The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1283 - Sound Of Freedom Movie Rocks Hollywood To Its Core

00:00:00.000 I've always been skeptical of the notion that the liberal media are full of pedos,

00:00:05.560 until I saw the mad vitriol with which the media have been attacking Jim Caviezel's new movie

00:00:11.720 about child sex trafficking, The Sound of Freedom.

00:00:15.960 This film is being marketed to either specific QAnon believers or to people who believe all of

00:00:22.280 the same tenets as QAnon, but claim they don't know what it is.

00:00:25.900 And The Sound of Freedom does focus on a real issue of sex trafficking.

00:00:31.420 But that theme, it's sort of like that kernel of truth that feeds the QAnon conspiracy theory. 0.90

00:00:38.860 Tell us how those two things work together.

00:00:43.640 Sure. And the most durable and the most believable conspiracy theories are not entirely false.

00:00:48.740 There's something in them that is true and the rest of it is false.

00:00:52.340 But the believers point to the one true thing and they say, oh, you don't believe that this particular thing is true.

00:00:57.280 In terms of child trafficking, we know trafficking is real.

00:01:00.100 We know it has real victims. No one is denying that.

00:01:02.820 But these films are created out of moral panics.

00:01:06.220 They're created out of bogus statistics.

00:01:08.380 They're created out of fear.

00:01:09.900 And with something like Sound of Freedom, it specifically is looking at QAnon concepts of these

00:01:14.740 child trafficking rings that are run by the high-level elites.

00:01:19.220 The QAnon, QAnon, QAnon.

00:01:21.400 The libs are furious.

00:01:22.720 The movie hit over $18 million in its box office opening six days ago.

00:01:27.020 It's already grossed over $40 million within a week.

00:01:30.060 It is a certified hit.

00:01:32.060 So desperate to convince people to stop seeing it,

00:01:35.400 the media are now trying to link the movie to QAnon.

00:01:39.720 Washington Post, quote,

00:01:41.080 Sound of Freedom is a box office hit whose star embraces QAnon.

00:01:45.620 The Guardian, Sound of Freedom, the QAnon-adjacent thriller seducing America. 1.00

00:01:53.540 And Rolling Stone, Sound of Freedom is a superhero movie for dads with brain worms.

00:01:58.440 The QAnon-tinged thriller about child trafficking is designed to appeal to the conscience of a 0.96

00:02:05.880 conspiracy-addled boomer.

00:02:08.000 Now, I don't know much about QAnon.

00:02:11.500 The only people I ever hear really talk about QAnon are the liberal media.

00:02:16.400 I run in lots of conservative circles all over the country.

00:02:19.880 I don't hear about it.

00:02:21.020 I turn on CNN for five seconds.

00:02:23.120 It's all they talk about.

00:02:24.340 But what's really strange about this coverage is that the movie is based on a true story.

00:02:31.920 It's the story of how a real guy, Tim Ballard, rescued kids from sex trafficking.

00:02:36.920 So the libs are saying that a true story, an indisputably true story, is QAnon-adjacent. 0.73

00:02:45.620 Which means some people really do believe in QAnon.

00:02:50.080 The liberal media, who spent the whole weekend inadvertently insisting that the theory is true.

00:02:57.560 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:02:58.400 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:03:06.200 Welcome back to the show.

00:03:07.620 What a weekend.

00:03:08.160 We saw the criminal complaint against the anarchists who tried to blow me up at Pittsburgh.

00:03:14.160 I was hosting a, or I was appearing at a campus event at the University of Pittsburgh.

00:03:18.840 There was lots of madness around it, and the school tried to shut it down, and the legislators tried to shut it down.

00:03:23.960 And I knew that there were some wackos on the streets setting me on fire and effigy and all that kind of stuff. 1.00

00:03:29.200 I didn't realize until I read this criminal complaint from the DOJ just how serious it was.

00:03:36.320 So we'll get to that in one second.

00:03:38.340 First, though, I don't want to move on too fast from the liberal fury that Jim Caviezel and Tim Ballard are exposing pedo rings.

00:03:47.940 Because they're saying it's all a crazy conspiracy theory.

00:03:51.640 It's the QAnon, about which I know pretty much nothing.

00:03:55.100 QAnon, from what I can tell, is this crazy conspiracy theory that there is an elite pedophile ring that involves some of the wealthiest and most influential people in the world.

00:04:08.960 And just apropos of nothing, here is an interview that has recently come out from one of Jeffrey Epstein's victims.

00:04:17.400 I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me.

00:04:28.960 I was raped repeatedly. 0.96

00:04:30.260 I was raped three times a day sometimes. 0.96

00:04:33.060 And I was not the only girl on that island. 0.95

00:04:35.780 There was a constant stream of girls being raped over and over and over again. 0.99

00:04:41.440 And, yeah, Ski Lane must die in prison because I've been in hell and back for the last 17 years. 0.99

00:04:50.960 And 27 for me.

00:04:53.100 I was 10 years old when Liz Stein was being trafficked.

00:04:57.620 I was 10.

00:04:59.180 That is how long the sex trafficking ring has been going on for.

00:05:02.800 What is the claim of the liberal media here?

00:05:07.400 They just slapped this label, QAnon, QAnon, whatever that is, the thing that you've only ever heard about from the liberal media.

00:05:14.380 But what are they actually saying?

00:05:17.920 They're denying the existence of sex trafficking?

00:05:22.940 No, you heard the CNN lady admit no sex trafficking is a real problem. 1.00

00:05:26.020 Are they denying the existence of elite sex trafficking rings?

00:05:29.340 They probably are because the liberal media tried to kill the Jeffrey Epstein story.

00:05:32.360 But we know the Jeffrey Epstein story is real.

00:05:34.820 We know that Jeffrey Epstein was palling around with the most powerful people on earth.

00:05:38.780 Prime ministers, presidents, royalty, major financiers, heads of industry.

00:05:46.260 We know that he had his own James Bond villain-esque private island in the Caribbean where he was bringing an endless slew of young girls.

00:05:53.420 He was partnering with major modeling head honchos and bringing these young girls through the island to engage in weird sex stuff with the most influential people in the world.

00:06:04.280 So then we know that Jeffrey Epstein was arrested and mysteriously killed himself after multiple cameras malfunctioned and multiple jail employees just forgot to do their job or fell asleep on the job.

00:06:15.320 Now, what's the conspiracy theory?

00:06:19.920 Here's the only conspiracy that we haven't really solved yet.

00:06:25.820 All of it is so far in the open.

00:06:27.380 The question is, who's in Jeffrey Epstein's black book?

00:06:31.400 Isn't that kind of weird?

00:06:32.300 Isn't it weird that we started to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein, we did prosecute Ghislaine Maxwell, and we still don't know who his clients were?

00:06:38.280 Don't expect to hear about that on the liberal media.

00:06:43.160 We're not even talking about a regular sex trafficking ring like you see in the Sound of Freedom movie, which is a very good movie, by the way.

00:06:48.280 I watched the movie in an advanced screener.

00:06:49.840 It's very good.

00:06:50.740 I'm not surprised that it's doing huge box office numbers.

00:06:53.680 Not surprised that the libs hate it so much.

00:06:56.720 But I'm, no, I guess I am surprised that they hate it.

00:06:59.020 So I'm not surprised that they hate it.

00:07:00.180 I'm surprised they hate it so much.

00:07:01.540 I'm surprised that they are willing to show their hand this much, that they're not only willing to cover for Jeffrey Epstein and downplay that story and kill that story when different reporters wanted to bring it to public attention.

00:07:13.880 But now they're trying to downplay the existence of sex trafficking entirely.

00:07:18.300 They're saying, oh, that's QAnon.

00:07:20.380 That's QAnon.

00:07:22.580 Maybe everything that people have said about the liberal media, maybe it's right.

00:07:27.160 Now, when you want to protect your society as things fall apart, you want to protect your wealth, you've got to check out Birch Gold.

00:08:40.300 Text NOLS, K-N-W-L-E-S, to 989898.

00:08:44.540 Major culture win for the right.

00:08:46.120 This movie, Sound of Freedom.

00:08:47.200 Another major culture win for the right.

00:08:48.540 The hits just keep on coming for Bud Light.

00:08:52.260 Transheiser Bush.

00:08:53.640 Bud Light is now out of the top 10 American beers.

00:08:57.540 Took another hit in the ratings.

00:08:58.920 There was a YouGov survey of the top 10 beers in America.

00:09:02.380 Bud Light had previously been number nine.

00:09:05.300 So it was the number one best-selling beer in America.

00:09:08.140 And then in popular opinion, it was the number nine favorite beer.

00:09:11.920 It's now dropped down to 14.

00:09:13.600 It hasn't bottomed out yet.

00:09:14.800 But I think we're going to have to introduce a segment on this show, which is the Bud Light update.

00:09:19.360 Because Bud Light thought they could weather the storm.

00:09:21.580 It would take a week or two.

00:09:22.560 Their market cap would drop.

00:09:24.020 But then they would rebound.

00:09:25.320 No big deal.

00:09:26.020 They wouldn't have to apologize.

00:09:27.060 They wouldn't have to address anything.

00:09:28.320 They could just blow past their embracing of transgenderism. 0.99

00:09:32.140 And that hasn't happened.

00:09:33.340 Bud Light continues to drop in sales, in popularity.

00:09:38.340 It hasn't bottomed out yet.

00:09:39.780 So we're going to have to introduce this new segment.

00:09:41.760 And we probably will have to do it off of YouTube, because you're not allowed to talk about important issues on YouTube anymore.

00:09:49.400 So maybe we'll have to do it over at Daily Wire Plus.

00:09:51.500 If you're not a member there, if you're not watching at the YouTube channel, or rather at the Twitter channel, make sure you do that.

00:09:57.800 At M. Knowles Show.

00:09:59.500 Now, speaking of wins, we've got some legal wins, too.

00:10:02.200 Also on the topic of transgenderism.

00:10:05.020 Tennessee passes a law saying you can't trans the kids.

00:10:07.740 You can't pump them full of puberty blockers.

00:10:09.240 You can't sterilize them.

00:10:10.340 You can't chop their body parts off.

00:10:11.420 Seems like basic stuff.

00:10:12.880 There was a court that then came in and said, absolutely not. 0.95

00:10:15.820 I'm going to put a stay on this law, this evil transphobic law, because our Constitution protects the sacred right of seven-year-olds to chop off their genitals. 0.92

00:10:25.660 Our James Madison, he framed our Constitution. 0.94

00:10:29.380 The founding fathers fought the Revolutionary War for the right of creepy parents and sexual predator teachers to trans the little kids.

00:10:41.520 That's what we fought the Revolution for.

00:10:42.940 So, he issues a stay on the law.

00:10:45.660 Well, now an appeals court has overturned the injunction against the Tennessee law, prohibiting the transing of kids.

00:10:51.780 Is that enough layers for you?

00:10:53.060 Are you confused enough yet?

00:10:54.640 U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled against that preliminary injunction.

00:10:59.340 They came out and they said, and this was after the AG in Tennessee, Jonathan Scrimetti, who's a terrific AG.

00:11:08.160 He filed a motion for an emergency stay.

00:11:09.800 He says, if the injunction remains in place during the appeal, Tennessee will suffer irreparable harm from its inability to enforce the will of its legislature to further the public health considerations undergirding the law and to avoid irreversible health risks to children.

00:11:24.480 This is according to Chief Judge Jeffrey Sutton, who's a Bush appointee, who wrote, Tennessee is likely to succeed on its appeal of the preliminary injunction.

00:11:32.720 So, obviously, the Tennessee legislators have a right to say, hey, you're not allowed to turn seven-year-olds into eunuchs, right?

00:11:39.980 Obviously, they have that right.

00:11:42.140 This liberal activist judge wielded his power to say, no, you don't, completely against certainly the natural law, but even against the fair reading of the constitutional law and the civil law.

00:11:53.080 And now this appeals judge comes in and says, no, we're going to overturn your injunction.

00:11:58.660 It's just a reminder that we've got to wield power.

00:12:02.500 It's a reminder that we've got to win elections so that we can appoint judges so we can wield power.

00:12:07.180 Because I remember back in the Tea Party era when I was coming up in politics, I remember a lot of idealistic young conservatives.

00:12:14.620 We believed that if we just read the Constitution clearly enough, if we just persuaded our fellow citizens with a sufficiently winsome and articulate argument about what the Constitution really says and means, that they would just go along with it.

00:12:31.520 But they won't.

00:12:32.180 They're going to respond to power.

00:12:34.220 And the way you get power is you win elections and then you fire your opponents and your enemies and you fill those positions with your allies and people who are on the right side of things.

00:12:44.840 And that's what we're seeing here.

00:12:46.860 A Bush appointed, had George W. Bush not won the 2000 election or maybe the 2004 election, I don't know which administration he was appointed in.

00:12:57.280 But certainly at least the 2000, we wouldn't have gotten this judge and probably kids would continue to be trans today. 0.98

00:13:03.700 These effects are much longer term than a lot of us often think about.

00:13:08.160 Speaking of major cultural shifts, this is really great news.

00:13:14.080 It's coming out of NBC.

00:13:16.240 Headline, conservative influencers are pushing an anti-birth control message.

00:13:22.020 Alarmist statements about hormonal birth control go viral on social media, but experts say they're not showing the full picture.

00:13:28.160 Who are the experts?

00:13:29.160 Because the conservative influencers who are pushing the anti-birth control message, I'm sorry to say I'm not included in this article.

00:13:35.760 I wish I'm pushing an anti-birth control message, but I'm not included in the article.

00:13:40.080 And the reason is the article is focused almost entirely on women.

00:13:44.460 Focusing on Alex Clark over there at TPUSA.

00:13:48.980 Focusing on Ashley St. Clair, who's a conservative influencer.

00:13:53.100 Focusing on, let's see, how many others?

00:13:55.140 I won't go through and reread the entire article.

00:13:57.680 But focusing on a lot of these conservative gals who are saying, yeah, I was on birth control. 0.96

00:14:03.100 I'm not being specific to Alex Clark and Ashley St. Clair.

00:14:06.160 I don't know about their specific experience with birth control.

00:14:08.240 But there are a lot of conservative women who say, I was on birth control and it messed me up. 0.98

00:14:12.200 And I went kind of crazy and maybe I had fertility problems as a result of it.

00:14:15.320 And the more studies I read about this, the more I realize that there are serious risks to birth control.

00:14:18.980 And I promise you, if you're listening to this show right now, you've either experienced this or you at the very least know somebody who's experienced these kind of questions and who are now raising doubts about birth control.

00:14:32.140 And the libs hate this.

00:14:34.380 The libs hate that we're moving toward a less contraceptive society. 0.99

00:14:41.000 And it's not just on the pill or the patch or the devices that young girls are persuaded to insert into themselves so that they can be used by men to have casual sex without getting married, without having children, without any consequences for it.

00:14:55.160 It's beyond mere birth control.

00:14:59.160 The same people who are furious that conservative women are pushing against birth control are also furious that the Supreme Court made it a little bit harder to kill babies through abortion.

00:15:10.220 They're the same people who are pushing euthanasia for the elderly and the poor and the homeless and the mentally ill.

00:15:18.960 They're the same people who are pushing the sterilization of children through all these eunuch-making procedures that they call transgenderism. 1.00

00:15:27.780 It's all the same thing.

00:15:29.340 And I can't help but notice the end is always the same, which is fewer people.

00:15:34.640 Because these guys, the leftists, the sexual revolutionaries, who are pushing all of these social pathologies, they just seem to hate people.

00:15:47.360 Or at the very least, they're being used by vessels of entities that hate people.

00:15:52.060 It's always the same end.

00:15:54.320 And it's a reminder for conservatives.

00:15:56.220 You know, there were a lot of conservatives who would argue, and pro-lifers.

00:15:59.120 They would say, look, we just want to end abortion.

00:16:03.080 We're not going to touch contraception.

00:16:05.040 We're not going to touch, I don't know, artificial insemination.

00:16:10.160 We're not going to touch IVF.

00:16:11.520 We're not going to touch surrogacy.

00:16:12.720 We're not going to touch this, that, or the other thing.

00:16:14.700 And I understand tactically why they say the killing of babies in the womb is much more urgent and dire and dangerous than these other issues.

00:16:23.620 But you can't neatly separate all of these issues.

00:16:27.740 It's all of a piece with the sexual revolution.

00:16:31.480 The culture that treats sex very casually, and that suggests that we have a right to sex, absent the consequence of pregnancy, is going to be a culture that's more likely to engage in abortion.

00:16:42.360 The culture that embraces radical individualism and selfishness and libertinism in one area of sexual matters is going to embrace it in another, and that's going to result in abortion.

00:16:52.540 And furthermore, we're all complaining about the pride movement, and the pride movement has become much less popular than it used to be.

00:17:00.920 You're seeing this in a drop Gallup polling, and the values survey that it gives out showed a significant drop in support for the pride coalition in just one year.

00:17:09.480 So a lot of people are turning on it.

00:17:10.940 A lot of mothers, a lot of parents in schools.

00:17:13.960 That's how Glenn Youngkin won in Virginia.

00:17:15.420 That's how Ron DeSantis won in Florida.

00:17:16.900 Well, I think people now are beginning to look back, and they're saying, look, it's not just transing the kids, it's transgenderism more broadly.

00:17:24.380 This was the point of my CPEC speech.

00:17:25.820 And it's not just transgenderism, it's the redefinition of marriage. 0.84

00:17:28.420 And it's not just the redefinition of marriage, it's the whole way that we view sex.

00:17:34.260 Why did Gallup show a seven-point drop in support for same-sex relations of any kind?

00:17:37.860 Because people are beginning to pull on the thread of transing the kids and realizing that because ideas have consequences, bad consequences come from bad ideas. 0.63

00:17:46.120 And so they're going all the way back, and forget redefining marriage or whatever.

00:17:49.360 You go all the way back to the beginning of the sexual revolution, and you go all the way back to contraception. 0.78

00:17:55.100 There were two cases, Eisenstadt and Griswold.

00:17:57.640 First was Griswold in 1965, then Eisenstadt comes around in 1972, the year before Roe v. Wade.

00:18:02.960 And Griswold finds a right to condoms within a marriage.

00:18:06.180 Where is that in the Constitution?

00:18:07.680 I have no idea, but some libs on the court discovered that magically in 1965.

00:18:11.620 But they said, but there is no right to condoms outside of marriage.

00:18:14.520 Then seven years later, the court discovers, oh, actually there was more invisible ink in the Constitution, and actually there is a right to condoms outside of marriage.

00:18:21.240 Okay, maybe you like condoms, maybe you don't like condoms.

00:18:23.680 I don't know where you're going to find that in the Constitution.

00:18:26.260 I think a lot of people are beginning to notice that the contraceptive mentality is the beginning of the pride mentality.

00:18:33.680 Because the contraceptive mentality divorces sex from the consequences of sex.

00:18:39.460 It introduces a sterile sexual ethic, which is exactly what gave us the pride movement. 0.99

00:18:48.400 There's no distinction here. 0.98

00:18:50.260 If you can't read between the lines, the conclusion that one draws is that condoms are kind of gay. 0.97

00:18:57.520 To put it as bluntly as possible, okay? 0.50

00:19:00.000 And it's not a coincidence that female conservative influencers, noticed by NBC News, are beginning to pick up on that. 0.99

00:19:11.760 Bad ideas can have a very long run, but eventually, and this is the conservative consolation, reality reasserts itself in the end.

00:19:22.880 And people are beginning to realize, okay, if I don't like this insane, anarchistic view of sex that is totally self-centered and divorced from any ends whatsoever,

00:19:33.800 well, then maybe I've got to rewind it and ask, well, what is the point of sex?

00:19:39.600 Which is why it's not going to be the patriarchy that's coming for your consequence-free birth control.

00:19:47.240 It's not going to be the men.

00:19:49.260 The men, frankly, are huge supporters of birth control and contraception because it allows them to have consequence-free sex.

00:19:56.420 It's going to be those conservative women. 1.00

00:19:58.540 That's who's coming for it.

00:19:59.740 NBC News is right to be worried.

00:22:22.940 Today, speaking of the sexual revolution, major pop culture story that I am being forced to know about, because that's how social media works.

00:22:34.020 I would not, I barely know who Jonah Hill is.

00:22:39.120 I did not know that Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen were different people until about three years ago.

00:22:45.000 And they're different people now.

00:22:46.360 Seth Rogen's a huge lib.

00:22:47.280 Jonah Hill, I assume, is a big lib, too.

00:22:49.540 But I actually think, based on the leaked text messages, they're creating a huge Hollywood tempest in a teapot.

00:22:59.160 Jonah Hill might be one of the most normal people in Hollywood.

00:23:02.400 What came out was a series of private text messages leaked by Jonah Hill's ex-girlfriend portraying him as an emotionally abusive monster.

00:23:12.700 This, after Jonah Hill announces that he's had a baby with his girlfriend.

00:23:19.280 So he's not married.

00:23:20.080 He should marry his girlfriend. 0.97

00:23:21.860 They've just had a baby.

00:23:23.080 And this ex-girlfriend of something like two years ago releases text messages.

00:23:27.360 And this is what she says is an example of emotional abuse.

00:23:31.760 Jonah texts her and says, quote,

00:23:33.960 Plain and simple, if you need surfing with men, boundary-less, inappropriate friendships with men,

00:23:39.940 to model, to post pictures of yourself in a bathing suit, to post sexual pictures,

00:23:43.520 friendships with women who are in unstable places and from your wild recent past beyond getting a lunch or coffee or something respectful,

00:23:49.840 I'm not the right partner for you.

00:23:51.180 If these things bring you to a place of happiness, I support it and there will be no hard feelings.

00:23:55.500 These are my boundaries for romantic partnership.

00:23:57.580 My boundaries with you based on the ways these actions have hurt our trust.

00:24:03.960 That's it.

00:24:06.720 That's the example of an emotionally abusive man.

00:24:10.580 This is one of the most mature romantic treatises I've read in our entire popular media.

00:24:18.100 It's not perfect.

00:24:18.840 I don't like the idea of talking about romance as a partnership.

00:24:21.740 We're in a partnership.

00:24:23.200 And I don't like the idea of divorcing romance from the end of marriage and children and all the rest of it.

00:24:27.820 But what he's saying here is, yeah, look, if you want to have boundary-less, inappropriate friendships with men, I don't like that.

00:24:36.120 I'm going to be a little bit jealous, just as you would be jealous of me if I had inappropriate, boundary-less relationships with women.

00:24:42.240 And I don't like the idea that you've got to post skimpy pictures of yourself on the internet.

00:24:46.960 If you want to do that, you can go do that.

00:24:48.340 I won't be angry at you, but that's not going to work for me.

00:24:52.520 And if we're going to move towards something like marriage, I just don't want my wife to be doing that.

00:24:58.440 And I don't want you to put yourself in the near occasion of sin.

00:25:03.460 And I wouldn't do that myself either.

00:25:05.480 And I'm not yelling at you.

00:25:07.040 I'm not being angry.

00:25:07.960 I'm not threatening you in any way.

00:25:09.680 You can go your own way.

00:25:10.560 It'll be totally fine.

00:25:11.820 I'm just telling you that's where I am.

00:25:15.180 That's very reasonable.

00:25:18.340 That's the only thing that he hasn't done is he, he, he should man up even further and say,

00:25:24.320 by the way, here's my, this is my framework, not only for a relationship, but for marriage.

00:25:31.120 And then we can get married and we can do what married couples do.

00:25:33.260 And we can have kids and have a nice family and it'll be a good life.

00:25:36.780 Totally, totally right.

00:25:38.700 She responds to all of this.

00:25:40.720 And she says, I hope my ex, Jonah Hill, has a daughter.

00:25:44.640 Maybe she'll turn him into a real feminist. 1.00

00:25:46.780 Because the fact that he calls himself a feminist now is laughable.

00:25:49.820 And she, that's the one part she's right about.

00:25:51.880 Jonah Hill is obviously not a feminist. 1.00

00:25:53.720 He might pretend to be a feminist. 1.00

00:25:55.020 He might dress up like a lib and use the language of a lib.

00:25:57.760 But he's not, he's not a feminist.

00:25:59.480 He's a, he's a relatively normal guy.

00:26:02.240 His ex-girlfriend obviously is a feminist. 1.00

00:26:05.000 Feminism is wrong. 1.00

00:26:06.820 You should reject it.

00:26:07.900 Men, women, anybody in between that supposedly exists nowadays.

00:26:12.520 Reject it.

00:26:13.100 It's just, the problem with feminism is not that it gives women too much power or whatever. 1.00

00:26:18.540 Feminism doesn't give women any power. 1.00

00:26:20.360 It deprives women of their power. 1.00

00:26:21.580 It's just wrong.

00:26:22.620 The problem with feminism, as is the problem with so many modern ideologies,

00:26:28.140 is that it posits a false anthropology.

00:26:32.500 A false conception of human nature.

00:26:35.140 And so when conservatives invade against feminism, it's not because we hate women, quite the opposite.

00:26:40.200 It's because we love women. 1.00

00:26:41.440 And it doesn't even come from any sort of passion or any sort of personal desire or anything like that.

00:26:47.320 It comes from a rational deduction and empirical observation of human nature.

00:26:55.160 And saying, oh, feminism says a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. 1.00

00:26:59.860 Feminism says that women and men are pretty much the same. 1.00

00:27:01.920 And I just know that that isn't true. 0.96

00:27:04.060 And so if you pursue feminism, you're going to be miserable and unhappy like Jonah Hill's ex-girlfriend. 1.00

00:27:09.860 And if you don't pursue feminism and you pursue normal life, 1.00

00:27:14.360 and you recognize that the sexes are complementary rather than indiscernible,

00:27:18.340 you're going to have a better life.

00:27:19.540 Who seems to be doing better right now?

00:27:20.860 Jonah Hill or the ex-girlfriend?

00:27:22.500 The rest of my case.

00:27:23.240 Now, speaking of wars, not just wars between the sexes, but wars around the world,

00:27:30.020 the Biden administration has decided to send cluster bombs to Ukraine.

00:27:34.860 What are cluster bombs?

00:27:36.060 A lot of people don't know what it is.

00:27:37.560 And the moment that any novel or somewhat obscure concept hits the headlines,

00:27:43.860 all of a sudden everybody's an expert on it.

00:27:45.680 They're all armchair experts who attended Naval War College or something like that.

00:27:49.300 Cluster bombs are a particularly dangerous type of munition that will blanket a space with explosives that have a fairly high fail rate.

00:28:03.280 And so what that means is, if you drop a bunch of cluster munitions all over the countryside,

00:28:07.800 a lot of them might not go off.

00:28:09.040 And so even years after the close of a conflict, you're going to have a lot of civilians and farmers and travelers getting blown up by these kinds of munitions.

00:28:17.720 This is why Jen Psaki, last year as White House press secretary, suggested that cluster bombs might constitute a war crime.

00:28:27.900 There are reports of illegal cluster bombs and vacuum bombs being used by the Russians.

00:28:34.040 If that's true, what is the next step of this administration?

00:28:37.660 And is there a red line for how much violence will be tolerated against civilians in this manner that's illegal and potentially a war crime?

00:28:48.980 It is. It would be.

00:28:49.880 I don't have any confirmation of that.

00:28:51.380 We have seen the reports.

00:28:52.560 If that were true, it would potentially be a war crime. 0.83

00:28:55.460 Obviously, there are a range of international fora that would assess that.

00:29:00.560 So certainly we would look to that to be a part of that conversation.

00:29:04.740 So cluster bombs intrinsically might constitute a war crime.

00:29:12.480 And when Jen Psaki was asked about that, it was in the context, the hypothetical of Russia using cluster bombs.

00:29:19.440 Oh, yes, that might very well be a war crime. 0.92

00:29:21.480 Now we are sending cluster bombs to Ukraine. 0.77

00:29:25.980 That's not that's not either Joe Biden is admitting that he's a war criminal or we're saying, no, no, when we do it, it's not a war crime.

00:29:34.680 And the most honest liberals, the most honest proponents of the war in Ukraine are going to make that argument.

00:29:40.500 They're going to say it's a war crime when Russia does this type of thing.

00:29:43.700 But it's not a war crime when America does this type of thing.

00:29:47.240 And it's probably going to be a difficult argument to make, but maybe somebody can make it.

00:29:51.360 We need that kind of clarity.

00:29:53.520 This has been a major shift in politics in my lifetime.

00:29:58.820 It's been a reckoning with American foreign policy that was pretty much on autopilot since World War II.

00:30:04.520 And finally, now, people on the left and on the right are beginning to look at it a little bit more consciously.

00:30:11.300 Donald Trump did a lot of that.

00:30:12.760 Donald Trump was the first Republican, first major Republican presidential candidate in my lifetime, who said the war in Iraq was a bad idea.

00:30:20.460 Now, you might defend George Bush in the war in Iraq.

00:30:22.720 You might say, well, he didn't know.

00:30:24.000 Our intelligence told us that Saddam Hussein was producing weapons of mass destruction.

00:30:28.840 The intelligence community got it wrong.

00:30:30.840 This, that, or the other thing.

00:30:31.800 You might say it was the right decision to be made at the time, albeit perhaps on bad information.

00:30:36.580 Some people, I mean, some of the real hardcore neocons will still defend it even with the bad information.

00:30:42.300 But when you, when you look at the war in Iraq, it was the United States aggressing, right?

00:30:52.380 We invaded a country based on what turned out to be a mostly false pretext.

00:30:58.940 When you look at Libya, the invasion of Libya, with the support of NATO in Iraq and in Libya,

00:31:06.960 we just invaded a country because we didn't like what they were doing.

00:31:09.720 Libya wasn't threatening the United States.

00:31:11.300 Libya wasn't threatening NATO nations.

00:31:13.720 This wasn't an Article 5 invasion.

00:31:15.780 We just went in because we didn't like the guy.

00:31:17.260 We invaded that country. 0.98

00:31:19.460 Now, fast forward to the war in Ukraine.

00:31:21.240 Vladimir Putin's justification for invading Ukraine was that Ukraine is cozying up to NATO.

00:31:28.200 Ukraine wants to join NATO.

00:31:29.280 NATO's going to let them in. 1.00

00:31:30.080 By the way, that's happening now.

00:31:31.640 There's a major push to let Ukraine into NATO.

00:31:35.160 And there's a major push to let Ukraine into the European Union and all the rest of it.

00:31:39.400 And Putin said, we can't tolerate this.

00:31:41.560 We can't have NATO right up on our border, especially in the breadbasket of Europe, Ukraine, 0.99

00:31:45.520 because NATO is an aggressive organization that seeks to harm Russia's national interest.

00:31:52.120 Now, all the NATO supporters said, well, that's not true.

00:31:56.180 NATO is a defensive alliance.

00:31:58.100 We're only here to defend ourselves.

00:31:59.580 We would never start a war.

00:32:00.680 We would never aggress.

00:32:01.460 We would never invade without a sufficient predicate for invasion.

00:32:04.460 And then Vladimir Putin can point to Libya.

00:32:07.860 And then Vladimir Putin can point to Iraq.

00:32:09.880 Vladimir Putin can point to Kuwait.

00:32:11.000 Vladimir Putin can point to all sorts of places and say, or Kosovo, rather, and say,

00:32:16.320 no, you guys have been aggressors.

00:32:19.920 You guys have been a little more active than you're pretending to have been.

00:32:25.220 And NATO doesn't have very much to say about that.

00:32:28.320 It's a healthy thing to ask every once in a while, are we the baddies?

00:32:31.360 I don't think necessarily we are.

00:32:35.140 You've got to have that healthy sense.

00:32:36.700 And this is why, by the way, the Trump side of the GOP scored.

00:32:43.020 This is why Barack Obama beat Hillary Clinton, because Barack Obama opposed the war in Iraq.

00:32:47.460 Hillary still defended the war in Iraq.

00:32:49.880 There is a major, not just left or right, it's a populist movement that is reconsidering American foreign policy.

00:32:58.420 And so you've got the many people who are opposed to foreign adventurism versus the elite,

00:33:05.380 who have a lot more political influence than the many.

00:33:07.840 This is why Tucker Carlson, who's the most prominent member, was, until he got fired,

00:33:13.060 was the most prominent populist on cable television.

00:33:16.880 And they fired him probably because he was a little too populist.

00:33:19.380 He's the most popular guy in the history of cable news.

00:33:22.340 He was the one articulating this view.

00:33:24.540 Maybe we shouldn't be engaging in so much foreign adventurism.

00:33:26.720 And the vast majority, virtually every other talking head on TV,

00:33:33.760 is advocating for a major liberal global empire where we're constantly invading every country on Earth.

00:33:40.980 And then Tucker gets fired.

00:33:42.040 But even though he's the most popular guy, that debate is not Republican versus Democrat.

00:33:46.760 That debate is not left versus right.

00:33:48.800 That debate is the many people versus the few elites who have a lot of power.

00:33:54.580 So when you want to take a little bit of power for yourself, reclaim a little bit of power,

00:35:11.520 My favorite comment yesterday is from the drummer's workshop, Norm's Music,

00:35:15.240 who says, the woman on that flight, the woman freaking out says, 0.57

00:35:19.840 you're not real, you're not real, running off the flight.

00:35:22.380 The woman on that flight reacted the way a Democrat does when they see an American flag. 1.00

00:35:27.420 So true.

00:35:28.180 Such a perspicacious, incisive observation.

00:35:31.880 Very true.

00:35:32.360 Speaking of explosives, Andy Ngo, the great Antifa reporter,

00:35:40.020 like the one guy in the world who's doing work to expose Antifa,

00:35:44.560 he showed me the criminal complaint against the guys who tried to blow me up in Pittsburgh.

00:35:50.220 And I haven't talked too much about this.

00:35:52.160 I had a debate at Pittsburgh this past semester.

00:35:55.540 I was supposed to debate this professor, McCloskey, over gender ideology.

00:36:01.340 And at the last minute, he pulled out of the debate.

00:36:04.240 So Brad Palumbo, libertarian journalist, he comes in,

00:36:08.520 and we ended up debating a kind of weaker resolution of a similar debate.

00:36:12.720 It was great of Brad to pinch hit so that we didn't give the censors and the leftists and the radicals

00:36:19.800 the satisfaction of having shut down our debate.

00:36:22.020 There was a ton of political pressure to shut down this debate.

00:36:24.540 And it was coming from Democrats in the legislature.

00:36:27.980 It was coming from the administration.

00:36:29.700 It was coming from leftist students.

00:36:31.640 And it was coming from outside agitators.

00:36:34.020 And coming from the media also.

00:36:35.700 They're trying to shut down this debate.

00:36:37.440 So I show up to Pittsburgh, and there's a protest outside.

00:36:40.420 And you can tell already it's starting to get a little violent.

00:36:43.660 I go in the back way.

00:36:45.040 They're setting the road on fire. 0.53

00:36:46.340 They're lighting me on fire in effigy. 0.52

00:36:48.160 They had an effigy of me, set it on fire.

00:36:50.480 It was a very odd thing.

00:36:51.340 First time I've ever noticed myself being burned in effigy.

00:36:54.880 Very strange.

00:36:56.520 Felt like Guy Fawkes.

00:36:57.660 You know, that's kind of nice.

00:36:58.480 Kind of a nice honor.

00:36:59.680 And then we're about to go on stage.

00:37:02.580 As we're walking on stage, boom.

00:37:05.040 There's an explosion.

00:37:06.260 The cops make us go back to the green room.

00:37:08.700 We're holding.

00:37:09.460 We wait a little bit.

00:37:10.160 I say, we're doing this.

00:37:11.240 We're going on. 1.00

00:37:11.900 We're not letting these jerks shut it down. 0.99

00:37:13.420 Okay, we go on stage. 1.00

00:37:14.640 We have the debate.

00:37:16.440 It continues to get violent outside.

00:37:18.280 So they're trying to shut down the debate before it ends.

00:37:20.460 We're holding firm.

00:37:21.540 But the minute it ends, we get off the stage.

00:37:24.360 And they evacuate us pretty quickly.

00:37:27.080 But we're hearing all these kind of murky reports.

00:37:29.080 We didn't know exactly what was going on.

00:37:30.720 They had to cancel the meet and greet afterward.

00:37:32.560 It's very frustrating.

00:37:33.300 Because ISI, the group that hosted this debate, spent a lot of money on it.

00:37:36.720 And we had to cancel.

00:37:37.640 A lot of people flew in for it, you know, but we had to cancel it because the cops said

00:37:42.400 it's just not safe.

00:37:44.320 Well, I just read this criminal complaint.

00:37:47.920 And, you know, it's my general rule not to whine about threats and attacks.

00:37:53.220 Unfortunately, we're at a place in our politics where threats and even physical attacks just

00:37:58.820 come with the territory if you're a conservative in public life. 0.74

00:38:01.680 And I don't want to seem like a wuss or a wimp and whine about it all the time. 0.66

00:38:06.620 It comes with the territory these days. 0.84

00:38:08.780 It's not right.

00:38:09.520 It's not just.

00:38:10.100 It's just a fact.

00:38:10.760 So we deal with it.

00:38:12.200 But this was a lot more dangerous than even I previously knew.

00:38:16.280 The criminal complaint here from the DOJ shows that a couple of these anarchists, who

00:38:23.440 were not little kids, 36 years old and 40 years old.

00:38:26.020 It was a married couple.

00:38:26.700 They flew in.

00:38:31.660 They're from Pittsburgh.

00:38:33.060 They're part of an extremist cell that meets at an anarchist bookshop where they train to 0.99

00:38:37.980 fight people, maim people, learn how to kill people. 0.91

00:38:42.160 This guy was in Oakland, another radical hub. 0.99

00:38:45.040 He set off the TSA detector for explosives, for RDX explosives.

00:38:48.980 And the TSA, classic TSA, they just cleared him and let him get on the plane.

00:38:53.300 But he obviously got a little bit nervous, changes the flight itinerary later on, sets

00:38:59.960 off the TSA detector again, also for RDX explosives, very serious explosives.

00:39:05.780 And once again, they clear him.

00:39:07.980 They let him get on the plane.

00:39:09.840 At approximately 7.31 p.m., a protester tossed an ignited firework into a group of approximately

00:39:15.040 12 UPP officers in the rear of the building.

00:39:17.300 The firework exploded, causing injuries to several officers, three of which received

00:39:21.620 on-scene evaluation by paramedics from Pittsburgh Bureau of Emergency Medical Services, one who

00:39:26.240 sought additional care at Forbes Hospital.

00:39:29.080 Officers reported being burned, bruised, suffering from hearing loss, and possible concussions

00:39:34.000 as a result of the explosion.

00:39:36.320 The device, this is all from the DOJ criminal complaint.

00:39:38.660 The device struck one officer, fell to the ground, and then exploded into flames and debris.

00:39:43.740 Secondly, the anarchists were finally being surveilled, luckily, at this big idea bookstore.

00:39:52.060 I guess this is an anarchist bookshop, 4812 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh.

00:39:57.560 The individual, one of the individuals stated that the speaker event, my event on campus, quote,

00:40:04.160 was not going to happen, and passed out various zines, small printed booklets, to meeting participants which

00:40:10.160 instructed on how to make incendiary devices for arson and Molotov cocktails.

00:40:16.240 The whole thing goes on.

00:40:17.940 I would encourage you to read it.

00:40:20.380 Not because of me.

00:40:21.400 I survived.

00:40:22.080 I'm doing great.

00:40:22.820 Luckily, the cops are doing okay.

00:40:24.320 I've got to give credit to the FBI agents here and DOJ.

00:40:28.440 Really great of them, especially after we've been so disappointed in recent years to see

00:40:34.520 the FBI turned political by Democrats in office and the DOJ selectively prosecute conservatives,

00:40:39.940 let criminal libs off the hook. 1.00

00:40:41.980 Really great to see the FBI and the DOJ go after these guys, hold them accountable.

00:40:46.460 The reason that you should consider reading the criminal complaint is because this could

00:40:52.520 happen to you, and you just have to be aware of it.

00:40:54.760 And even I, I go to 10 campuses a semester sometimes.

00:40:58.760 I am very aware of this.

00:41:00.700 I've been attacked previously in public.

00:41:03.200 I didn't realize how serious this was.

00:41:05.340 And you should know, you should know that if you are a conservative in any way in public

00:41:10.420 life, if you're on the school board, if you show up to a meeting, if you have a protest,

00:41:13.300 if you have a sign in your yard, you could be subject to serious violence.

00:41:20.960 And the libs are not just joking around, and they don't just want to throw some glitter 0.99

00:41:24.180 on you, and they don't just want to egg your house. 0.99

00:41:26.380 They want to kill you. 1.00

00:41:28.040 They want to blow you up. 1.00

00:41:29.620 They want to kill you. 1.00

00:41:30.460 They're dead serious about this. 0.99

00:41:32.260 There is a very sinister aspect to what's going on here.

00:41:36.600 This is not just regular political fun and games, okay?

00:41:40.420 And I'm not saying that to discourage you from being politically active.

00:41:42.740 Quite the opposite.

00:41:43.700 I'm telling you that we've got to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

00:41:48.120 And we've got to protect ourselves because we're up against an enemy here.

00:41:52.700 Not just a little political opponent.

00:41:54.020 We're up against an enemy that seeks our destruction, our personal destruction, and the destruction

00:41:58.760 of our country.

00:42:03.400 Before we go, there's one story I want to get to.

00:42:05.940 I meant to get to it just after 4th of July.

00:42:07.700 It's this Ben and Jerry's story.

00:42:08.960 Ben and Jerry's, on the 4th of July, sent out this tweet.

00:42:11.360 They said, this 4th of July, it's high time we recognize that the U.S. exists on stolen

00:42:18.600 indigenous land and commit to returning it, learn more, and take action now.

00:42:22.120 And what's really funny is Chief Don Stevens, chief of the Nalhegan Band of the Kusuk Abenaki

00:42:29.400 Nation, told the New York Post in an interview that Ben and Jerry's exists on native land.

00:42:35.560 So Ben and Jerry's should lead the charge, obviously, right?

00:42:39.540 Ben and Jerry's should give the land back that their corporation exists on.

00:42:43.780 If you look at the traditional way of being, we're place-based people, he says.

00:42:46.920 Before recognized tribes in the state, we were the ones who were in this place.

00:42:51.140 So you've got to give the land back.

00:42:52.660 So obviously, I mean, this is a funny response by this Indian chief.

00:42:57.020 And obviously, Ben and Jerry's is totally full of it. 1.00

00:42:59.040 And they're hypocrites. 0.98

00:42:59.500 And they're never going to give back any land or anything like that. 0.99

00:43:01.720 But the claims of Ben and Jerry's are obviously preposterous, too.

00:43:05.820 The United States does not exist on stolen land.

00:43:09.720 We're not going to give it back to anybody.

00:43:11.340 If we were inclined to give it back to people, we wouldn't know who to give it to.

00:43:14.900 Because the people who we acquire the land from, sometimes through purchase,

00:43:20.520 sometimes through conquest, it's different than stealing.

00:43:24.120 But those people also acquire the land through conquest from other people.

00:43:28.180 So you never know.

00:43:29.040 Do you give land back in the southern part of the U.S.?

00:43:31.600 Do you give it back to the Comanche? 0.99

00:43:35.000 I guess we took it from the Comanche. 1.00

00:43:36.420 Do you give it back to the Comanche? 0.99

00:43:37.340 Do you give it back to the Apache?

00:43:38.240 The Comanche took it from the Apache. 1.00

00:43:39.600 Do you give it back to the Apache?

00:43:40.660 Or do you give it back to the people who the Apache took it from?

00:43:43.040 But it's an important reminder that there's a difference between stealing and conquest.

00:43:46.720 The law of conquest has defined geopolitics for all of human history.

00:43:53.220 That's what war is. 0.76

00:43:54.840 Wars begin sometimes for unjust reasons, sometimes for just reasons.

00:43:58.180 Sometimes because you've got the interests of people butting up against one another,

00:44:02.480 and they're going to fight over it.

00:44:04.380 And then when a group is conquered, that's that.

00:44:08.420 And one moves on.

00:44:09.720 This is the part of our national anthem that we don't sing about very much anymore.

00:44:15.220 But it's in this great verse.

00:44:16.480 You say,

00:44:16.620 And conquer we must, when our cause is just.

00:44:22.060 And this be our motto, in God is our trust.

00:44:25.480 And as the political order begins to really heat up,

00:44:28.760 and as our opponents become more and more depraved,

00:44:32.220 and more and more ambitious,

00:44:33.420 and they start coming for us in ways that are violent,

00:44:36.040 that are extreme,

00:44:37.440 that are totalizing,

00:44:38.680 they want to indoctrinate your children all the way up to,

00:44:43.460 they want to re-educate the adults,

00:44:45.220 they want to take your property, 1.00

00:44:46.620 they want to upend your way of life.

00:44:48.640 And if you don't go along with it,

00:44:49.780 they want to blow you up with explosives.

00:44:50.920 Someone's going to have to win.

00:44:54.820 Somebody's going to have to win,

00:44:55.780 and somebody's going to have to lose.

00:44:57.760 And I think we know which sort of spiritual entities

00:45:00.820 they're putting their trust in.

00:45:02.140 And our motto ought to be,

00:45:04.480 In God is our trust.

00:45:06.920 As conquer we must, when our cause is just.

00:45:08.900 All right, it's Monday.
