03:32.580
The Times admitting right here that if you identify as transgender, you are much, much,
00:03:38.540
much, much, much, much, much more likely to try to kill yourself.
00:03:44.720
And the rejoinder to this that the liberals will offer falls flat too because the liberals
00:03:49.320
will say, well, no, transgender identity isn't really skyrocketing.
00:03:54.340
Transgender dysphoria isn't really skyrocketing.
00:03:56.860
It's just that people are more open about it now.
00:03:58.600
But if that's true, then why is the suicide rate jumping up so fast?
00:04:01.440
If that's true, then the suicide attempt and success rate of people who identify as transgender
00:04:10.540
would not be so much higher than the general population because presumably all these supposedly
00:04:14.880
transgender people would have already been counted among that suicide rate for the general
00:04:19.500
They would have just been hiding their identity.
00:04:22.880
There's something about this particular expression and identity and ideology that makes people
00:04:30.220
over seven and a half times more likely to try to kill themselves.
00:04:35.400
If there were any other condition in society that made people over seven and a half times
00:04:40.180
more likely to try to kill themselves, we would have a national and international campaign
00:04:44.020
to blot that condition, that ideology out of public life, to cure people of that condition,
00:04:49.640
to disabuse them of the notions that lead to that condition.
00:04:53.060
But for some reason with transgenderism, we encourage it and then people kill themselves
00:05:01.380
Unfortunately, it's happening even in my own state of Tennessee.
00:05:04.240
So, you know, we had this law here in Tennessee that bans kids from, bans parents from transing
00:05:11.820
And this law was passed by the Republicans in the state ledge and signed into law by the
00:05:16.880
That was after Matt held a big rally to end child mutilation.
00:05:21.580
That was after Daily Wire reporting uncovered that there was a trans child clinic here in
00:05:28.600
And that was after a buddy of mine actually mentioned this to me, who's a local Nashville
00:05:32.420
guy and who was leading a weekly rosary over there, very quietly praying.
00:05:36.420
And then in short order led to that clinic being shut down.
00:05:39.840
Well, now a federal judge says, sorry, you can't ban transing the kids.
00:05:46.440
A federal judge has just said this guy's name is Eli Richardson.
00:05:49.760
He placed a temporary injunction against the ban on giving kids cross-sex hormones and puberty
00:05:54.980
blockers because they say that the puberty blockers and the cross-sex hormones are life-saving
00:06:05.740
But again, we know here by the studies and by the reporting and by plain old common sense
00:06:13.680
They're permanently life-altering and they're life-destroying ultimately to the tune of seven
00:06:22.020
So he blocked this, much of this law, though not all of it.
00:06:27.160
And he says, if Tennessee wishes to regulate access to certain medical procedures, it must
00:06:31.060
do so in a manner that does not infringe on the rights conferred by the U.S.
00:06:33.760
Constitution, which is, of course, supreme to all other laws of the land.
00:06:37.260
With regard to the anti-transing the kids law, Tennessee has likely failed to do just this.
00:06:45.120
Does anybody believe that the framers of the Constitution established this framework for
00:06:52.100
our government in order to protect parents and quack doctors' supposed right to chop off
00:07:00.020
their kids' body parts and pump them full of cross-sex hormones?
00:07:02.140
Does anybody seriously believe that the right of a child to pretend to be the opposite sex
00:07:09.500
and to sterilize himself and to castrate himself to more closely appear to be the opposite sex
00:07:20.080
The liberals just don't care what the Constitution actually says.
00:07:22.960
And the squishy conservatives go along with it in this extraordinarily too clever by half
00:07:29.800
kind of a way where they'll say, well, actually, when you take into account all of these other
00:07:33.640
laws that have come since and these revisions to the Constitution and past court precedent,
00:07:37.560
and when you look at the Civil Rights Act and you see that actually protections on the
00:07:41.800
basis of sex are sort of, can kind of be interpreted as protections for gender identity, then
00:07:51.160
And this shows you that what the federal judge said here is not true.
00:07:54.260
The federal judge said that the U.S. Constitution trumps all the other laws of the land.
00:08:00.680
Liberalism trumps all of the laws of the land, including the U.S. Constitution.
00:08:12.180
Liberalism trumps the natural law in our nation today.
00:08:16.480
Judges have been doing this for a very long time.
00:08:19.460
And especially when it comes to weird sex stuff and especially when it comes to kids.
00:08:22.740
Back in the 90s, the Democrats and the Republicans agreed, not on very much, but they agreed on
00:08:27.760
one thing, that we need to stop exposing kids to weird sex stuff, especially as the internet
00:08:34.140
The Communications Decency Act, which is now the subject of a lot of fights over big tech
00:08:38.100
censorship, because of one of the provisions that gives big tech today some kinds of legal
00:08:44.640
That's called Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
00:08:47.360
But the CDA is not really about protecting big tech special privileges.
00:08:55.260
It was about regulating obscenity and prurient content and pornography on the internet.
00:09:00.040
And there was another law, which is called the Child Online Protection Act, COPA.
00:09:04.560
Democrats and Republicans agree to pass this stuff.
00:09:09.780
No one thinks that we should be exposing kids to this nonsense and this obscenity, except
00:09:15.060
for liberal federal judges who insist, no, actually, when you really think about it, when
00:09:19.840
you really think about what James Madison was doing, he wanted to protect the right of
00:09:27.400
Now, there's another attempt to pass a version of the Child Online Protection Act.
00:09:32.520
And I bet some pervert federal judge is going to strike that one down, too.
00:09:41.940
And the ideological perversion is based on a revisionist history that began after the
00:09:47.240
Second World War and was embraced not only by the liberals, but by the conservatives.
00:09:50.700
And the revisionist history said that America has always been a liberal democracy, not a nation
00:09:56.180
state, not a country founded on the worship of God, not a Christian nation, all of which
00:10:02.580
were different understandings of what America was before 1940s, 1950s.
00:10:08.940
But in that era, they said, no, it's a liberal democracy founded not on any particular claims
00:10:13.800
or a particular God, but on just abstract, universal concepts of liberalism and doing
00:10:22.940
But unfortunately, a lot of conservatives bought it, too.
00:10:25.040
And that's become the highest law of the land, which brings us to our old pals at Transheiser
00:10:31.180
The CEO of Transheiser Bush was just asked if after the company has been decimated by the
00:10:40.600
conservative boycott, if after they've lost billions of dollars in market cap, if after
00:10:49.000
the number one beer in America, Bud Light has now lost its place to Modelo Especial in
00:10:54.380
America, if the CEO of Transheiser Bush had it to do over again, would he have sponsored
00:11:01.320
Dylan Mulvaney, a particularly offensive and egregious exemplar and actor in the performance
00:11:14.620
Knowing what you know now, if you could go back, would you send this can to this one person
00:11:19.180
There's a big social conversation taking place right now, and big brands are right
00:11:31.620
And so for us, what we need to understand is, deeply understand and appreciate, is the
00:11:35.900
consumer and what they want, what they care about, and what they expect from big brands.
00:11:45.380
You know, Bud Light has supported LGBTQ since 1998, so that's 25 years.
00:11:52.320
And as we've said from the beginning, we'll continue to support the communities and organizations
00:11:58.060
But as we move forward, you know, we want to focus on what we do best, which is brewing
00:12:02.840
great beer for everyone, listening to our consumers, being humble and listening to them,
00:12:07.600
making sure that we do right by our employees, take care and support our partners, and ultimately
00:12:14.360
make an impact in the communities that we serve.
00:12:22.360
Because, and you know, I hate to say I told you so, but as I have said from the beginning,
00:12:27.980
don't celebrate the firing of that random VP of marketing.
00:12:32.080
Many other conservatives bought the PR crisis communications line, which is that, oh, the
00:12:37.160
senior executives at Bud Light, they had no idea what was going on.
00:12:43.340
No, Bud Light, it's kind of a conservative company.
00:12:51.540
This was a decision made from the very tippy top of Transheiser Bush.
00:12:56.040
Let some poor marketing VP take the fall for it.
00:12:59.760
This dude today will not say that it was a bad idea.
00:13:03.640
This marketing decision that irritated the customer base of Bud Light so much that it's
00:13:08.640
destroyed the brand of the number one beer in America, has killed the stock price of
00:13:13.240
AB InBev, he still today won't say it was a bad idea because he is more interested in
00:13:19.640
appeasing his woke overlords at the big asset managers, BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard.
00:13:25.180
He's more interested in appeasing the liberal decision makers, all of whom are behind
00:13:31.360
transgenderism, than he is in serving his customer base.
00:13:34.520
Now, speaking of weird sex stuff, there's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of stuff
00:13:42.420
that I'm not allowed to talk about on YouTube anymore.
00:13:44.360
So if you watch this show on YouTube, you've got to head on over sometimes to hear the
00:13:48.520
first, I don't know, the first 10 minutes of my show, you got to head on over to Daily
00:13:51.640
Wire Plus, where you got to go to M. Knowles Show at Twitter.
00:13:56.160
Or you got to go to the RSS feed at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts.
00:14:01.320
But there are certain weird sex stuff that, at least for now, I think we're still allowed
00:14:07.200
That would be weird sex stuff involving Hunter Biden.
00:14:17.460
A real deep scandal of public interest, not just drugs and hookers and that kind of stuff,
00:14:22.220
but something that really gets to the corruption of his family and his father.
00:14:24.800
But first, I've gone a little lighter on Hunter Biden than a number of conservatives have.
00:14:31.860
They just hammer every picture, every crack pipe falling out of his mouth, every hooker
00:14:37.000
he's videoing himself with, and they're making fun of his drug addiction.
00:14:41.080
And I've tried not to do that because I don't think that people ought to be judged for the
00:14:45.540
bad stuff that they used to do, especially if they've cleaned themselves up.
00:14:54.600
All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
00:14:59.420
I've got plenty of friends who have been addicts and drunks and everything.
00:15:02.240
So I'm not going to really hit him too much for that.
00:15:05.320
I don't think people should be judged for the terrible things they used to do.
00:15:08.240
I think that they should be judged for the terrible things that they're doing right now
00:15:20.980
Forget about the hookers and the drugs and everything.
00:15:23.060
What this guy is doing right now, he took his baby mama, London Roberts, to court to try
00:15:28.820
to reduce the child support payments that he is sending to his daughter, Navy.
00:15:33.940
He has this daughter, Navy, that he will not acknowledge.
00:15:40.920
And her grandfather is the president of the United States.
00:15:45.220
And her grandfather, Joe Biden, oh, good old nice guy Joe, that devout Catholic Joe Biden,
00:15:53.160
This little girl's grandmother or step-grandmother, Dr. Jill Biden, oh, sweet old Dr. Jill, who
00:16:04.200
They put up stockings at the White House of all the Biden grandkids, except for one.
00:16:08.140
And then this dirtbag, Hunter Biden, goes into court, says, I want to pay my baby mama significantly
00:16:14.980
This is a guy who's shaken down every corrupt oligarch around the world, in Ukraine, in
00:16:20.000
This guy is a guy who's made millions and millions of dollars, tens of millions of dollars.
00:16:24.760
And he won't pay child support to, or he won't pay a serious amount of child support
00:16:30.720
And then he, in court, tries to insist that his own daughter isn't allowed to use his last
00:16:36.980
name, that they've got to change the little girl's last name or stop her from using the
00:16:48.940
And it's from Hunter Biden, who I guess we expect that from, this idea that Hunter, he's
00:16:54.120
cleaned up, you know, the support of a loving father, that really got him over his addiction.
00:16:59.260
And he's doing something worse today than anything he's done in the past, which is hurt his little
00:17:07.040
And this is exactly what the Millstone verse of the Bible is about.
00:17:10.700
And Hunter's dirtbag father, Joe Biden, is doing virtually the same thing.
00:17:16.520
As president, imagine you're a little girl, you're four years old, you're starting to become
00:17:19.540
kind of conscious, you're starting to be aware of things.
00:17:22.100
And what you are told every single day is that your father hates you and your grandfather,
00:17:27.780
the president of the United States, hates you too, because you're not good enough to be
00:17:30.820
In fact, they're going to take you to court so that you can't use their last name, which
00:17:34.480
is your last name, because you're their daughter and granddaughter.
00:17:41.320
And Hunter doesn't get nearly enough grief for this.
00:17:43.680
And Joe Biden doesn't get enough grief for this either.
00:17:46.580
Yeah, Hunter engaged in all sorts of colorful, awful behavior.
00:17:53.820
And yeah, he's a corrupt public official, or he's the corrupt son of a public official
00:17:59.800
and seems to be the bag man for the whole Biden family.
00:18:03.440
And it's kind of run of the mill corruption at a much grander scale than we've seen before.
00:18:11.920
Him, the Biden family acting like a mafia family going around and shaking down corrupt
00:18:17.600
people around the world, selling American influence.
00:18:25.540
You think about that four-year-old girl whose father and grandfather hate her so much that
00:18:31.660
they'll take her to court to avoid acknowledging her.
00:18:35.300
Just disgusting stuff from an absolutely disgusting family that should change their behavior as
00:18:42.080
But there is an aspect of public corruption here too, which is that we got another Hunter
00:18:48.000
So you had that first one, which was Hunter Biden shaking down a Communist Party of China
00:18:52.860
affiliated business executive and saying, hey, send me money.
00:19:04.360
And we'll be the influence of the United States if you don't send us a payoff now.
00:19:07.640
And the Biden camp, the White House, is insisting that these were just the rantings
00:19:13.080
of an addict who was lying, who was desperate, you know, trying to compare Hunter Biden to
00:19:18.840
some junkie on the street who goes and steals his grandma VCR or something like that.
00:19:23.120
You know, a guy who's just lying and making things up.
00:19:25.320
Even though you read the texts, they're pretty specific.
00:19:28.220
They seem fairly lucid for a guy who's smoking a bunch of crack and in throes of addiction.
00:19:33.240
Well, now we got a second text asking for 10 million bucks from a CCP-linked associate.
00:19:39.820
And, you know, if this guy just put down all the stuff that was bad for him, and if he
00:19:44.580
had just started consuming things that were really good for him, he would have had a much
00:19:48.640
He would have been consuming good things like Good Ranchers.
00:19:54.220

00:20:30.920
website recipe of the Texas-style chopped patty melt.
00:20:34.040
I test this out because I want to make sure that I'm not just imagining it.
00:20:38.900
I've tested out Good Ranchers meat at dinner parties with friends, with a number of people.
00:20:50.040
Let the mouth-watering aroma of American-made meat fill the air, bringing joy, unity, and
00:21:09.240
This is days after we get the WhatsApp text from 2017 about Joe Biden sitting next to him.
00:21:17.300
Well, now, in a message dated August 3rd, 2017, Hunter tells Gong Wen, Kevin Dong, a CCP-affiliated
00:21:26.040
business associate, that he wants to quit squabbling over peanuts and settle on a firm deal by putting,
00:21:36.260
I can make $5 million in salary at any law firm in America.
00:21:41.860
Is it because Hunter Biden is such a genius expert at the law?
00:21:44.800
I think it's because even if you're working at a law firm in America, he'd be peddling
00:21:48.600
But instead, he became even more corrupt and even greedier and he tried to sell his father's
00:21:52.660
influence overseas with the knowledge of his father, by the way.
00:21:58.120
Hunter writes, very simple, $10 million per annum budget to use to further the interest of
00:22:07.340
This move to $5 million is completely new to me and is not acceptable, obviously.
00:22:14.100
So he's saying, you only want to pay me $5 million a year to sell American influence?
00:22:19.280
He says, if you think this is about money, it's not.
00:22:22.400
The Bidens are the best I know at doing exactly what the chairman wants from this partnership.
00:22:36.100
The Bidens are the best, not Hunter Biden, not even just Joe Biden, the Biden family.
00:22:43.460
Because this is not a new kind of behavior that cropped up when Hunter Biden found the
00:22:50.560
This is behavior that the Biden family, including Joe Biden's brother, including the whole family,
00:23:01.780
We take away that if you think Joe Biden has not been involved in his family's corruption,
00:23:08.980
I have got a bridge in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware to sell you.
00:23:12.040
But this gets to the heart of a lot of the squabbling on the GOP side over 2024 and relitigating
00:23:20.320
2020, which is a family that does this, a family that sells American influence for millions and
00:23:29.020
millions of dollars brazenly, openly in WhatsApp messages.
00:23:32.180
Joe Biden bragging about it at the Council of Foreign Relations.
00:23:34.580
I went to Ukraine and I told that prosecutor, if you don't fire that prosecutor, I'm going to
00:23:41.040
withhold a billion dollars in American aid and you fire that prosecutor who's investigating
00:23:45.840
the company that's paying off my son a ton of money for me to peddle American influence.
00:23:54.260
And you're telling me that a family that engages in that kind of public corruption and a party
00:24:01.340
that sanctions that kind of public corruption wouldn't steal an election?
00:24:06.820
We just found, what, 300 mail-in ballots in a locker in Michigan from 2020?
00:24:13.940
I bet there are a lot of lockers in Pennsylvania and Arizona and Georgia.
00:24:20.160
You're telling me that a party where the two of the three most prominent families in the last 20 years,
00:24:28.460
the Clintons and the Bidens, the Obamas are corrupt too.
00:24:33.480
But in this case, we're talking about selling American influence, top dollar,
00:24:40.080
And we got the Bidens and the Clintons on this dead to rights at least.
00:24:43.720
You're telling me that party wouldn't steal an election?
00:24:53.420
not how you're going to lock up the border, though that would be good,
00:24:56.300
not how you're going to turn the economy around.
00:25:00.200
Not even how you're going to wield government power to fix the education system and the culture.
00:25:08.280
I want to know how you're going to overcome the Democrats rigging the election like they did in 2020.
00:25:18.880
You know, we're in the midst of the Chris-a-sants, the Chris Christie renaissance.
00:25:24.320
And Vivek and Mike Pence and whoever else is running.
00:25:26.260
Okay, you've got to explain that to me because right now the Democrats feel
00:25:32.980
that they've got a very solid electoral asset in the way that they've rigged the system.
00:25:37.920
And when you want a solid asset, you've got to check out Birch Gold.
00:25:44.200
Central banks in countries such as China, China, India, and Australia have announced
00:25:48.700
they are beginning to explore transitioning to a digital currency.
00:25:52.200
The Federal Reserve has been contemplating the same for the U.S.
00:25:54.880
With a digital currency, the government could track every single purchase you make.
00:25:59.460
Officials could even prohibit you from purchasing certain products
00:26:02.180
or easily freeze or seize part or all of your money.
00:26:05.760
Times like these are a great reminder to diversify a portion of your savings into gold.
00:26:18.840
Birch Gold will help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold.
00:26:32.280
Birch Gold has an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau.
00:26:41.620
If a central bank digital currency becomes a reality,
00:26:44.200
it will be nice to have some gold to depend on.
00:26:50.140
Speaking of degenerate sort of places that have been destroyed by bad political decisions,
00:27:03.200
Or rather, Ron DeSantis chose to go to San Francisco as he makes his campaign for presidency
00:27:08.340
not just about a handful of states, but about coast to coast and a major cultural change.
00:27:13.760
You look around, the city is not vibrant anymore.
00:27:18.480
It's really collapsed because of leftist policies.
00:27:22.000
And these policies have caused people to flee this area.
00:27:25.080
They don't prosecute criminals like they do in most parts of the country.
00:27:28.980
And the wreckage has really, really been sad to see.
00:27:31.800
And so I've seen so many businesses boarded up.
00:27:34.920
I've seen so much riffraff just running around.
00:27:48.220
I like this look of Ron DeSantis being out in the fray in front of this graffitied up building,
00:28:06.180
What I've heard about this trip is that people are coming up to DeSantis in California and
00:28:14.780
You know, regular, good, sort of ordinary American people that we all like and support.
00:28:21.160
The crazy libs, they all were yelling at DeSantis.
00:28:23.820
But the normal, nice people and the first responders and the cool guys, they all like DeSantis.
00:28:35.040
The knock on DeSantis right now is that he's a little too stiff.
00:28:41.320
He doesn't have enough riz, you know, to use my Zoomer lingo.
00:28:45.800
That he's running as a little bit of a, I don't know, focused, group-tested type of establishment candidate.
00:29:01.640
That's something that Trump has that DeSantis really needs to go after.
00:29:07.700
Best I've seen him, but we should go even further down that line if we're talking about a DeSantis kind of campaign.
00:29:15.020
And I've got bad news for DeSantis, which is that Trump continues to dominate in the polls.
00:29:19.760
And he's getting stronger and stronger in the polls.
00:29:21.260
There's a poll right now out of Quinnipiac that shows Trump not only beating the rest of the GOP field by a lot, which he's doing, but Trump beating Biden.
00:29:30.820
And not just Trump beating Biden at the national level, which the other night we were on backstage.
00:29:35.660
And I was trying to explain to my friend and colleague Ben Shapiro that Trump is a lot stronger than the people who don't like Trump are letting on.
00:29:42.520
And I said, well, one example is that Trump is beating Biden in the polls.
00:29:47.620
And he says, well, those are just national polls.
00:29:49.440
And national polls don't matter because the elections come down to just a handful of states and not even a whole lot of counties.
00:29:55.140
Well, now we have a poll out from Quinnipiac, which shows Trump beating Biden in Pennsylvania.
00:30:02.800
Pennsylvania is supposed to be Joe Biden's home turf, good old Scranton Joe.
00:30:06.420
And Trump is beating him there head to head, 47 to 46.
00:30:14.200
So the argument that Trump can't win is falling apart.
00:30:22.020
I always thought it was a silly argument because he won in 2016.
00:30:25.760
So the people who say Trump will never, ever win, it's going to destroy the GOP, they were wrong in 2016.
00:30:31.260
But yeah, okay, he was not able to remain the president after the 2020 election.
00:30:40.240
And he does need to do a better job of appealing to people who are a little more centrist and a little bit more in the middle.
00:30:48.360
And Trump looks so unfairly persecuted that even in a place like Pennsylvania, Trump is currently leading.
00:30:55.220
So now one of the big anti-Trump lines in the primary is gone.
00:31:03.100
And it's gone on the idea that, well, the national polls don't matter.
00:31:05.320
Yeah, maybe the national polls don't tell you everything, but the state polls do.
00:31:09.420
And even in the contentious battleground state polls, Trump's looking pretty good.
00:31:15.760
Well, the DeSantis campaign pitch is going to be that Trump had the right idea, but he failed in the execution, and I'm going to be the better Trump.
00:31:26.300
Most of us in this room voted to drain the swamp twice.
00:31:28.860
Talk to us specifically about why you're the right candidate to folks in New Hampshire to come behind in this primary to drain the swamp and get it done this time, as opposed to the other choice.
00:31:42.960
So the question is, and I remember these rallies in 2016.
00:31:53.940
And then two weeks after the election, oh, don't forget about it.
00:31:59.120
One thing you'll get from me, if I tell you I'm going to do something, I'm not just saying that for an election.
00:32:03.660
And there are promises I could make that may help me marginally politically that I don't know that I could necessarily follow through on, so I will not make that.
00:32:11.980
And I think the idea of draining the swamp, in some respects, I think it misses it a little bit, because we didn't drain it.
00:32:20.460
It's worse today than it's ever been, by far, and that's a sad testament to the state affairs of our country.
00:32:27.680
But even if you're successful at draining it, the next guy can just refill it.
00:32:35.900
That's a sophisticated point, which is that not only do you need to fire the bad people, but you need to change the structure that is causing problems in the first place.
00:32:47.460
And it all comes down to this idea that DeSantis is Trump 2.0.
00:32:51.500
Better, bigger, faster, stronger, more precise, better at wielding politics.
00:32:56.360
Trump's big strength was that he's a political outsider and doesn't really know how Washington works.
00:33:04.900
So he's going to take Trumpism and really put it into effect.
00:33:12.160
And if that is all the campaign is about, then DeSantis' campaign is not going to win.
00:33:16.840
Because it's new Coke versus Coca-Cola Classic.
00:33:21.240
Coca-Cola Classic, which is the Coca-Cola that we all have today, people really like it.
00:33:25.960
And then some 30, 40 years ago, is it that long at this point?
00:33:30.740
Coca-Cola decides they've got a new Coke formula.
00:33:35.700
And they bring it out, and it's a complete disaster, and they have to return to the old Coke formula.
00:33:41.420
Was it just some rogue marketing executive who screwed things up?
00:33:44.440
No, they tested new Coke over and over and over again.
00:33:47.860
And when people were given blind taste tests of new Coke versus the old Coke, people preferred the new Coke.
00:33:55.340
But when the blindfold came off, and they knew what the brands were, and they had a choice between that old thing, the OG, and the new and improved version, they picked the original.
00:34:07.760
And that's exactly what's going on in the GOP primary right now.
00:34:12.120
You could say that DeSantis is better at wielding power and implementing these things, and he's more philosophically and ideologically coherent, and he understands politics better.
00:34:21.360
And you could go down the whole litany of compliments.
00:34:24.160
But the way that people respond to that, and the way that psychology works, is that people like that original thing, you know, and Trump is an American original.
00:34:34.600
So if the DeSantis campaign is going to be effective, it's going to need something in addition to, I'm just the bigger, better Trump.
00:34:42.380

My favorite comment yesterday is from Fireflyivoryyt, who says,
00:35:43.900
My goodness, CNN is grabbing at the lowest apples on the tree at this point anything to try and catch him, to get Trump, to have the walls closed again.
00:35:56.840
It's not even that they've run out of good things to go after, and now they're making stuff up.
00:36:02.960
In 2016, when Barack Obama's DOJ and FBI illegally spied on Trump's campaign to try to suppress the political opposition,
00:36:12.280
they just made up the pretext out of whole cloth.
00:36:14.920
And the whole thing has been a big fiction from the beginning.
00:36:20.580
Now, speaking of New Coke and Old Coke and political campaigns and innovation,
00:36:27.520
Mr. Davies sent me this clip yesterday, and I didn't even want to include it, but we have to.
00:36:36.460
They say politics is downstream of culture, which is half true, and culture is downstream of religion.
00:36:40.820
And you're seeing an intensifying of religious debate.
00:36:44.500
And when we talk about religion and Christianity, some people don't even know what we're talking about anymore,
00:36:49.820
especially this priestess from some liberal, heretical sect of pseudo-Christianity,
00:36:56.280
who decided to change the creed of the religion.
00:37:02.760
and let us confess our faith today in the words of the Sparkle Creed.
00:37:08.120
I believe in the non-binary God, whose pronouns are plural.
00:37:15.780
I believe in Jesus Christ, their child, who wore a fabulous tunic and had two dads.
00:37:22.460
All right, enough, enough. Turn it off. Turn it off.
00:37:22.960
Sorry, don't, I'm not getting through it. Not getting through it.
00:37:25.780
Not gonna, you know, maybe a free speech absolutist would say,
00:37:29.160
well, we need to listen to that, because the answer to bad ideas is just more speech.
00:37:33.100
Nope, not gonna hear that heretical blasphemous claptrap, but you get the point.
00:37:36.980
That's more than I made it through listening to yesterday when I said I'd put it in the show.
00:37:45.260
If that's your church, if your version of going to church is going to a building
00:37:51.260
and looking at some ridiculous woman dressing up, playing Halloween pretend like a priest,
00:37:58.100
with invalid holy orders, reciting a creed that amounts to nothing more than the same rainbow pride flag stuff
00:38:07.060
that you're getting in every TV commercial from all the major brands in the entire culture,
00:38:12.120
from the government, from the White House, from your teachers, from your boss, from the HR manager,
00:38:16.000
from every single thing in the culture, then what the hell is the point of going to church?
00:38:19.600
We go to church to escape this world, to look beyond this world.
00:38:30.060
This is a fallen world governed by principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in high places.
00:38:35.360
And so when we go to church, when we go to Holy Mass, we get a little foretaste of heaven.
00:38:39.720
And we check the worldliness at the door, and we do something else,
00:38:45.720
especially when we're witnessing the holy sacrifice of the Mass
00:38:49.480
and the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
00:38:52.620
Not with all the fabulous sparkle, whatever nonsense that she's pretending that Christianity is.
00:38:58.120
Not with the fake pronouns that this woman is ascribing to God.
00:39:02.380
It's amazing that these people are so insistent that everybody respected their preferred and inaccurate pronouns,
00:39:09.100
but this woman won't respect God's pronouns that he makes rather clear in the Bible.
00:39:20.980
It's very sad and silly for the people who are attending that church and for this poor, misguided priestess.
00:39:30.680
You know, just, if you're going to engage in weird sacrilegious nonsense,
00:39:34.100
then you should do what every other atheist white girl millennial does,
00:39:37.680
and just go to yoga and then go have champagne brunch on Sunday and call that your church.
00:39:42.980
But to go and pretend, no, it's just the lives do this all the time.
00:39:46.360
They want the appearance of the thing, but they don't want the substance of the thing.
00:39:51.280
They're the sort of people who, they drink Diet Coke.
00:39:56.500
They want all the trappings of good stuff without any of the meat of it.
00:40:03.400
They want the appearance of church without the meaning.
00:40:11.880
And he said that people in modern religion want a God without wrath,
00:40:16.560
leading a people without sin into a kingdom without judgment,
00:40:19.180
through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross.
00:40:21.700
Now they're taking it to a God and his son without pronouns, without any identity.
00:40:27.940
Okay, well, then you're going to, if you're losing the identity of being himself,
00:40:31.820
of the man who says, of the God that says, I am that I am, then you're losing the whole religion.
00:40:38.660
Speaking of incoherent rambling, this is breaking news.
00:40:47.920
I've long said, and I mean this, I was on the Tibetan plateau with Xi Jinping.
00:40:58.760
I've spoken with him more than any other head of state.
00:41:03.700
And President Hu was the president, and he was the vice president.
00:41:14.360
I met alone with him, just he and I, and a simultaneous interpreter, 68 times.
00:41:26.640
And I got in 68 hours and 68, no, 68 times more.
00:41:41.500
One's the English system, but the English abandoned the standard system.
00:41:51.720
There's a report out that Joe Biden is not sleeping very well.
00:41:56.240
And he's got breathing problems when he sleeps.
00:42:00.960
And that explains not only why he appears dazed and confused,
00:42:04.400
but also why there's some markings on his face now.
00:42:06.580
They're saying the markings are from the CPAP machine.
00:42:13.240
A very low pressure flow of air into your nose so you don't suffocate while you sleep
00:42:18.120
and have that disturb your sleep and make you even more dazed and confused.
00:42:22.020
Though some people have suggested that the marks on Biden's face are not really consistent
00:42:27.080
My grandfather wore a CPAP mask many moons ago when he was still alive.
00:42:32.460
And I don't know, I guess, I don't take the White House at their word for anything.
00:42:43.760
And this is not only acceptable in our current system, but it's actually kind of an advantage.
00:42:52.760
Because the expectations for this White House are extraordinarily low.
00:42:57.640
And because the liberal establishment gets to prove,
00:43:01.860
gets to actually not just hide this or downplay it,
00:43:04.320
but shove your face in the fact that the country is not currently being run by a president.
00:43:09.780
Going back 100 years, going back more than 100 years to Woodrow Wilson,
00:43:13.180
you've had liberals and progressives saying that the presidency is too big now for any one man.
00:43:18.200
The modern challenges are too big for our constitutional system of government.
00:43:22.040
And so you have to replace that constitutional system with a technocracy
00:43:26.040
and with a liberal establishment that really becomes the supreme law of the land.
00:43:30.100
More so than the congressman, more so than the senators,
00:43:34.340
more so than the president and the judges even in the constitution.
00:43:43.880
how when there is a conflict between liberalism and democracy,
00:43:49.060
When the people elect Donald Trump, that's a risk to democracy.
00:43:52.520
If they were really talking about democracy, that wouldn't be possible.
00:43:55.020
But when they say democracy, they mean liberalism.
00:43:57.140
When a right-winger like Viktor Orban in Hungary or Georgia Maloney in Italy
00:44:02.000
or a referendum like Brexit in the United Kingdom,
00:44:04.640
when that's passed by the people, that's a threat to democracy.
00:44:10.400
So the question for us is, if we want to take down liberalism,
00:44:14.100
if we believe that democracy is the best way to do it,
00:44:22.300
are not just going to rig the whole system against us?
00:44:25.940
Now, speaking of technical feats and advancements,
00:44:43.320
which is they've used these new weird, creepy image apps
