Russian President Vladimir Putin has just eradicated transgenderism from public life in his country.
00:00:44.240
Putin signed into law a federal ban on all surgeries, hormone therapies, and puberty blockers for the purpose of the so-called gender transition.
00:00:53.960
The only exception, Putin's office declared, quote, will be medical interventions related to the treatment of congenital physiological abnormalities and defects,
00:01:04.780
as well as genetic and endocrine diseases caused by structural disorders of the reproductive tract in children.
00:01:11.560
Such interventions will be allowed in accordance with decisions made by medical commissions of medical organizations within the jurisdiction of the Russian healthcare ministry.
00:01:19.000
Okay, point of all that jargon, transgenderism eradicated from public life in Russia.
00:01:31.760
What it's troubling for is us Americans, because unfortunately, we have ceded the moral high ground on this extremely important issue to a foreign adversary.
00:01:43.320
But, you know, I try to look on the bright side in politics.
00:01:47.120
And on the bright side here, at least somebody listened to my CPAC speech.

Artificial intelligence not only paints pictures, not only writes essays and speeches,
00:02:21.100
We will get to the lyrics of that in just a moment.
00:02:22.860
First, though, I'm not sure if that introduction was allowed on YouTube.
00:02:27.160
It was about the topic that we're not allowed to talk about on YouTube,
00:02:31.560
but I was just reporting the news on a thing that happened in Russia on that time.
00:02:36.520
In any case, if you want to get the full show with the parts that are not allowed on YouTube,
00:02:41.180
you've got to go to Daily Wire Plus and Twitter at M. Knowles Show.
00:02:44.880
And the RSS feed and Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all over the place.
00:02:48.180
Anyway, tangentially related to the point in my introduction is a claim made by Hillary Clinton.
00:02:55.540
Hillary Clinton just weighed in on the heat wave that we're experiencing, and she said,
00:03:01.820
quote, hot enough for you, thank a MAGA Republican, or better yet, vote them out of office.
00:03:09.240
Hillary Clinton, you know, she's the adult in charge.
00:03:12.680
And this very serious person is saying that summer heat waves,
00:03:17.480
a feature of life for all of history, are the fault of Republicans.
00:03:23.160
And not those Mitt Romney Republicans, by the way.
00:03:26.120
Not those nice little Republicans who squish and help out the Democrats.
00:03:35.700
I thought the last theory on that was that the Jews control the weather.
00:03:43.340
It's the MAGA Republicans who control the weather now.
00:03:47.600
When's Hillary going to start talking about the MAGA Republican space laser?
00:04:00.340
And Donald Trump is not responsible for that at all.
00:04:04.340
I mention this story not to point out that Hillary Clinton is a very silly lady.
00:04:07.560
Not to point out that the libs are far crazier than the conservatives are.
00:04:11.600
All of that, obviously, we just take that for granted.
00:04:13.500
The thing I want to point out here is a trick of the libs, which is that the libs are very good at appealing to the flesh.
00:04:25.060
Conservatives are really good at making logical arguments.
00:04:27.620
Conservatives are really good at destroying people with facts and logic and making all sorts of intellectual and historical and philosophical points.
00:04:33.260
Sure, the libs are really good at appealing to the flesh, and they do this through all sorts of decadent temptations that they make.
00:04:48.860
But even here, even in this silly Hillary Clinton tweet, she says,
00:05:02.180
No, they come up with some tenuous, preposterous argument.
00:05:05.440
You know, well, actually, because the Republicans drive cars, like we all do, and Republicans use oil, like everyone on Earth does,
00:05:12.280
that because of that and the oil angers the sun monster, and the sun monster shines its rays even more strongly,
00:05:18.460
and the climate, catastrophe, warming, cooling, change, whatever.
00:05:28.600
And so, because they can speak in this fleshy kind of language and appeal to your baser appetites and appeal to your sensation,
00:05:38.380
they forge that connection such that when completely unrelated events happen,
00:05:44.240
when the water goes up, when the water goes down, when the ice breaks off, when there's too much ice,
00:05:47.560
when there's a hurricane, when there's not a hurricane,
00:05:49.140
whenever anything happens in the weather and you feel it, you have that connection in there.
00:05:54.160
It's irrational, but so much of politics is based on sentiment.
00:05:57.660
You know, a friend and colleague of mine likes to say facts don't care about your feelings.
00:06:03.240
And the libs get that a lot better than conservatives do.
00:06:07.200
It will have a lot of currency for a lot of people.
00:06:10.100
Now, speaking of failed presidential candidates, Mitt Romney is urging Republicans in the 2024 field to drop out of the race
00:06:19.620
so that the anti-Trump forces can rally around one guy.
00:06:24.040
And presumably, in this case, that one guy would be Ron DeSantis, who's in the number two position.
00:06:30.780
He just focuses on the also-rans, the inevitable also-rans, who are polling at one and two and three percent right now.
00:06:38.160
And then he speaks directly to donors, and that's who his Wall Street Journal op-ed is aimed at.
00:06:44.740
Donors don't fund a Trump plurality, as in 2016.
00:06:51.160
Republican candidates won't drop out soon enough.
00:06:54.820
Despite Trump's apparent inevitability, a baker's dozen Republicans are hoping to become the party's 2024 nominee for president.
00:07:01.700
There are incentives for no-hope candidates to overstay their prospects.
00:07:13.600
The argument is that if there's a two-person race, and it's Trump versus the anti-Trump guy,
00:07:18.620
then the anti-Trump guy is definitely going to win.
00:07:26.840
But according to the polls, not only is Trump trouncing the rest of the field with all of them in,
00:07:32.180
even when it comes down to a head-to-head with his most formidable challenger, Trump continues to trounce him.
00:07:42.000
First, though, I want to talk about how you can trounce your appetites and how you can trounce bad dinners.
00:07:48.460
You can do that with good dinners from Good Ranchers.

00:07:59.540
The only thing that was missing from Good Ranchers, truly, this was my only complaint about Good Ranchers,
00:08:04.440
but I did complain about this to sweet little Elisa.
00:08:11.920
When you ask for things, Good Ranchers delivers.
00:08:14.540
Good Ranchers has just launched their Prime Pork, 100% American pork that is steakhouse quality.

00:08:38.040
You've got to try the Prime Pork at least once.
00:08:40.460
They have got genuinely great products and top-tier customer service.
00:08:44.820
My only thing that I'm really missing now while I'm traveling in Hungary, other than my wife and children, is my Good Ranchers.
00:08:51.960
When I go home and a sweet little Elisa three times a week makes me juicy, delicious steak and burger.
00:08:56.180
One of the last meals I had before I left was a Good Ranchers burger.
00:09:00.480
It's like the best burger I've ever had in my life.
00:09:06.860

00:09:13.460
Romney's op-ed would make a lot more sense if right now it were Trump is up over the field, but when it's Trump versus DeSantis, DeSantis wins.
00:09:20.740
Or when it's Trump versus Youngkin, or when it's Trump versus Tim Scott, or whoever.
00:09:25.380
Trump continues to have a commanding lead even when it's one-on-one.
00:09:29.600
This plays into a broader argument, a broader theme that the establishment GOP has been pushing for many decades now.
00:09:40.760
And the theme is this, that in the primary, the base wants to go out and nominate the most conservative candidate.
00:09:47.320
But that's actually going to harm us in the general election.
00:09:51.400
You know, in order to win the primary, you might have to lose the general election.
00:09:57.920
Well, if we really wanted to win the general election, we'd nominate a moderate, centrist kind of liberal candidate.
00:10:03.460
And that candidate would appeal to moderate and centrist voters.
00:10:07.600
If only you damned conservatives would stop dominating the GOP primary field.
00:10:18.980
The last time, basically, I'll put a little asterisk here.
00:10:23.160
Basically, the last time a moderate, so-called centrist kind of liberal Republican candidate won the presidency was 1956.
00:10:33.140
And really, the last time this happened in a challenger kind of way was 1952.
00:10:43.740
He was the moderate, liberal, Republican kind of candidate who beat out the more conservative candidate, Taft.
00:10:51.020
Since then, though, let's just look at the record.
00:10:58.820
It was a little bit of a sus race, but still, I'll give it to, okay, he lost.
00:11:06.600
Richard Nixon then won in 1968 and won re-election in 1972.
00:11:18.560
And certainly, even if you think Nixon was a little bit squishy, Nixon, compared to his primary opponent, Nelson Rockefeller, who was Mr. Liberal Republican, Nixon was the conservative candidate.
00:11:27.140
The Libs always thought of him as conservative.
00:11:34.240
Barry Goldwater, conservative candidate, loses.
00:11:39.640
After the deep state runs Nixon out, Jerry Ford, liberal, Republican candidate, he loses.
00:11:45.800
After Jerry Ford, the nominee is a conservative Republican, Ronald Reagan.
00:11:52.320
After Reagan, you get a liberal, Republican, a moderate kind of candidate, George H.W. Bush.
00:11:55.920
He does win, but this is why I put the asterisk there.
00:12:03.700
In 1992, when George H.W. Bush had to run as his own candidate after the memory of Reagan had faded, H.W. Bush loses.
00:12:10.380
In 1996, we nominate a moderate Republican, Bob Dole.
00:12:14.200
In 2000, we nominate a guy who at least ran as a conservative Republican, George W. Bush.
00:12:19.260
You might say, George W. Bush wasn't really conservative.
00:12:21.360
Sure, but in the race, he was running as the conservative candidate.
00:12:25.040
Much more conservative than his father and much more conservative than the other candidates in the race.
00:12:34.020
Okay, so the conservative wins both times there.
00:12:36.360
2008, we nominate the moderate centrist Republican, John McCain.
00:12:40.120
2012, we nominate the moderate centrist Republican, Mitt Romney.
00:12:43.820
2016, we nominate the crazy, far-right, populist, awful, no-good conservative Trump.
00:12:56.560
Unlike in 1960, where a lot of people say that Nixon had the election stolen from him, maybe he did.
00:13:04.740
But at least there, if Kennedy stole the election, he stole it within the normal bounds of politics, within the normal campaign rules.
00:13:10.920
In 2020, I add far more of a question mark to that election because the Libs changed all of the rules in the lead-up to that election.
00:13:19.640
In some cases, unconstitutionally to give an advantage to Dems.
00:13:22.340
So, in any case, I'm not arguing that if you nominate a conservative, it's a sure thing that the Republicans are going to win the election.
00:13:31.360
But I am pointing out, it is a far safer bet to bet on conservative Republicans as the GOP nominee than on the moderate, squishy, centrist Republicans.
00:13:44.360
And I know it's common consensus view here in the GOP.
00:13:47.780
If only we could nominate more of a moderate candidate.
00:13:49.480
They have an almost uninterrupted track record of losing, a far worse electoral record than the conservatives.
00:14:02.300
Now, speaking of polls and statistics, it's a disturbing poll out right now.
00:14:08.400
A poll says that only 18% of young adults and 29% of Democrats are extremely proud to be American.
00:14:17.380
Not proud in the, you know, we have a whole month, pride, you know, goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.
00:14:23.820
Pride in the sense of patriotism, national loyalty, affection for your country, an extension of filial piety.
00:14:30.200
Fewer than one in five young adults consider themselves to be extremely proud to be American, consider themselves to be, that is, patriotic.
00:14:36.980
I'm not as disturbed about a declining number of Democrats being proud to be American because leftism is opposed to patriotism.
00:14:49.620
And so as the Democrats become more liberal and more left and they follow their ideas more and more to their logical conclusion, they're going to be less patriotic.
00:15:01.120
Well, young people don't necessarily have to be less patriotic and yet they are becoming less patriotic.
00:15:09.020
Well, I'm in Hungary right now and I can't help but think of Viktor Orban, the prime minister here, his speech a couple of days ago in Romania,
00:15:17.460
in which he was lamenting the fact that Western values these days are taken to mean nothing more than, what was it, LGBT and mass migration and war, going to war.
00:15:34.220
That's what's considered to be Western values these days.
00:15:36.540
Not Christianity, not duty, not dignity, not virtue, not the pursuit of truth, not honor, not any of those.
00:15:44.940
And unfortunately, sorry to say, America has been promoting that.
00:15:52.240
America has been flying that rainbow flag everywhere.
00:15:55.180
America, with our liberal establishment, has been denying the things that made America great.
00:16:06.120
Superman no longer stands for truth, justice, and the American way.
00:16:08.540
He stands for truth, justice, and all that other stuff.
00:16:10.980
Or truth, justice, and I don't know, diversity, equity, and inclusion or something like that.
00:16:17.020
And so is it any wonder that as the country becomes more and more a stand-in for bad stuff,
00:16:26.860
that young people will have less and less affection for their country?
00:16:35.200
He said, Europe is going to be Christian or it's just going to fall apart.
00:16:39.120
But the only hope to save Europe, and I think we can expand that to the West, is Christianity.
00:16:47.360
Or it's going to descend into a bunch of rival factions of different appetites and disordered passions and desires.
00:16:54.760
And it's going to turn into anarchy and chaos, which is what is happening all around us.
00:17:07.500
And you're going to see that number continue to decline if the country continues to stand for a bunch of nonsense that people don't want to be associated with.
00:17:14.460
Now, speaking of that nonsense, LGBT, another topic I probably can't cover on the YouTube show.
00:17:21.000
So again, you've got to go to Twitter, at MNoll's show, and you've got to go to Daily Wire Plus,
00:17:27.100
and you've got to go to the RSS feed, and you've got to go to Apple Podcasts.
00:17:29.960
There are many reasons to oppose transgenderism in public life, in Russia, in Europe, America, and everywhere else in the world.
00:17:40.100
One of them is that the transgender procedures are terrible, specifically for the people who undertake them.
00:17:48.840
So the transgender hormone therapy, surgical therapy, all of that, according to the largest data set on this,
00:17:59.480
doesn't help to improve any of the conditions that led people to go get them in the first place.
00:18:03.800
Doesn't improve anxiety, doesn't improve depression, doesn't improve suicidality.
00:18:08.340
In fact, at least in the case of anxiety, it would appear to make it worse.
00:18:11.700
All right, well now, for the first time in a long time, we're seeing what the transgender surgeries actually look like.
00:18:17.400
According to some research on this topic, four out of five people who undergo trans-related surgery involving their genitals
00:18:24.200
endure pain in the five years after the procedure.
00:18:27.760
More than half feel pain while having sex, and about a third are left incontinent, according to the first studies into the side effects.
00:18:35.040
So, don't forget, one of the arguments, this is not my argument against transing the kids,
00:18:39.380
but one of the arguments against them from the more liberal, squishy types is,
00:18:42.920
hold on, we've got to slow down, we don't have any data here, this is all so experimental.
00:18:46.960
I think we should just ban it, period, because we can deduce through our reason that it's obviously disordered and wrong.
00:18:51.680
But even the liberals, some of the reasonable liberals are saying,
00:18:54.320
well, we've got to slow down a little bit, this is all experimental quackery, we don't have any studies.
00:18:58.280
Well, now we have studies, and we know that this is absolute hell for the people who go through it.
00:19:02.780
There is, quote, there is a high percentage of reporting musculoskeletal pain, difficulty moving, and pelvic floor dysfunction,
00:19:13.800
according to University of Florida Professor Merrill Alapattu, quote,
00:19:17.320
in terms of getting information related to efficacy of these types of treatments, we still have a lot of work to do.
00:19:26.060
It is so cruel that we do this to people, to mentally ill people, and to troubled teenagers.
00:19:34.640
What teenager isn't questioning things a little bit?
00:19:37.140
And to even now children who are just taught this stuff in their classroom,
00:19:41.000
and they don't know any better, and they're led into it.
00:19:42.580
We are a heinous society in as much as we continue to do this.
00:19:51.540
Now we encourage them in delusions that are going to make them incontinent,
00:19:55.240
that are going to screw up their bones, that are going to screw up their muscles,
00:20:01.620
You know, I always, I don't base my views primarily on the science,
00:20:06.320
but in as much as we see the science, the science is very clear here.
00:20:10.380
And it's not just the libs, it's not just the left that we have to blame for this.
00:20:15.180
Even large parts of the right are responsible for some of this,
00:20:18.860
because there are so many people that I encounter on the right who will say,
00:20:22.500
look, I think the transgender thing is a little weird, but look, you do you.
00:20:30.220
As long as I'm not paying for it, it's no big deal.
00:20:34.220
That mentality, which has taken over a lot of the American right,
00:20:38.320
the you're on your own, you just figure it out kind of mentality,
00:20:43.740
Even if you say for most people, that's a fine way to live.
00:20:47.060
When we're talking about people who are not in possession of their rational faculties,
00:20:50.520
when we're talking about people who are mentally ill,
00:20:54.460
when we're talking about people who just are not reasonable by definition,
00:21:00.500
Are you just going to let the crazy bum die on the street?
00:21:02.960
Are you just going to let the hopeless drug addict just keep shooting up until he dies?
00:21:07.420
Are you just going to allow the mentally ill people to chop their body parts off
00:21:11.560
until their lifespan is shortened and their quality of life greatly deteriorates?
00:21:16.660
Society is not just about you do you and we'll figure it out later,
00:21:19.740
but I'm me and I'm not going to pay any more taxes.
00:21:22.300
Society is about all of us together sharing something,
00:21:27.920
And we can't put truth on the same plane as falsehood
00:21:35.560
and pretend to be indifferent to the distinction between the two.
00:21:41.260
And we've got to eradicate these bad ideas and ideologies from society.
00:21:55.240

Speaking of stuff that I'm hawking, if you happen to be in Hungary right now,
00:24:10.600
My book, the Hungarian translation of my blank book, Reasons to Vote for Democrats.
00:24:32.820
That book is available now in Hungarian bookstores.
00:24:35.060
If you're not in Hungary, you're going to have trouble ordering it.
00:24:39.080
You can't get it on Amazon because Amazon doesn't operate in Hungary.
00:24:42.160
I don't think the Hungarian bookstores are shipping to the States.
00:24:45.580
Anyway, just type in that very easy-to-write title.
00:24:50.120
My pal who's with me in Hungary picked up a copy at the bookshop today.
00:24:59.660
It even has my Thucydides quote, the epitaph at the beginning.
00:25:08.740
It's a really faithful reproduction from the publisher, Alap Yoko Kotspont, which is the
00:25:18.360
It shows you a little bit about the political differences, even in Budapest.
00:25:26.920
So I pulled up a picture on my phone of the cover.
00:25:48.800
But then as I'm walking out, he goes, that book is blank pages.
00:25:55.600
Isn't that, he wasn't, he wasn't so pleased, I think.
00:26:03.320
And so I was pleased to see it's making a splash, positively and negatively.
00:26:08.120
I'm pleased to see the whole point of this book when I made it in 2017.
00:26:12.840
Was to irritate my Democrat friends and relatives.
00:26:15.280
And I'm pleased that it's continuing to achieve that even now, overseas, even in Hungary.
00:26:22.760
Now, speaking of technology, like the printing press, I guess.
00:26:29.560
Speaking of technology, the first artificial intelligence love song has been created.
00:26:41.480
They plugged in thousands and thousands of love poems and song lyrics.
00:26:46.340
And then they came up with a song here, Delirious Ecstasy.
00:26:50.260
The opening line of which has made some headlines.
00:26:58.660
And I thought, huh, is this just a, it's kind of a strange lyric?
00:27:05.760
I thought, you know, with the sexual revolution, with the widespread hookup culture, with swipe
00:27:10.060
culture, with skyrocketing rates of venereal disease, you're my biohazard baby, probably
00:27:15.680
is an accurate summation of a lot of modern love.
00:27:24.100
What does it mean when we plug into AI and we see all these weird pictures and poems and
00:27:39.760
You know that I'm skeptical of AI as I am skeptical of all technology.
00:27:43.600
And I do fear that AI is just getting possessed by demons sometimes, but not all the time.
00:27:47.860
Sometimes there are more pedestrian explanations for things.
00:27:52.200
There's one good thing I'll say about AI, which is that AI can show you a mirror to yourself
00:28:00.320
Because AI is basically just taking inputs from this whole big wide web of the internet
00:28:06.600
and then spitting out an output, whatever that particular type of art will be, based
00:28:16.820
And so the idea that, forget about Biohazard Baby, the idea that a modern love song would
00:28:28.640
We think about love as crazy and unreasonable and delirious.
00:28:34.720
You see this in all of the various sexual ideologies that are being pushed now.
00:28:38.100
They're being pushed in the name, not of reasonable love and telos and the purpose of love and
00:28:44.960
marriage and family foundation and love and marriage, love and marriage go together like
00:28:50.360
This, I tell you, brother, you can't have one without the other.
00:28:59.960
If you do accidentally get pregnant, you should kill the baby through abortion.
00:29:02.700
You should never engage in any kind of commitment or lifelong bond through marriage.
00:29:14.380
In fact, when it comes to one of those sexual ideologies that we're not allowed to talk about
00:29:18.740
on YouTube, the great defense of it from the people who promote it, who have undergone
00:29:24.080
it, they'll say, well, I felt a euphoria after I underwent this procedure or that.
00:29:35.280
In the old Bacchanals of ancient Greece and Rome, you see a kind of ecstasy associated with love.
00:29:41.540
In our Christian civilization for a while, we had reined that in.
00:29:44.780
Obviously, there was still wacky stuff going on on the fringes.
00:29:46.860
But we had reined that in to say, no, there's actually a purpose to love and sex and romance
00:29:54.180
And the purpose is to be married and to stay married and to have kids and to be fruitful
00:30:00.220
and multiply and pass on what you believe, your values, your beliefs, your institutions,
00:30:04.420
your behaviors, your rituals, your traditions, all of it into the next generation.
00:30:10.000
And as we lose that, we lose the next generation.
00:30:22.700
Speaking of stuff going on in the academy, in the universities, not just building AI over
00:30:30.540
there, they're also providing sinecures for failed liberals.
00:30:34.820
The former San Francisco DA, Chesa Boudin, you remember him?
00:30:38.120
He's the guy that allowed San Francisco to just turn into a complete cesspit of filth and
00:30:46.400
And it's just, you can't even really travel there anymore.
00:30:52.560
And now he's making over 200 grand a year in a position at UC Berkeley, of course.
00:30:58.500
And the Harvard law professor, Adrian Vermeule, great conservative intellectual today, he
00:31:03.940
pointed out that what this is, is basically a sinecure for failed leftists.
00:31:09.580
And it's something the left does very well, and the right is not really good at it.
00:31:15.880
It's not just a way to take care of your buddies.
00:31:20.180
Because on the left right now, what we are, what the leftists are told, not what we are
00:31:24.340
told, what the leftists are told is, hey, go out there, be radical, push our crazy policies.
00:31:31.140
And I know it might not be popular, but you'll probably be able to hold on to power.
00:31:34.360
And don't worry, if you don't hang on to power, we got your back.
00:31:39.060
Don't worry, you're never going to miss a meal.
00:31:43.580
Because if you push it too far, we're going to support that.
00:31:46.880
And then if you do get thrown out of office, don't worry, you'll make 200 plus grand a year
00:31:55.060
He's going to run the new center that was just founded, the Criminal Law and Justice Center
00:32:01.420
So your taxpayer dollars, at least California's taxpayer dollars here.
00:32:05.320
And Boudin says that the center is going to give him a better opportunity to create lasting
00:32:11.240
So the university is going to pay him 210 grand a year.
00:32:14.400
And they've said that they're going to fund the center $400,000 for the next three years.
00:32:26.640
The university is releasing this as though we're giving $400,000 to the center.
00:32:34.640
You're paying more than half of that in the salary to the failed leftist DA heading it.
00:32:42.300
Because the point of hiring him was not so that you would have someone to run this important
00:32:47.920
You created the center to give this guy a paycheck.
00:32:57.620
The center could have one office and one chair.
00:33:00.880
It's just a way to say, hey, when you fail, we got you.
00:33:05.320
So all you other leftists out there, don't be afraid of trying to radically implement our agenda.
00:33:12.040
The right does it a little bit on the neocon, squishy, liberal side.
00:33:16.240
I'm not going to name the think tanks and the institutions.
00:33:20.080
I think you know the ones we're talking about, though.
00:33:22.400
A lot of the never-Trumper types went over there when they got booted out of GOP politics.
00:33:25.780
They just go and they collect their six-figure paycheck and they publish white papers that
00:33:29.020
nobody reads and they lament the fall of the GOP or whatever.
00:33:34.680
Because they, in many ways, are just as much upholders of the liberal establishment as the
00:33:44.060
The difference is that the role of these squishy conservatives is to be the court jesters in
00:33:50.240
So their role is to provide a semblance of opposition.
00:33:54.800
So it looks as though there's a real political fight going on.
00:33:57.100
It looks as though there's a real representation for the people, but there's not.
00:34:01.740
That's why they support the candidates who lose.
00:34:08.920
But in terms of the actual conservatives, the real, call it, I don't know, the populist
00:34:13.760
right or maybe the traditional right or the conservative right or whatever, the guys who
00:34:18.640
are actually conservative, we don't really have that.
00:34:21.740
If we fail, we're kind of in trouble, financially at least.
00:34:26.320
And maybe there are some ways that you can parlay your work into some other, but it's nothing
00:34:36.480
Part of how the left has been so effective at implementing its radical agenda is it has
00:34:41.980
mitigated the potential downside for trying to do it.
00:34:45.640
The conservative right needs to do the same thing.
00:34:49.220
Now, speaking of the right and higher education, there is one win, one sort of win that we just
00:34:53.580
Do you remember, I bet you do, we played it on this show, Stanford Law a while ago, the
00:35:01.560
district judge, Judge Duncan, who's a conservative Trump appointee, he shows up to give a speech
00:35:08.960
and a bunch of students start howling like banshees.
00:35:12.160
This is at Stanford Law, supposedly the number two law school in the entire country.
00:35:16.720
And they go up and they howl a bunch of uneducated nonsense at the federal judge.
00:35:28.240
One would think to restore order and tell the ignorant little children to sit down so
00:35:33.160
that they can listen to their better, the federal judge.
00:35:36.540
The DEI apparatchik shows up and he starts berating the judge with the kids.
00:35:43.340
It's a federal judge, a sitting federal judge who's invited to speak at supposedly an elite
00:35:48.020
So the good news is that, that, that Dean for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Tyrion Steinbach
00:35:57.800
She, I, the way that the email came out is she was, she and the school have parted ways
00:36:04.940
and she, she recognized as the school did that perhaps she should move on and she's okay.
00:36:16.360
Every other DEI dean and vice president and apparatchik in the entire country should be
00:36:22.480
And the whole office and set of offices should be eliminated.
00:36:25.620
But okay, this is a step in the right direction.
00:36:27.020
But notice, even the way it was done, they kind of allow this lady to, to keep her, her
00:36:33.640
dignity, to keep her, I don't even, Tyrion, I don't know, I don't even remember what this
00:36:44.580
I'm sure that Tyrion Steinbach will get another job.
00:36:49.440
And the, I hate to be a glass half empty guy here because it's good that at least something
00:36:55.380
But the bigger issue was not the, the leftist apparatchik being a leftist apparatchik.
00:37:06.020
The point is to stir up trouble and to attack conservatives.
00:37:08.460
That's, that's the only thing that DEI counselors exist for.
00:37:12.780
The bigger problem here is that the students don't seem ever to have been punished.
00:37:17.600
The students were the one who caused the trouble.
00:37:19.540
The students were the one who don't deserve a spot at Stanford Law because they, they shouldn't
00:37:27.980
These are people who are, are, do not possess the merit, academic, intellectual, behavioral,
00:37:37.840
These are people who have been promoted up the ranks because they're big libs, I guess,
00:37:43.400
but, but not because they're going to be good lawyers.
00:37:46.680
I'd be surprised if they can read the English language.
00:37:50.580
They should have been expelled from the law school.
00:37:55.380
That, that DEI counselor was a little too on the nose.
00:38:05.880
We're going to let you leave now, but we're not going to change anything.
00:38:10.180
Because ultimately these radicals are, are doing the bidding of the broader liberal establishment.
00:38:18.440
And ultimately, even in, in moments that seem anarchist, downright anarchist, lawless,
00:38:26.180
well, that creates the opportunity for the liberal establishment to come in and seize
00:38:31.120
more power and wield more power and make more rules.
00:38:37.860
They attack even some places that Libs like, but it's okay.
00:38:40.420
The anarchy will create the opportunity to further the liberal agenda as we've seen.
00:38:46.240
Now you might have been one of the tens of millions of people who watch Netflix's hit
00:38:51.480

Some halfway, okay, kind of good news out of Stanford.
00:39:41.040
Unfortunately, the military academy is not so lucky.
00:39:44.100
The Air Force Academy superintendent is supporting a scholarship for students who are demigender.
00:39:57.260
I don't know, because I don't know what demigender is, and neither does the Air Force Academy
00:40:02.800
superintendent, as Representative Matt Gaetz proved in this exchange.
00:40:06.920
You just said that your answer on why we do such this full hug of these diversity concepts is
00:40:15.820
because it's all about the fighting force that we draw from, but you're literally pushing
00:40:20.120
a program in the academies that says, if you're a cisgender woman, a transgender woman, a non-binary,
00:40:27.500
agender, bigender, two-spirit, demigender, what's demigender?
00:40:31.980
Sir, that's a term of the people that are eligible for that particular scholarship that
00:40:39.920
is available to, it's a person who looks at their gender in a different way than I
00:41:09.700
At least he admitted outright, he says, I don't know.
00:41:14.700
What is, I don't know what demi-agender, this, that, or the other, I don't know, I don't
00:41:20.660
I know I support it, but I have no idea what it is.
00:41:28.580
I don't know what demigender is, but whatever it is, what it represents is that the U.S.
00:41:33.800
military is prioritizing sexual deviance over fitness.
00:41:38.840
Prioritizing all sorts of leftist, lib, woke priorities over fitness.
00:41:44.280
Our publicists over at Media Matters got very excited yesterday and publicized this clip
00:41:50.760
in which I said that, forget about the demi, trans, whatever stuff.
00:41:56.780
The fact that we have women fighting in combat is a stain and a disgrace on our nation.
00:42:05.660
It is a bad kind of thing for a nation to send out its women to be blown up by jihadis.
00:42:18.140
I'm sure they've got a ton of courage and are willing to sacrifice all sorts of things
00:42:26.040
That's an important constitutive part of serving in the military.
00:42:29.260
But what the military is for is not proving that anybody can do anything.
00:42:40.040
And it's for representing our country and the best of our country and the best ideals
00:42:48.120
And one of those ideals is that we're going to protect women.
00:43:00.820
I have no doubt that there are people who are confused about their sex, who are willing
00:43:06.160
to serve their country, who have served their country, have served their country honorably,
00:43:17.520
The military is not for proving those things to individuals.
00:43:21.000
And the military, in as much as it represents the country, is not for showing that the country
00:43:27.340
stands for some kind of disordered sexual problems.
00:43:34.300
We're just putting the cart before the horse here.
00:43:36.980
When Joe Biden decides not to pick the top recommendation of his military advisors to lead
00:43:41.840
the Navy, but to pick a lady because she's a lady, that's called putting the cart before
00:43:47.960
That's called prioritizing things over the cheap purpose of our military.
00:43:54.320
And in the case of our military, that can be a real life or death question.
00:44:01.260
Getting back to that poll we talked about earlier, when young people are saying, I'm not
00:44:10.760
Ordinary Americans, generally speaking, still have a lot of common sense.
00:44:15.640
It's not because of ordinary servicemen in the military.
00:44:18.560
They still have way more common sense than the average civilian.
00:44:22.660
But the ruling class, the political leaders, including the political leaders at the Pentagon,
00:44:28.020
the ones like Mark Milley, who start whining and crying about white rage and say, well, I just
00:44:31.980
want to make sure that my troops understand the origins of white rage, including the people
00:44:36.200
running NASA, who say the purpose of NASA is to appease the Muslim world.
00:44:41.040
Including all of these political leaders who put the cart before the horse.
00:44:50.380
Speaking of fitness, this is a story I wanted to get to for a few days now.
00:44:55.540
A university in Scotland has decided to put a trigger warning on a classic book.
00:45:15.100
There's a trigger warning on Ernest Hemingway's Old Man in the Sea because the book involves,
00:45:25.620
I was going to try to get through it with a straight face, and I failed at doing that.
00:45:29.900
The novel contains graphic fishing scenes, and so the university has this new content warning
00:45:36.900
to, quote, enable students to make informed choices.
00:45:40.900
A nation that can't handle fishing, a civilization that can't handle the brutal reality of fishing
00:45:52.340
is not a civilization that is going to survive.
00:46:06.000
You're going to have the blood and guts of your best friend beside you flying on your face.
00:46:12.500
Not like those yellow piss-four enemies out there that we're going to gut like soldiers.
00:46:18.120
We're going to run through them like a hot knife through butter.
00:46:23.340
Now we've gone to, would it be all right if I talk to you about fishing?
00:46:34.520
When you see that 18% number, I'm not proud of my country.
00:46:40.360
Then we're at a place where you understand, okay, there's finally some consequences to
00:46:49.320
Those same students who can't bear the thought of a guppy getting a hook through his mouth,
00:46:55.400
I promise you those students are perfectly fine snuffing out the life of a human baby in
00:47:03.140
60 million babies have been killed in the United States since Roe v. Wade.
00:47:09.920
The nice way to read the content warning on graphic fishing scenes is that we're becoming
00:47:16.400
A kinder, gentler nation as a moderate, centrist, squishy Republican type once said.
00:47:24.440
We're becoming a lot crueler and we're becoming a lot crueler in virtually all areas of our
00:47:31.200
And we're doing it with a little smile on our face and we're doing it with the saccharine
00:47:35.840
slogans of some DEI counselor who's not only perfectly willing to kill innocent human life,
00:47:42.400
but who is perfectly willing to kill a civilization.
00:47:46.020
Got to reorder those priorities, folks, or the numbers in all areas are going to continue
00:47:51.700
No member block this week because I'm in Hungary and I'm going to be speaking in Hungary.
00:47:55.460
Hungary keeps showing up in the news in this major civilizational battle and I'm very excited
00:47:59.980
that I will get to contribute to that in some small way on Friday when I speak at the
00:48:12.140
I consider all my speeches letters to the world, but this one's more so because I'm all
