00:00:37.700 The West Wing was evacuated on Sunday after a bag of white powder was discovered in the White House.

00:00:44.100 The evacuation was brief, however, after officials remembered that Hunter Biden doesn't snort anthrax, as far as we know.

00:00:51.340 Now, the white powder turned out to be nothing more than a first son favorite booger sugar.

00:00:58.320 You know what I'm talking about?

00:01:00.000 Some Colombian nose candy, if you catch my drift. 0.97

00:01:03.380 A little Yale College baking soda, if you can infer my meaning.

00:01:07.120 I'm talking about Coke.

00:01:08.120 Coke, which means that since the president's infamously unrepentant dirt bag of a son had been visiting the White House that very weekend,

00:01:19.240 a lot of people came to conclusions about how the cocaine got there.

00:01:23.500 MSNBC, however, is shocked.

00:01:25.980 And turning to some breaking news, we have just learned that a formal lab has confirmed the suspicion

00:01:32.200 that that white powdery substance found in the West Wing on Sunday was, in fact, positive for cocaine.

00:01:38.860 The discovery led to a brief evacuation of the White House Sunday night.

00:01:42.420 Joining us now is NBC White House correspondent Mike Memoli.

00:01:45.400 So, Mike, where do things stand now?

00:01:47.300 This is so unusual.

00:01:49.320 You and I have covered the White House for years.

00:01:51.080 It is unusual.

00:01:51.600 So, I can't even fathom anything like this having been found before in the West Wing.

00:01:57.040 And I go back to the 70s at the White House.

00:02:00.000 So, this is pretty wild.

00:02:02.760 It's absolutely extraordinary, Andrea.

00:02:04.520 And this new conclusive test confirms what had been the preliminary field test conducted by D.C. fire personnel

00:02:10.900 who were called in on Sunday night after the discovery of this suspicious substance

00:02:15.920 by a uniformed officer in the Secret Service that was conducting a routine patrol of the White House.

00:02:22.240 And so, to recap on the developments from, that we've been reporting on yesterday,

00:02:27.320 this was found, we understand, in a highly trafficked common area of the West Wing.

00:02:33.980 It's an area where individuals, especially visitors, individuals who may be coming for, for instance, a private tour.

00:02:40.360 Yeah, we just, but it's hard to fathom.

00:02:43.180 We just don't know.

00:02:44.160 So, how on earth, cocaine made its way into the Biden White House?

00:02:51.340 Who knows?

00:02:52.540 Who knows?

00:02:53.380 Not to be outdone in implausibility, a law enforcement official has gone on record to say that the cocaine culprit

00:02:59.820 is unlikely ever to be found.

00:03:03.580 Because, put the first son aside for a second.

00:03:06.480 Because the culprit, whoever he is, in any case, is a friend of Joe Biden.

00:03:13.060 The only people who make it into the West Wing these days are friends and allies of Joe Biden and the Democrats.

00:03:22.440 And Democrat criminals, generally speaking, with very few exceptions, don't face consequences

00:03:27.200 because they don't get charged, because they don't get arrested, because they're usually not even investigated.

00:03:32.120 Conservatives have the book thrown at us for even slightly approaching the line of legality.

00:03:39.720 While the libs get off scot-free when they cross the line and even when they snort it up behind them.

00:03:45.700 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:03:54.860 Welcome back to the show.

00:03:57.000 So, there's a wonderful clip in this ongoing debate over affirmative action and Harvard admissions of Joy Reid,

00:04:04.360 who I just learned, Joy Reid is in this MSNBC talking head.

00:04:07.100 Apparently, she went to Harvard, and she admits the only reason she got in is because of affirmative action.

00:04:11.300 And then she proves it when she demonstrates that she doesn't even know what affirmative action is. 0.99

00:04:15.360 So, we'll get to that in a bit.

00:04:17.040 First, though, speaking of intoxicants, Bud Light is selling for less than water right now in some places.

00:04:24.700 According to Andy Wagner, the manager of Glenn Miller's Beer and Soda Warehouse in Le Moyne, Pennsylvania,

00:04:31.940 speaking to the New York Times, he says,

00:04:33.920 at this point, it's cheaper than some of the cases of water we're selling in the back.

00:04:39.400 It's just not moving like it used to.

00:04:42.420 It's not that these people have stopped drinking beer.

00:04:45.260 They just stopped buying Bud Light.

00:04:47.200 Now, according to this guy, he said Anheuser-Busch broke bar rules, which means no politics, no religion.

00:04:57.160 This was the number one best-selling beer in America for over 20 years.

00:05:00.440 Now, it's fallen, and it's plummeting.

00:05:03.100 The sales continue to fall, and Modelo Especial has overtaken Bud Light as the number one beer in America,

00:05:10.120 and now Bud Light is selling in some places cheaper than water.

00:05:13.560 This is really encouraging, not only because of what it says about Americans' views of the pride stuff, 0.89

00:05:19.620 not only because of what it says about conservatives' abilities to boycott a company and really bring them to heel,

00:05:25.780 but because it reminds us not to despair,

00:05:30.100 because it reminds us that bad systems can't go on forever,

00:05:34.860 because it reminds us that there actually are consequences for bad, stupid, misguided actions

00:05:41.820 that are not in accord with reality.

00:05:43.760 And I think we conservatives, and I'll include myself in this,

00:05:46.860 we sometimes are tempted to despair because we see the first family getting away with murder.

00:05:53.400 Well, sorry, I'm not talking about the Clintons.

00:05:54.740 I'm talking about the Bidens.

00:05:55.460 So they get away with, you know, bribery and corruption and drugs and all this kind of stuff,

00:05:59.000 and they just get away with it, and they're not held to account ever.

00:06:01.780 Meanwhile, Midwestern grannies who crack, probably not a Bud Light, in the Capitol Rotunda, 0.98

00:06:06.500 they get thrown in solitary confinement.

00:06:08.320 They have the book thrown at them because of January 6th.

00:06:10.960 And we just look at this and we say, goodness gracious, it's so preposterous.

00:06:14.480 The kinds of ideologies, some of which we're not allowed to talk about on Big Tech anymore,

00:06:18.260 so you've got to go to dailywire.com to hear the commentary on that.

00:06:20.660 But certain ideologies that are very much in the news are manifestly absurd,

00:06:24.740 and yet the establishment continues to push them, it seems like, without any real consequence whatsoever.

00:06:31.440 They don't seem in any way accountable to the people.

00:06:35.080 And yet, sometimes, this is the great conservative consolation, reality reasserts itself eventually.

00:06:44.460 There can be a lot of time and a lot of pain before reality reasserts itself, but it does.

00:06:49.340 And now you're seeing this especially as Bud Light collapses.

00:06:51.960 So Bud Light, they're trying almost everything to resuscitate their brand,

00:06:57.900 and they're catching a lot of flack for almost everything they do.

00:07:00.920 Bud Light comes out initially, and they sort of don't quite, not exactly apologize.

00:07:05.860 Then they double down.

00:07:07.020 Then they publish an ad about horses or something, which totally sidesteps the issue.

00:07:11.640 Then they publish this ad with a bunch of grunting, rube, idiot, hick, deplorable, irredeemables,

00:07:16.800 just like stumbling and bumbling over themselves as though that was going to ingratiate them back with their customer base.

00:07:22.660 And now Bud Light is using fallen soldiers as a last-ditch effort to resuscitate the brand.

00:07:30.140 After my second tour in Iraq as an F-16 pilot, I witnessed a family as their fallen soldier returned home.

00:07:43.880 I felt a calling to help.

00:07:47.860 Budweiser has believed in folds of honor for 13 years.

00:07:51.060 Today, we honor our veterans and the 44,000 scholarships awarded to their families.

00:08:02.220 That's enough to fill this stadium.

00:08:04.660 Notori, class of 22.

00:08:06.480 Gabby, class of 2023.

00:08:08.100 Landon, class of 2025.

00:08:12.040 Service never stops, and neither will we.

00:08:15.160 Like Bud Light, this commercial is almost completely tasteless.

00:08:22.700 Why?

00:08:23.880 Because this is a bad charity?

00:08:25.500 No, it's a great charity.

00:08:26.440 Because it's bad that Bud Light is donating money to it?

00:08:28.780 No, Bud Light should donate money to it.

00:08:30.440 Because it's bad that Bud Light is mentioning that they're donating money to it?

00:08:33.500 No, I don't even totally mind that if a company is doing that,

00:08:36.480 though they should do it in a more graceful, subtle way.

00:08:38.520 But because this advertisement was produced and aired with one purpose and one purpose only,

00:08:45.320 and that is to win back customers after the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco.

00:08:53.960 There is only one way out of the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco.

00:08:58.040 There's only one way out.

00:08:59.060 It's not ads with horses.

00:09:01.160 It's not presenting white men in the South as bumbling, fumbling idiots.

00:09:07.060 I don't know who thought that was a good idea.

00:09:09.300 It's not talking about the fallen soldiers and how much you do for the families of the fallen soldiers.

00:09:15.960 You know the one way out of this?

00:09:17.680 The only shot, I'm not saying it'll even work,

00:09:19.640 the only shot that Bud Light has out of the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco?

00:09:23.940 Apologize.

00:09:25.960 Apologize.

00:09:26.820 Say you don't believe in that stuff.

00:09:30.080 You don't stand for that kind of absurdity.

00:09:32.920 You're not pushing that radical sexual agenda on people.

00:09:36.240 You're sorry that you ever did it.

00:09:38.460 You've taken actions to correct that.

00:09:40.800 You don't hate your customers.

00:09:42.440 You don't think that they're frat boys and rude blue-collar idiots.

00:09:46.860 You need to apologize and you need to clearly state what you believe.

00:09:51.220 There's no avoiding the political issue.

00:09:53.980 You've injected yourself into this contentious political debate,

00:09:57.160 and this is a debate on this particular sexual ideology that we're not allowed to mention the name of on big tech platforms.

00:10:02.120 There is no way of trying to just remain neutral and appease everybody.

00:10:07.140 This is a binary option.

00:10:09.320 Do you support this radical false sexual ideology or not?

00:10:14.920 Which is it?

00:10:15.700 You've got to make it.

00:10:17.200 It's binary.

00:10:18.100 I know we talk about non-binary things these days.

00:10:20.080 It's a binary choice.

00:10:21.520 And a Bud Light spot between a rock and a hard place because the vast majority of people don't accept this radical sexual ideology that we all know is false.

00:10:28.660 But the elites, the people with the money, the big asset managers and the big people who control the media and the political order and the education systems and all the rest of it,

00:10:38.860 they do support the radical ideology.

00:10:41.960 And the customers are the many, the people who don't support it.

00:10:46.920 But the investors and the advertisers and the platform owners, they're the ones who do support it.

00:10:52.640 And so Bud Light is caught here.

00:10:54.520 Well, then just stop.

00:10:56.840 Then just stop.

00:10:57.580 Then give it up.

00:10:58.280 Stop making these tasteless ads.

00:10:59.880 They're going to irritate your customer base even more.

00:11:01.840 Then just don't do anything and wait it out and hope people forget.

00:11:04.660 That's your, that's your only other option.

00:11:06.340 If you want to try to resuscitate the brand, there's, there's only one way.

00:11:10.780 If you really wanted to do it, Bud Light would just air a commercial of my CPAC speech.

00:11:15.200 That caused a little consternation on the right over this particular, on the left rather, over this particular issue.

00:11:19.920 If Bud Light really wanted to correct things with the base, Bud Light would air a trailer for the What is a Woman movie as a commercial.

00:11:27.820 Okay, that would really do.

00:11:28.820 At the very least, though, just apologize.

00:11:31.000 Just say, yeah, we were wrong.

00:11:32.500 We don't believe that.

00:11:33.760 Sorry.

00:11:34.620 Boys are boys.

00:12:47.200 Speaking of economic shifts, great news that is not being reported very much about our political order.

00:12:56.380 This is such great news.

00:12:57.700 It's not a sexy issue like a beer company going woke or something so people aren't talking.

00:13:01.200 But this is so, this is such a big win for conservatives.

00:13:05.060 The Northeast of America, which has been the dominant economic leader, the powerhouse of America for, I don't know, about as long as I can remember,

00:13:14.100 is no longer the main driver of the American economy.

00:13:17.980 Do you know which region is?

00:13:19.680 The South.

00:13:21.340 The liberal Northeast region has lost its economic dominance.

00:13:28.140 The conservative region, the South, has taken it.

00:13:33.020 Why is that?

00:13:35.060 Because people are leaving the Northeast because the Northeast has become unlivable, very difficult with stupid regulations and stupid taxes and stupid social policies,

00:13:44.040 especially the stupid social policies.

00:13:46.160 And they're moving to the South, which is not only freer economically, but perhaps more importantly, it's still an ordered society.

00:13:54.740 It's still a normal place where you can live a normal life.

00:13:57.440 And I know all we ever talk about is how, well, we've got lower taxes here, you know, or, hey, we've got fewer regulations, so it's easier to do business.

00:14:04.440 And that's true.

00:14:05.240 And those were big motivating factors that got a lot of us conservatives, myself included, to leave liberal places and to move here to Tennessee or Texas or Georgia or Florida or these other places, too.

00:14:16.700 But more than that, it's the social stuff.

00:14:21.280 When people ask me, hey, Michael, how do you like Tennessee?

00:14:23.220 I say, I love Tennessee.

00:14:24.300 They say, do you plan to stay there?

00:14:25.240 I totally plan to stay here.

00:14:26.760 Why is that?

00:14:27.420 I don't say because I have a little bit more money, which I do.

00:14:31.700 I do have a little bit more money here because there's no state income tax.

00:14:35.360 What I always say is because I can raise a family here, because it's a nice, normal place to live, because I love my neighbors, because there's a community here, because I love my parish, because it's normal here.

00:14:51.000 And people smile and are nice and talk about things in a normal way.

00:14:57.540 And it turns out that normality and living in accordance with reality is good for business, too.

00:15:07.040 We conservatives, we fall for the same economics exaltation that the leftists and even that the Marxists do.

00:15:15.420 The Marxists' primary mistake was viewing man as essentially an economic creature.

00:15:22.160 But man is not essentially an economic creature.

00:15:24.200 Man is made in the image and likeness of God, and there's a lot more to life than money.

00:15:27.360 So we want a good economy, but we want that good economy in service of a good society and a good life.

00:15:32.260 You don't want to put the cart before the horse.

00:15:35.240 And when you think about economics first, things are going to get out of whack.

00:15:39.860 You see this not only on the left, but even on the right.

00:15:41.820 When conservatives tried to avoid the social issues and they just wanted to talk about occupational licensing reform or whatever,

00:15:48.260 then we lost all of our power and society spun totally out of control.

00:15:52.400 What we have learned, I think, in the last 10 years, especially on the right, is that social issues are economic issues.

00:16:00.740 You're not going to fix the economic problem by having a social truce or anything like that.

00:16:05.040 The social issues.

00:16:06.380 Do we respect life?

00:16:07.720 Do we know what marriage is?

00:16:09.220 Do we support families?

00:16:10.440 Do we support growing families and growing the next generation?

00:16:13.400 Do we recognize borders and the distinction between a citizenry and foreign peoples?

00:16:18.480 If we don't do that, then you can have all the economic tinkering in the world.

00:16:23.480 It's not going to fix your society.

00:16:24.880 Things are going to continue to degrade.

00:16:27.060 So now, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, my state of Tennessee, and Texas, which is where all my exes live,

00:16:36.700 they have economically overtaken Boston, New York City, Washington, D.C., the Northeast, according to Bloomberg.

00:16:45.720 The population in the Southeast grew by 2.2 million people in the last two years.

00:16:52.360 It's the same consolation that we were just talking about with Bud Light.

00:16:56.580 Bad systems can't go on forever.

00:17:01.320 Political orders always change.

00:17:03.300 And conservatives used to not like that last part of it because we used to want to believe, hey, look, the America of 1958, that has to go on forever.

00:17:14.620 The America, not even of 1778, not even of 1888, but of mid-1950s America, that is the eternal political order.

00:17:25.400 It has to go on forever, and any deviation from that whatsoever is awful and terrible and a violation of everything we hold dear.

00:17:32.460 And we used to lament when the left would tell us, well, that's not how politics works.

00:17:36.520 Things change all the time.

00:17:37.580 We say, no, we don't want it to change.

00:17:39.520 We want it to remain exactly the same.

00:17:41.300 Well, yeah, it's very sad to know that political orders always have to change when things are good.

00:17:47.080 But when things are bad and decadent and corrupted, as they are right now, then it's a great consolation and hope to know that political orders, none of them, not the best one, not the worst one, none of them go on forever.

00:18:02.980 And also, money talks and BS walks.

00:18:06.020 And so, as the South, as the conservative part of the country, gains more economic power, the South is going to be able to throw its political weight around a little bit more than we have in the past, just as the liberal Northeast was able to throw its political weight around and dominate the country for the last hundred years.

00:18:24.160 Now, speaking of bad systems and speaking of the South, great news out of Virginia, Pornhub has just suspended its service in Virginia.

00:18:34.240 Great story just came out.

00:18:37.220 This was going around Twitter and an email from Pornhub.

00:18:41.560 I did not receive this email.

00:18:43.800 Although sometimes libs find my email address and they sign me up for all sorts of nasty little things that I have to then unsubscribe for.

00:18:50.860 It's very frustrating.

00:18:51.920 I mercifully have not been signed up for this one.

00:18:54.240 Not recently, at least.

00:18:56.120 And now I know saying that, I know I'm going to just get a flood of sign-ups for this evil website.

00:19:04.480 But it doesn't even really matter because this website is going down because people are throwing their economic and political weight around to destroy Pornhub.

00:19:12.640 And the liberals are upset about that.

00:19:14.900 And some of the libertarians are probably upset about that.

00:19:17.200 But the conservatives are going to be thrilled about that.

00:19:19.820 What does Pornhub say?

00:19:20.580 They say, dear user, as you may know, your elected officials in Virginia are requiring us to verify your age before allowing you access to our website while safety and compliance are at the forefront of our mission.

00:19:31.420 Hold on.

00:19:34.940 We got to forget even the idea that safety and compliance are really important to Pornhub.

00:19:41.520 What the hell is our mission?

00:19:43.580 What is our mission at Pornhub?

00:19:45.220 Take Pornhub out of it for a second.

00:19:47.960 This is so grating about all millennial companies.

00:19:53.100 They always have to have a mission.

00:19:54.600 You know, they're all on a social mission.

00:19:57.220 You could have like an accounting firm.

00:19:59.000 They say, well, our social mission is to improve the world and to stop climate change and to spread pride and progress.

00:20:07.200 And we have a mission.

00:20:07.960 And that's even true of smut peddlers like Pornhub.

00:20:11.020 What's your mission?

00:20:12.420 Your mission is to arouse the lusts of men and to exploit women and sexually traffic people. 0.95

00:20:18.100 That's your mission.

00:20:18.780 And to make money doing it.

00:20:20.300 Okay.

00:20:20.820 So they say, safety and compliance are at the forefront of our mission.

00:20:24.320 But giving your ID card every time you want to visit an adult platform is not the most effective solution.

00:20:31.120 Until a real solution is offered, well, we got a solution, Pornhub.

00:20:34.660 But we've made the difficult decision to completely disable access to our website in Virginia.

00:20:40.260 Awesome.

00:20:41.480 Looks like Virginia fixed that problem, at least for now, in a cinch. 1.00

00:22:52.460 it finally comes out.

00:22:56.480 It's a great solution.

00:22:59.460 Insist that users of porn websites and Target Pornhub because it's the big one, insist that

00:23:04.640 they submit a government-issued ID and then they can use the website.

00:23:10.260 That's a good first step because there are going to be a lot of people who, recognizing

00:23:13.680 that porn is extremely shameful, just won't do that.

00:23:16.520 And then they will be, they will have less access to porn.

00:23:20.820 They will be less impelled to look at porn.

00:23:23.040 Pornhub's profits will decrease.

00:23:25.400 Pornhub will have a more difficult time maintaining their service.

00:23:28.220 And you'll, you'll drive it ever further toward the margins of society.

00:23:33.860 Great.

00:23:34.760 What's the problem with that?

00:23:35.520 I remember when these proposals first started to come up five, six years ago, when it really

00:23:40.840 started to gain some traction on the right.

00:23:42.820 And some of us conservatives advocated these policies and the more libertarian minded, more

00:23:49.260 sort of, I don't know, 2010 era conservative types, libertarian types, they said, no, this

00:23:55.220 is a horrible, horrible idea.

00:23:58.060 Why?

00:23:59.860 We know that this works.

00:24:01.420 This is exactly what the libs did with cigarettes. 1.00

00:24:03.640 This is exactly what they did.

00:24:05.480 They said, you've got to present an ID and you've got to be 18.

00:24:08.900 No, forget about that.

00:24:09.520 You got to be 21.

00:24:10.440 Now, pretty soon you have to be 45 to buy cigarettes.

00:24:12.520 In New York, you can't even buy tobacco if you were born after a certain age.

00:24:16.160 That's one of the proposals the libs have put forward there.

00:24:18.620 You can't buy flavored tobacco.

00:24:20.460 You can't buy this kind.

00:24:21.380 We're going to increase the taxes on tobacco.

00:24:23.580 We're going to lump this, that, and the other thing.

00:24:25.500 And I'm not a cigarette fan.

00:24:27.460 I've never been a big fan of cigarettes.

00:24:28.760 You know I love cigars, but cigarettes, I've never been a huge fan.

00:24:31.120 But I'll tell you this, for certain, porn is way more dangerous than cigarettes.

00:24:36.120 Cigarettes mess up your body.

00:24:39.040 They have a minor effect on the soul relative to porn, which melts your brain and turns you

00:24:44.180 into a complete dummy, like a drooling idiot, you know, that completely burns out your reward 0.89

00:24:50.440 centers and destroys the way that you look at women and is probably responsible for a lot 0.54

00:24:54.640 of the sexual dysfunction that we have in our country today.

00:24:57.180 Yeah, you're going to regulate cigarettes that way, and it worked.

00:25:01.100 Well, how about we just do what Virginia is doing right now and let Pornhub whine about 1.00

00:25:05.520 it?

00:25:05.700 Really, really smart stuff.

00:25:07.360 Speaking of weird sex stuff, Pride Month is over, but Pride Month is never really over,

00:25:14.540 is it?

00:25:15.240 Anymore?

00:25:15.680 It's just pride all the time.

00:25:19.300 It's just all, it's Pride Nation now.

00:25:21.420 According to Joe Biden, we're a nation of pride.

00:25:23.100 And one group that apparently was left out of the pride festivities, they're coming back

00:25:30.260 with a vengeance.

00:25:30.920 This would be the asexual community. 0.82

00:25:36.240 This is a post that just went viral on social media from the Yasmin Benoit, who says,

00:25:44.100 asexual people deserve equal rights.

00:25:47.460 We deserve legal recognition.

00:25:49.880 We deserve protection.

00:25:51.080 Thank you, Stonewall UK, for allowing me to march with you again at Pride in London

00:25:57.000 today, and for helping me to bring about this change.

00:26:01.140 This is what asexual looks like. 1.00

00:26:04.220 I stand with Stonewall. 1.00

00:26:07.240 Emphasis on all.

00:26:12.180 There's no end to it, guys.

00:26:14.840 There's no end.

00:26:15.440 And if the people who, by definition, don't engage in sex are insisting on becoming one

00:26:28.720 of the identities of the sexual revolution, there's no end.

00:26:33.840 This just goes on forever and ever.

00:26:37.280 What rights don't the supposedly asexual people have? 1.00

00:26:44.480 Not, there's no, what legal recognition could they even possibly have?

00:26:50.240 I don't, it doesn't.

00:26:51.180 It's just griping and whining and solipsism all the way down.

00:26:58.700 That's what it is.

00:26:59.360 It's the idea that you, in your ever-multiplying, ever-more-particular appetites, are not only

00:27:10.160 the only person that matters, but maybe just the only thing in the world.

00:27:13.140 The only thing that's really, really real.

00:27:16.120 Now, that one's kind of funny.

00:27:17.900 On to the darker side of sexual pathologies, there was this awful shooting over the weekend,

00:27:25.360 and this was in Philadelphia, and there wasn't a ton of news on this right away.

00:27:30.360 People weren't really seeing a lot in the headlines.

00:27:34.000 Turns out that this killer, who shot four men dead and a 15-year-old boy, allegedly in

00:27:41.600 the King-Sessing neighborhood on the evening, eve of the 4th of July, is a cross-dressing 1.00

00:27:48.860 BLM supporter, a somehow kind of trans-identifying BLM-supporting guy, because it's always the ones 1.00

00:28:00.960 you most expect, almost all the time.

00:28:05.480 It's the ones you most expect.

00:28:08.320 That's the way it goes.

00:28:09.220 Now, I'm not going to harp on this guy for too long.

00:28:13.440 The only thing that really caught my attention here, beyond just the usual people with all

00:28:18.540 sorts of problems and absurd ideologies committing heinous acts, was he had a series of very creepy

00:28:26.220 Facebook posts, one of which was titled, How Do You Know If An Evil Spirit Is Following You?

00:28:32.980 That's the part that people are not really talking about with this shooting.

00:28:36.140 Not just the trans thing, not just the BLM thing. 0.68

00:28:40.960 How do you know if an evil spirit is following you?

00:28:45.180 Hmm.

00:28:46.380 That's weird.

00:28:46.900 We don't talk about that because we don't want to talk about spirits, because we don't

00:28:49.080 want to talk about objective evil, because we don't want to talk about metaphysical things,

00:28:52.980 because we want to pretend that everything is just material.

00:28:54.840 And if someone is given a little bit more money or put in a better school, or if there was

00:28:58.640 another gun control law or something, then we wouldn't have evil anymore.

00:29:01.800 But the persistence of evil is a recognition of original sin, which is a reminder of sin,

00:29:09.600 which is a reminder that there's evil, and evil has a personality, and it prowls about

00:29:12.600 the world seeking the ruin of souls.

00:29:14.200 So that reminded me then of a really underreported aspect of the Nashville shooting.

00:29:20.180 We're now long after the Nashville shooting.

00:29:21.680 We still haven't gotten the manifesto.

00:29:24.380 We are not, the officials don't want us to know any of the motivating factors behind

00:29:29.000 that shooting.

00:29:29.580 They just want us to move along, move along.

00:29:31.660 Okay.

00:29:32.100 I think most reasonable people know what motivated that shooting or have a strong suspicion of

00:29:36.520 it, but there's a deeper motivating factor to that shooting that was manifest in the

00:29:43.300 shooting itself that is also not being reported.

00:29:46.060 That part's being covered up even more than the trans aspect of it.

00:29:49.160 And that would be that at some point during the shooting, very likely before the shooting,

00:29:54.360 but we're not exactly clear on the timeline, at some point during the Covenant School shooting,

00:29:58.680 the shooter took a detour from the school to the attached church and shot a stained glass figure.

00:30:11.140 Just took the gun and shot the stained glass, but not just randomly into the stained glass.

00:30:16.760 Went into this church, found the stained glass figure of Adam, the first man, and shot the

00:30:25.640 figure of Adam seven times.

00:30:30.720 Now, by the end of the shooting, this shooter had claimed six victims, but that's not how

00:30:37.500 the supporters of, I guess you'd call them the supporters of the shooter, or maybe the

00:30:42.980 supporters of the ideology that motivated this shooter, when they were protesting the laws

00:30:50.600 that tried to enshrine sexual reality over absurdity in Tennessee. 0.98

00:30:55.860 The protest involved the number seven, and the protesters held up seven fingers and said

00:31:03.360 seven fingers for seven victims.

00:31:05.580 There was a prominent pro-trans group that came out and said there weren't just six victims

00:31:09.580 of the shooting, it was seven victims, because the shooter is a victim too.

00:31:12.540 We have video of this.

00:31:14.140 Death is a tragedy, y'all.

00:31:15.720 Seven lives. 0.72

00:31:17.160 Seven lives. 0.72

00:31:18.000 Seven lives. 0.72

00:31:18.040 Seven, and you see them, it's really eerie, like a cult ritual, holding up these seven fingers.

00:31:32.500 Seven, by the way, which is a number of perfection, it's a holy number.

00:31:38.380 Seven, seven which is a number of creation, seven days in the creation narrative.

00:31:43.940 Seven bullets in the state.

00:31:47.320 Why, if you were just, if you were just a crazy person, you know, if you were just an evil

00:31:53.200 person, just a mean old person, let's take evil out of it. 0.99

00:31:55.940 If you were just a nasty person with a gripe, why would you take a detour from the killing

00:32:02.040 to go into a church to symbolically shoot at the stained glass, to shoot at the symbol

00:32:08.620 of the first man, symbol of humanity itself, fallen humanity, to shoot seven times, this

00:32:14.580 very meaningful number, that then is reflected in the protests after this shooting, say seven,

00:32:20.580 seven, seven.

00:32:24.680 There's a spiritual aspect here.

00:32:27.720 You can't talk about human nature without talking about spiritual things.

00:32:31.340 I sometimes fear that I talk about spiritual things too much on this show, and I hope that

00:32:34.920 people's eyes don't glaze over, but unless we just want to be sitting here talking about

00:32:39.040 like, well, the GDP went up to a little bit today, and that's why we need occupational

00:32:42.600 licensing reform.

00:32:43.340 If you want to talk about politics in any way below the surface level, you have to talk about

00:32:49.860 spiritual things, because politics is about people.

00:32:52.540 Politics is about how people live together, and people are not primarily motivated by economics,

00:32:56.980 and people are not primarily motivated by luxury.

00:32:59.980 People are primarily motivated by deeper things, because we know that we are not only bodies,

00:33:06.960 but also souls, and we are made in the image and likeness of God, and we are in constant

00:33:12.740 spiritual warfare, and we know that we're tempted to do things, and we know the things

00:33:16.280 that we want to do, we very often do not do, and the things that we don't want to do, we

00:33:20.480 very often do, and it's hard to make sense of this.

00:33:23.260 It's impossible to make sense of this without a recognition of original sin, and it's hard to

00:33:27.300 make sense of what we're doing as a civilization without a recognition of the prospect of salvation,

00:33:32.060 and the fact that has animated our entire civilization, which is the incarnation, the

00:33:36.700 crucifixion, and the resurrection.

00:33:37.900 You can't make sense of the West.

00:33:40.360 You can't make any sense of America without talking about that kind of thing, and frankly,

00:33:45.280 you can't make sense of that shooting in Philadelphia, and how to figure out if you

00:33:49.600 had dark spirits following you, and you can't make sense of that shooting in Nashville,

00:33:53.160 and you can't figure out why a killer would go into a church and shoot a stained glass

00:33:56.860 image of Adam seven times.

00:34:00.580 That, you have to do that to understand anything about what's going on in the world, and the

00:34:07.120 other side of the aisle does its damnedest to ignore that, to evade that.

00:34:11.760 You're now seeing this out of the White House.

00:34:13.140 You want to talk about sexual pathologies and spiritual things.

00:34:15.980 Jen Psaki, who was the White House press secretary, now she has a show on MSNBC. 0.82

00:34:21.540 Jen Psaki is bringing to her political commentary all the glibness, all the shallowness and the

00:34:31.300 talking points that she brought to bear as the White House press secretary.

00:34:35.900 She's got a new line against conservatives, and it's on the conservatives who are talking

00:34:41.020 about social issues, and who are pointing out that certain groups in America don't really

00:34:46.660 like to go along with some of the radical social ideologies.

00:34:50.680 Well, she's bringing all of her sophistication to bear to say, this is a new line, write it

00:34:54.860 down, the GOP is racist.

00:34:59.060 Now, that's a bad look for her. 1.00

00:35:00.620 I think it's a bad look for the Democrats to use these stupid shallow lines.

00:36:13.020 My favorite comment yesterday is from Vox Humana to Abel, who says,

00:36:18.380 I love that Michael refuses to use a laptop during his show and still prints out every

00:36:22.220 single story.

00:36:22.920 I'm glad you love that.

00:36:24.100 I do it very intentionally.

00:36:25.460 I have since day one of this show.

00:36:27.300 I don't like being in front of a screen all day.

00:36:29.480 I think it makes me into a cyborg and makes me dumb, so I don't want to do that.

00:36:33.820 And I also don't like it when I'm in the audience.

00:36:36.400 I don't like watching people read off a screen.

00:36:39.820 To me, it seems kind of shifty.

00:36:41.760 You know, like people are getting updates the whole time, being told what to say by nefarious

00:36:45.360 powers, even if that's not really happening.

00:36:46.940 It's just, it's, I don't want to watch a speaker be totally plugged into the matrix.

00:36:51.380 Okay, I want good old-fashioned cards.

00:36:53.300 I want good old-fashioned articles printed.

00:36:55.240 I want real physical stuff that can't be updated.

00:36:59.360 This is why I buy physical books now.

00:37:01.220 I don't use my Kindle anymore.

00:37:02.820 I use my Kindle because the libs and the increasingly technologically sophisticated

00:37:07.940 powers that run our political order, they could just go in and edit books. 1.00

00:37:11.800 They do it all the time.

00:37:12.880 I don't want that.

00:37:13.440 I want the good old physical copies.

00:37:14.920 I recognize the trees are a renewable organic resource, and we need to make sure that we

00:37:18.780 cut them down and print stuff out, because otherwise they're going to turn those forests

00:37:22.600 into parking lots.

00:37:23.680 Now, is the GOP racist?

00:37:29.400 This is the charge from the libs for the last ever, forever, and they're still keeping it

00:37:36.780 up.

00:37:37.120 Jen Psaki making this claim on MSNBC.

00:37:40.260 So lately, I've been noticing the reemergence of a very old GOP playbook that harkens back

00:37:47.020 to President Richard Nixon's infamous Southern strategy.

00:37:50.800 During his campaign for president in 1968, the Republican Party made a concerted effort

00:37:55.520 to reach white Southerners, who used to vote for Democrats by playing to their fears of African

00:38:01.220 Americans and the civil rights movement.

00:38:03.640 And it worked.

00:38:04.800 By pitting one group of Americans against another, the GOP successfully managed to split off Southern

00:38:10.760 whites from the Democratic Party.

00:38:12.520 Now, decades later, the right wing is reviving that same playbook, this time with Muslim Americans 1.00

00:38:20.320 and trans people.

00:38:22.020 Hear me out here.

00:38:23.580 The GOP is trying to recruit Muslim Americans, a community that makes up less than 2% of the

00:38:29.540 U.S. population against another tiny, marginalized group of Americans, transgender people.

00:38:38.840 Oh, hold on.

00:38:40.660 Where's my pen?

00:38:42.200 I got to write that down.

00:38:43.360 What a fresh insight.

00:38:45.000 GOP racist.

00:38:46.760 Southern strategy.

00:38:48.260 He heard their term.

00:38:49.900 Good grief.

00:38:50.820 I mean, if this is what Jen Psaki is bringing to her role at MSNBC, they might as well just 1.00

00:38:57.280 play reruns of Rachel Maddow.

00:38:59.520 Rachel Maddow, actually, is much more interesting than these lesser commentators.

00:39:04.000 They might as well play reruns of, I don't know, Lawrence O'Donnell or Chris Hayes or Chris

00:39:07.920 Matthews.

00:39:08.500 It's all the same nonsense.

00:39:10.720 You could go back to an episode of MSNBC from 2006.

00:39:14.600 They'd be saying the exact same nonsense that Jen Psaki is saying here. 1.00

00:39:18.340 The GOP, they're splitting off.

00:39:21.880 They're doing it with it.

00:39:22.920 The GOP doesn't need to split Muslims off of the LGBT community, okay?

00:39:26.720 Muslims don't need Republican politicians to do that.

00:39:30.240 Muslims, it turns out, have their own beliefs.

00:39:33.200 They're real people.

00:39:34.720 They have intellect.

00:39:35.940 They have will.

00:39:37.040 They have a vision of the world that is not your vision, Jen Psaki and the liberals.

00:39:42.260 And much as you might like to dominate their vision and suppress their vision and substitute

00:39:49.860 out their understanding, their 1,400-year-old understanding of human nature in the world for

00:39:55.800 your much newer vintage of liberalism, you don't get to do that.

00:40:01.600 That's probably not going to happen.

00:40:03.080 And one aspect of Islam that Islam shares with Judaism and Christianity and many varieties

00:40:13.640 of virtuous paganism is an opprobrium for sexual eccentricity and deviancy.

00:40:22.900 And one thing that Islam shares with Judaism and Christianity and even virtuous paganism is an 0.97

00:40:32.760 understanding of human nature such that your soul is not in radical opposition to your body

00:40:41.620 at the level of sex and gender.

00:40:45.740 You don't need the GOP to do that.

00:40:47.680 But people have their own views.

00:40:53.200 But the liberals can't understand this.

00:40:56.000 The liberals, much as they malign colonialism, the liberals have a much more intensely colonial,

00:41:05.740 flattening, universalizing point of view than pretty much anyone else in the world, including

00:41:10.920 Christians. 0.51

00:41:12.460 Liberalism in many ways, it's not exactly a Christian heresy, but it is a,

00:41:17.680 perverted offshoot of Christianity.

00:41:20.200 It's why liberalism arises in the Christian West.

00:41:23.160 But it's a perversion and an inversion of Christianity in all sorts of ways. 0.97

00:41:27.620 And it makes a God out of man rather than having man recognize God as his one true God.

00:41:33.400 And it exalts the will of man above all else as opposed to Christianity, which says that man 0.96

00:41:39.480 needs to bring his own will into accord with right reason and reality and the will of God.

00:41:44.240 But it is kind of a weird little offshoot of Christianity.

00:41:50.000 And Christianity is a universalizing religion, right?

00:41:52.280 Christianity, the oldest flavor of Christianity is called the Catholic Church.

00:41:57.720 Catholic means universal.

00:41:59.580 Christianity makes claims for the whole world. 0.97

00:42:02.180 But it's not a globalism.

00:42:04.720 It's not a flattening claim.

00:42:06.080 It recognizes principles such as subsidiarity.

00:42:09.320 It recognizes the legitimacy of civil authority.

00:42:12.680 It respects custom and tradition.

00:42:16.040 It doesn't try to flatten everything.

00:42:17.820 There are all sorts of rights in Christianity.

00:42:19.840 There are all sorts of local flavors.

00:42:24.100 While at the same time, there being an insistence on one church with one vicar of Christ and

00:42:29.080 one holy sacrifice in the mass.

00:42:31.360 So, and one God, obviously.

00:42:33.780 Obviously, liberalism just takes all that particularism out.

00:42:38.680 It takes all that respect for local authority out.

00:42:40.800 Respect for tradition.

00:42:41.920 Respect for the civil authority.

00:42:46.220 Liberalism just rips all of that out and says, no, everybody's got to be exactly the same.

00:42:50.920 Not even down to this nation has to be indistinguishable from this nation.

00:42:55.240 Not even down to this race has to be indistinguishable from this race.

00:42:58.400 Down to this sex has to be indistinguishable from this sex. 0.99

00:43:00.800 Down to everything, it just flattens, it flattens it all.

00:43:05.540 Much, much more colonial than anything the Christians have ever done. 1.00

00:43:10.520 Now, speaking of MSNBC, I have got to get to this story.

00:43:15.760 Joy Reid.

00:43:17.620 Joy Reid, very upset by the Supreme Court's decision to get rid of affirmative action in 0.91

00:43:22.300 college admissions.

00:43:23.660 And Joy Reid's upset because she says without affirmative action, she never would have gotten 0.75

00:43:26.820 into Harvard.

00:43:27.920 Let me just be clear.

00:43:28.900 I got into Harvard only because of affirmative action.

00:43:32.000 I went to a school no one had ever heard of in Denver, Colorado, in a small suburb.

00:43:35.960 I didn't go to Exeter or Andover.

00:43:37.700 I didn't have college test prep.

00:43:39.280 I just happened to be really nerdy and smart and have really good grades and good SAT scores.

00:43:42.860 But someone came to Denver, Colorado to look for me.

00:43:46.660 A Harvard recruiter flew to Denver and I met up with her at the Village Inn restaurant and

00:43:52.660 did a pre-interview to get to pull me into Harvard.

00:43:56.220 I was pulled in and the schools like Harvard and Yale that I got into.

00:44:01.000 Affirmatively.

00:44:01.520 Yes.

00:44:01.760 And it was literally not saying we're going to take an unqualified person and put them

00:44:05.240 in Harvard.

00:44:05.940 We're going to take a very qualified person who we would never know existed and put them

00:44:11.480 in Harvard.

00:44:11.860 That's how I got there.

00:44:12.660 That's how Ketanji got there.

00:44:14.160 That's how Justice Jackson, I should say.

00:44:16.160 Justice Jackson got there.

00:44:17.180 I didn't know that Joy Reid had gone to Harvard and this explains that.

00:44:23.580 Her explanation of how she got into Harvard explains why I didn't know from her commentary

00:44:29.600 that she was educated at Harvard.

00:44:32.080 And that's underscored by the fact that she doesn't even know what affirmative action is. 0.73

00:44:36.460 She says, I didn't get into Harvard because I was given an unfair advantage because I was

00:44:40.240 unqualified.

00:44:40.840 But then I was given an artificial boost and then I was allowed in.

00:44:43.460 That's not, no.

00:44:44.180 No, that's not affirmative action.

00:44:46.700 Yes, it is.

00:44:47.280 That is what affirmative action is.

00:44:49.540 Affirmative action is you have two students.

00:44:53.400 One is white, one is black.

00:44:55.440 Let's say they have the same test scores.

00:44:56.820 The black person gets in, the white person doesn't. 0.98

00:44:58.820 Or more often is the case, white person has one test score, a black person has a lower 0.93

00:45:04.360 test score.

00:45:05.240 The black person will still get in. 1.00

00:45:07.020 Such is the advantage.

00:45:08.580 That's not just true of black and white.

00:45:10.060 It's the white people will be punished primarily, but also the Asian students will be punished 1.00

00:45:14.760 and the black people will be given an advantage.

00:45:17.180 But also, to some degree, Hispanics, to a great degree, Native Americans, though there

00:45:21.600 just aren't that many Native Americans in America anymore.

00:45:24.420 So it's this weight of giving people who are less qualified an advantage.

00:45:31.060 She says, no, affirmative action just means that Harvard discovered that Denver exists.

00:45:34.900 You think Harvard University didn't know that Denver exists?

00:45:39.180 Yeah, oh wow.

00:45:40.720 Ever since affirmative action was passed into law, listen, fellows of Harvard College,

00:45:45.160 we've discovered there's a state called Colorado.

00:45:47.200 Did you know that?

00:45:48.040 And now we're going to send emissaries out there to find people.

00:45:51.160 What are you talking about?

00:45:53.980 What on earth are you talking about?

00:45:56.160 Colleges have always recruited people.

00:45:58.900 Colleges have always accepted applications from all over the country.

00:46:02.440 If Joy Reid got into Harvard because she had a perfect SAT score and she was valedictorian

00:46:09.260 of her class and she was really a seriously highly educated, highly intelligent, qualified

00:46:15.120 person, a lot of big ifs over here, then she didn't get in because of affirmative action. 1.00

00:46:20.600 She got in based on her strength and qualifications.

00:46:24.980 If maybe she didn't have that perfect SAT score, and I don't know what her SAT score was. 0.88

00:46:30.700 If maybe she wasn't the valedictorian of her class, if maybe she wasn't as qualified as

00:46:35.440 other people, then she did get in because of affirmative action. 1.00

00:46:39.220 And she might say, well, it's good.

00:46:40.740 I damn well want to get into Harvard and it's good for me to get in for X, Y, and Z reason.

00:46:45.000 Okay, maybe she can make somewhat convincing arguments. 0.71

00:46:47.580 But the flip side of that is that someone who was more qualified did not get in because

00:46:54.740 she was given that advantage.

00:46:56.340 You can't have an unfair advantage for one person without an unfair disadvantage for another

00:47:02.440 person.

00:47:03.140 And maybe Joy Reid would say, because Joy Reid has expressed certain antipathy toward white

00:47:07.400 people in her commentary, maybe she might say, well, that's a good thing that white students 0.97

00:47:11.280 are disadvantaged.

00:47:12.340 Well, what about the Asian students?

00:47:13.760 This is where the liberals really fell into a trap here on affirmative action because had

00:47:19.200 it just been an unjust discrimination against white people, given our liberal regime, they 0.96

00:47:23.520 probably would have gotten away with it.

00:47:24.700 Doesn't make it fair, doesn't make it right, but they probably would have gotten away with

00:47:27.040 it.

00:47:27.400 But it's really hard to make the claim about aggrieved, oppressed, racial minorities being

00:47:33.240 discriminated against when your policy discriminates against another racial minority.

00:47:39.640 So big, big loser.

00:47:41.580 And now people such as Joy Reid won't even be able to go to Harvard and not receive an

00:47:47.740 education, much like Joy Reid.

00:47:50.280 Today is Woke Thursday.

00:47:53.060 I thought that was Woke Wednesday.

00:47:54.140 No, there's another one, there's a history lesson from TikTok that Mr. Davies wants me

00:47:58.280 to get to, so we'll get to it today.
