Summary
Joe Biden's official story about his involvement with his son's foreign business has been challenged by a letter from Hunter Biden's former business partner, Devin Archer, who says that Joe was present on more than 20 of the business phone calls.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
Man, that was fast. You remember a couple days ago, I gave you the update on Joe Biden's
00:00:06.060
official story of his involvement with his son's foreign business deals.
00:00:11.600
Initially, years ago, Joe said he knew nothing about Hunter's business. Then Hunter accidentally
00:00:18.960
admitted that he and Joe had, in fact, talked about it. So Joe admitted that he knew about it,
00:00:25.400
but only very little. And he said he was never personally involved.
00:00:30.300
Then a couple of years ago, we started to see emails and texts from Hunter's laptop
00:00:34.200
implicating Joe in the business. 10% to the big guy, that sort of thing. Still,
00:00:40.420
Joe maintained he never spoke to any of those corrupt business guys.
00:00:46.120
Then last week, we learned from Hunter's former business partner, Devin Archer,
00:00:50.340
that Joe not only spoke with the crooks, but was actually present on more than 20 of the business
00:00:57.500
phone calls. So then the official story, I know it's a little dizzying, your head is spinning.
00:01:01.660
The official story became that Biden knew he discussed it with Hunter. He even spoke with
00:01:07.480
the crooks, but they only talked about the weather. So, you know, he wasn't actually involved.
00:01:13.760
Just passing niceties to appease his son. Well, not 48 hours later, the story has been updated again,
00:01:24.700
thanks to a letter from the aforementioned Hunter crony, Devin Archer. This is a letter
00:01:30.720
from Joe Biden, while Joe was vice president, to Devin Archer, dated 2011. The letter reads,
00:01:37.020
Dear Devin, I apologize for not getting a chance to talk to you at the luncheon yesterday. I was having
00:01:42.100
trouble getting away from hosting President Hu, then president of China. I hope I get a chance to
00:01:48.560
see you again soon with Hunter. I hope you enjoyed the lunch. Thanks for coming. Sincerely. And then
00:01:56.480
it's signed, Joe Biden. P.S. This is handwritten. Happy you guys are together. So, hey, Devin Archer,
00:02:05.660
I just invited you to this fancy lunch with the president of China. Yeah, sorry I didn't get a
00:02:10.520
chance to publicly chat with you there, but here's a note partially handwritten explaining how much I
00:02:18.300
love that you're doing business with my son and coming to lunches with the president of China.
00:02:24.560
Look forward to seeing you again soon with my son.
00:02:30.980
I, I'm harsh on Joe Biden, but I don't think I'm unfair to him. I try to give as charitable read as I
00:02:36.960
can. How do you read that as anything other than Joe Biden's being actively involved with Hunter's
00:02:45.540
foreign shakedown business for now over 10 years? It's a dozen years. How do you read the unusual act
00:02:54.980
of Joe Biden's, Vice President Joe Biden's, even sending the letter to this then 30-something-year-old
00:03:01.260
partner of Hunter, to say nothing of the clearly pointed language in the letter? He's a crook.
00:03:08.040
He's a shakedown artist. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Joe Biden is the same as his son,
00:03:16.000
minus the crack. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:03:19.080
Welcome back to the show. We've got the feel-good video of the day where some immigrant shop workers
00:03:31.620
in New York City beat a shoplifter with a stick. We'll get to that. We'll get to how important this
00:03:37.580
is politically and why it feels so satisfying just viscerally while we watch it. First, though,
00:03:43.300
we just got to impeach the guy. I have been very slow on calls for impeachment. I don't think
00:03:50.160
impeachment should be wielded capriciously and arbitrarily. I don't think that we should
00:03:56.780
only impeach somebody because we've got a political advantage. I think there's a legal predicate we've
00:04:00.940
got to hit. I think prudence has to play a role here. I think prudence is the most important political
00:04:07.080
virtue. I'm with Aristotle on that point. Okay, all of that caution said, we just got to impeach the guy.
00:04:14.960
I don't know what other evidence of what other crimes we could possibly get. I don't know how the
00:04:19.860
political situation in this country could deteriorate anymore. They're trying to put Donald Trump in
00:04:24.100
prison for over 500 years and potentially execute him. What are we waiting for? And it would appear
00:04:29.540
that a number of sitting Republican politicians and leaders agree with this. Lauren Boebert has called
00:04:35.360
for it. Jim Banks has called for it. Nancy Mace has floated the idea. And the great Senator Ted Cruz
00:04:41.220
has suggested impeaching not just Biden, but some of Biden's top lieutenants, too.
00:04:47.880
I believe the House should pursue three separate impeachments. Number one, Alejandro Mayorkas,
00:04:52.400
the Secretary of Homeland Security. I believe they should impeach him today, right now. His conduct has
00:04:58.640
been atrocious. It's created the worst humanitarian crisis on our southern border in the history of our
00:05:04.700
nation. The second impeachment inquiry that should be opened in the House is an impeachment of Merrick
00:05:10.120
Garland, the attorney general. And the reason is simple. The IRS whistleblowers, if their testimony
00:05:15.580
is accurate, then Attorney General Merrick Garland lied under oath to Congress in response to
00:05:20.640
questioning from me and actively engaged in obstruction of justice. Both of those are felonies
00:05:26.880
for which he should be impeached. But third, Joe Biden, I agree with Speaker McCarthy. I think
00:05:32.720
the House should open an impeachment inquiry. The allegations in that document from the FBI are
00:05:38.640
that Joe Biden directly received a $5 million bribe and got another bribe for his son Hunter in
00:05:44.740
exchange for favors from the vice president of the United States. If that is true, he should be impeached.
00:05:52.140
Simple as that. Totally agree. The legal predicate is already there. You don't need to take my word for
00:05:58.340
it. Ted Cruz is one of the best lawyers in the country and one of the sharpest ones out there.
00:06:02.760
And politically, he's very savvy as well. So the legal basis, I think we're good. Mayorkas has
00:06:09.740
conducted himself terribly in his office. And we have this horrific humanitarian crisis down there.
00:06:16.660
The Attorney General speaks for himself and he lied under oath to Ted Cruz. And then Biden. We've got
00:06:25.260
strong evidence of crimes. On the political front then, we need to impeach these people before they
00:06:32.660
imprison us. Remember when Donald Trump said they're not indicting me, they're indicting you? I think
00:06:38.040
that's a good line. That line is resonating because we know that it's true. No one ever had a problem
00:06:42.360
with Donald Trump until Donald Trump started speaking up for the unheard from men and women
00:06:51.280
of the United States, the deplorables, the irredeemable, the people who the Uniparty had
00:06:55.720
not represented for a very long time. And so Donald Trump went from being feted and celebrated and a
00:07:02.840
pop culture star and named in all these rap songs and admired. All of a sudden, he became the worst
00:07:08.680
criminal. He was colluding with the Russians. He was colluding with the Ukrainians. He's an
00:07:11.560
insurrectionist. He's a terrorist. He's a rapist. He's a murderer. He's, I don't know, whatever.
00:07:15.020
He's all, he's every terrible thing you could possibly, he's a Hitler. He's a, he's everything,
00:07:19.400
everything bad and evil. They're going to lock him up and potentially execute him
00:07:28.360
It's not just that they're going after Trump. They're also spying on Catholic masses. It's also
00:07:33.440
that they're going in and knocking down the doors of pro-lifers. It's also that they're calling
00:07:38.620
parents domestic terrorists. It's also that they're letting leftist actual criminals off
00:07:43.000
of the hook, violent criminals off of the hook. At a certain point, Republicans need to grow a spine
00:07:49.720
and perhaps some other anatomical features. If you're hearing it from me, I am as cautious as
00:07:56.320
it gets when it comes to these kinds of things. Then I think the time has come, folks. If the GOP
00:08:02.220
doesn't impeach these people, what's the GOP for? The GOP is for what a lot of us have long feared
00:08:09.040
that it's for, which is to be the junior partner in the liberal political establishment and to be
00:08:13.840
the court jester in the kingdom of liberalism and to put up a pretense of opposition, but always to
00:08:19.200
fold at the crucial moments. Now, speaking of disorder in our political system, when things go a
00:08:26.260
little bit wonky, you're going to want to protect your assets. You're going to want to check out

00:08:34.660
threat to the U.S. dollar's global dominance in the past 80 years. On August 22nd, BRICS nations,
00:08:40.620
Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa are expected to announce the launch of a new
00:08:44.560
international super currency fully backed by gold or other commodities. This is part of their long-term
00:08:50.280
plan to supplant the U.S. and the dollar as cornerstones of the global financial system. You can
00:08:55.160
protect your IRA or 401k from the fallout from this landmark announcement by

diversifying with gold from Birch Gold. Historically, gold has been a safe haven in times of high
00:09:04.020
uncertainty, which is right now. When currencies fail, gold is a safe haven. How much more time

00:09:33.920
Justin Trudeau, leader of America's Top Hat, has just announced that he is separating from his wife,
00:09:41.660
Sophie Gregoire. Why do I even mention this story? Why am I interested in the marriage of some foreign
00:09:48.640
leader, particularly a foreign leader that I don't like very much, who has been rumored to be the son
00:09:52.960
of Fidel Castro, but I actually don't think he really is. He's only ideologically the son of
00:09:57.580
Fidel Castro. The reason this story hit me is because I feel bad for Justin Trudeau. I did not
00:10:07.120
think it was possible to feel bad for Justin Trudeau. This is a guy who brutally puts down the ordinary
00:10:12.860
people of his country, shuts them up, locks them in their homes, strips them of their rights,
00:10:17.720
attacks the Canadian truckers, promotes suicide, promotes really a form of homicide. They call it
00:10:25.240
assisted suicide or euthanasia, M-A-I-D, medical assistance in dying. But it's just a way to kill
00:10:29.640
the elderly and the frail and the mentally impaired and the poor and the homeless. He's pushing this
00:10:35.760
around the country such that now a significant portion of Canadians die this way by the state
00:10:40.300
helping them to kill themselves. A guy pushes radical abortion laws. He's awful. He's as bad
00:10:46.700
a leader as it gets. And divorce is so terrible that I still feel bad for him. My interest here is
00:10:57.940
not in Justin Trudeau. It's in divorce. Divorce is so bad. And we just don't talk about it enough. We
00:11:03.140
focus on the abortion issue. Rightly so. It's life or death. We focus on some of the radical
00:11:11.300
sexual ideologies that have permeated the country. But we don't talk very much about a part of that
00:11:17.200
that is, I think, a major symptom, but also driver of the sexual revolution, which is divorce. It's just
00:11:26.300
so awful. Divorce is so awful, not just because it screws up kids, not just because it usually ruins
00:11:32.960
the lives of the spouses who split, not just because it's, in my view, metaphysically and
00:11:38.820
sacramentally impossible because what God has joined, no man can separate, but because the family
00:11:46.480
is the fundamental political unit. So if you have divorce, then your whole country is going to split
00:11:52.700
apart at the seams. It's like cracking the atom. The atom is the smallest physical unit. And when
00:11:59.040
you crack the atom open, things go kablooey. Well, the same thing's true in a political order.
00:12:03.840
When you crack open the family, even families that don't function that well, even the families of bad
00:12:09.100
people like Justin Trudeau, it can only hurt. It can only be destructive. And it is the culmination of
00:12:18.540
a political process that's been going on for hundreds of years, which is to separate and compartmentalize
00:12:23.780
things in our political order. So we separate church from state. We separate politics from culture.
00:12:30.700
We separate economic considerations from social considerations. We separate men from women. We
00:12:38.700
separate races and classes. And we just, we separate everything. We separate scientific considerations
00:12:45.520
from philosophical and theological considerations. We separate law from morality. All the way down to
00:12:52.200
the point that we separate husband from wife. And all the way in our, in our, now in our sexual
00:12:57.780
ideologies that are, that are becoming prevalent, we, we try to separate body from soul. It doesn't
00:13:02.660
really work. You know, in that one particular ideology that I'm not allowed to mention on YouTube,
00:13:06.440
I think we know which one I'm talking about. That, that is so, so destructive that I could even feel
00:13:15.020
bad for Justin Trudeau. And so what's the answer to this? Well, we need to convince people that marriage
00:13:18.720
really matters. We got to convince people to stick together and stick it out. We also need to make
00:13:24.040
it harder to get divorced. No fault divorce, which was a legal decision. It was a, it was a decision by
00:13:33.840
our elite political class. It wasn't driven by the people. It wasn't grassroots. It wasn't bottom up.
00:13:39.560
It was driven by liberal elites. No fault divorce has been a complete disaster for the human race and
00:13:47.880
certainly for our civilization. Nothing good has come from it. And it's not, it's not even a possibility.
00:13:56.380
There's no such thing as a no fault divorce. If you make a vow to stay with someone forever and then
00:14:00.620
you break that, that one or both of you breaks that vow, somebody is at fault. Someone's done
00:14:06.060
something right. It's just not possible. It's just a lie to say there's no fault divorce.
00:14:11.760
And the effects are so, they're so difficult to even put your finger on. I mean, I know I'm a
00:14:17.520
millennial, so pretty much all of my friends have parents who are divorced and they're not even aware
00:14:22.880
often of, of how the divorce has affected them. But I have friends who were perfectly ordinary,
00:14:27.720
perfectly fine, had a nice life and good behavior. Parents get divorced and then just you,
00:14:33.160
you see from that very moment, they start to get a little wacky and they start to go become resentful
00:14:38.700
and they start to question all sorts of aspects of their identity and their relationship to the
00:14:46.020
community and to religion. It just, it's so subtle. It's like, it's like rayon in a house. I don't know.
00:14:51.500
It's just this poison that spreads through society. You're not even aware of it.
00:14:55.380
It's even difficult to trace back to the cause. You cannot solve the political problems in the
00:15:03.780
country without addressing the, the rupture that has occurred within the fundamental political unit,
00:15:09.980
which is the family and the rupture is called divorce. Very sorry for the Trudeaus. Now,
00:15:16.160
moving on to other world leaders, other young global leaders, you know, my friend,
00:15:20.100
Vivek Ramaswamy running for president, surging in the polls. Vivek has an asterisk, a question mark
00:15:26.980
around his candidacy that some people have written into this show and brought up. Some people have
00:15:32.080
asked him about in interviews. And it is that Vivek, who is an anti-woke businessman who wrote Woke Inc.,
00:15:37.760
who campaigns against ESG, who would seem to be one of the most vocal opponents of the globalist,
00:15:45.100
corporatist, liberal elite. This guy is listed on the World Economic Forum website as a young global
00:15:54.220
leader. Now, I have known about this for years. I thought, Vivek Ramaswamy, why is he listed as a
00:16:05.000
WEF guy? And I know, I know that it has driven Vivek crazy because the World Economic Forum invited him
00:16:11.400
to be part of their special elite club, the young global leaders. And he said no. And I know he said
00:16:16.180
no. And I know he never participated in it. He told them, take my name off. I don't want anything
00:16:19.640
to do with you guys. But they listed him anyway. And so because I have a little background knowledge
00:16:25.640
here, I know that these attacks on Vivek are silly. There's spurious attacks. But he finally proved it.
00:16:32.620
He was finally exonerated here of this charge because he got the World Economic Forum to apologize
00:16:38.820
for listing him among their elite. Here's Vivek discussing it.
00:16:44.500
So it was a particular mystery when the World Economic Forum, after I had written against their
00:16:52.960
agenda through my book, Woke, Inc. and otherwise, happened to name me on a list of so-called young
00:16:59.320
global leaders with other so-called successful young Americans and young people around the world.
00:17:04.800
I rejected their award. I declined it. I said that I deeply disagreed with the values of the
00:17:10.780
World Economic Forum and that I wouldn't be a good fit for inclusion. I said it respectfully.
00:17:16.020
A few months later, I was told that my name showed up on their website anyway. I contacted them. I told
00:17:21.220
them to take it down. They had the gall to still leave my name. Yes, I was a successful person in this
00:17:27.120
country. So they thought they could use my name and image along with people like Mark Zuckerberg or
00:17:31.640
others who they had named, Elon Musk, that they had named in the past. I wasn't going to let them
00:17:36.280
get away with that. And so what I did is I said that I'm going to stand up for what's right.
00:17:42.280
I sued them. I filed a lawsuit saying that this was wrong.
00:17:46.940
So you filed a lawsuit and the lawsuit said, hey, take my name down, apologize, and give me some money.
00:17:51.040
And they obliged. They wrote, dear Mr. Ramaswamy, we write on behalf of World Economic Forum in
00:17:57.840
reference to the civil action you filed. We write to apologize for this mistake. The forum nominated
00:18:03.420
you in 2021 as a young global leader, listed you in several documents on the website. Shortly
00:18:07.820
afterward, we learned you did not wish to participate in this program. We took steps to
00:18:11.600
remove you, but inadvertently, inadvertently, they say, failed to remove your name from all
00:18:15.200
publications. We acknowledge that this continued inclusion on a young global leader document may
00:18:20.580
have incorrectly implied an association. For that reason, we apologize for this unintentional error.
00:18:25.920
Sincerely, the legal team. And Vivek has said that the monetary damages he received, he's going to
00:18:29.760
donate to the America First Policy Institute, or one of these right-wing populist institutes.
00:18:35.020
This is really good stuff. Why does it matter? One, it helps Vivek's campaign, and it vindicates him
00:18:40.280
on a charge that really was unfair. But the other reason is it shows you something about the way the
00:18:47.420
elite liberal establishment works, which is we always think of it from the perspective of the ladder
00:18:54.560
climbers. We always think of it from the perspective of these young, ambitious, probably, in many cases,
00:18:59.800
sociopathic young people who are seeking association with these really prestigious organizations, these
00:19:06.480
really powerful, shadowy organizations. And so they'll sell their souls out to go have an association with the
00:19:13.080
World Economic Forum or one of these groups. That's one way that it works. That does happen.
00:19:19.680
But just as the ambitious young would-be rulers are ambitious and eager for association with these
00:19:26.760
groups, so too, the groups are eager for talent. And so with someone like Vivek, he is a Yale Law School
00:19:37.360
graduate. He's very successful right out the gate in a pharma company. He's making a lot of money. He's
00:19:43.780
shaking things up. He's an author. He's going on TV. It helps, at least for the liberals, that he's
00:19:49.920
Indian and he's not just a straight white male or anything like that. And so he checks all these boxes
00:19:56.100
and they say, well, we want that guy. We, because not only, we don't really care if he, if he leans on
00:20:04.440
our brand prestige. We want to lean on his reputational prestige. So they recruit him in.
00:20:10.360
And usually people will just go along with it. In Vivek's case, he said, wait, hold on. What do I,
00:20:15.500
I get nothing out of this. They get, they get something out of this. I don't want it because I
00:20:19.060
don't, I don't agree with the World Economic Forum. But it's a reminder because I think there's a lot
00:20:24.120
of theories that groups like WEF, that there are these, these totally omnipotent, powerful
00:20:29.940
organizations that, you know, rule the world and they don't need anybody and everyone's just suckling
00:20:37.060
at the teat of them. No, the, the, the way that this works is a little bit more complicated than
00:20:41.980
that. And they're desperate for talent too. They're desperate to hold onto power. And sometimes you see
00:20:48.560
chinks in the armor, like when they have to apologize for how an association with them
00:20:53.120

00:22:14.100
Speaking of presidential candidates, Nikki Haley. Not polling very well, but she's still in the race
00:22:20.920
and she'll probably make it to that first debate. Nikki Haley has a new ad out identifying the enemy,
00:22:31.300
Nikki Haley fought America's enemies at the UN and won.
00:22:35.660
China's dictators want to cover the world in communist tyranny.
00:22:40.240
Nikki Haley, tough as nails, smart as a whip, unafraid to speak the truth.
00:22:44.980
Communist China won't just lose. Like the Soviet Union before it,
00:22:49.640
communist China will end up on the ash heap of history.
00:22:53.600
Nikki Haley, a strong leader for a strong America.
00:22:57.200
I really like Nikki Haley. This is a very bad ad. It's a very bad ad because
00:23:08.500
it looks like something out of the 80s. There would be virtually no difference between the ad
00:23:17.440
that Nikki's campaign is running in 2023 and an ad that any Republican would be running
00:23:23.260
from the 1960s through the 1980s. Just replace China with the Soviet Union.
00:23:31.720
And here she even alludes to that. She goes, this is just like with the Soviet Union.
00:23:35.120
Our battle with China is just like the battle with the Soviet Union. But it's not.
00:23:38.840
It's not. There was a real threat of Soviet communism, which had been spreading everywhere,
00:23:45.340
coming in and leading to the end of the world because of this very close nuclear conflict that
00:23:51.160
we nearly had. That's not what's going on in China. Frankly, the communism of China is not even
00:23:58.300
close to the communism of the Soviet Union. China, though they still have the communist symbols and
00:24:04.880
they'll sometimes still invoke communism. They don't really have even a communist country.
00:24:10.360
They've got their own thing. They've got their own weird thing that allows for markets,
00:24:16.260
that allows for some strong economic growth, that also clamps down on social liberties.
00:24:24.280
And it's just its own thing. And it's just different. And even beyond all of that,
00:24:28.820
the vast majority of Americans, the vast majority of Republicans and conservatives don't view China
00:24:37.080
as the biggest threat to our way of life and our liberties and our property and our families and
00:24:43.940
our traditions. We view liberalism as the big threat. Is communist China threatening to lock you up
00:24:53.000
for questioning the 2020 election? Is communist China threatening to take away your job or your
00:24:59.660
reputation or your livelihood for violating the COVID lockdowns? Is communist China trying to
00:25:05.400
deplatform you from social media for violating the new woke standards of whatever they pretend is hate
00:25:11.360
speech today? No, it's not. It's the libs. It's the libs here. That threat is a lot closer to home.
00:25:17.260
Does Xi Jinping call you a deplorable, irredeemable hillbilly hick who ought to just die out of the
00:25:24.760
breeding cycle? Is it communist China that's blowing open the southern border? It's not. It's
00:25:31.520
the liberal establishment here. Is it communist China that's rigging our elections? No, I don't
00:25:35.800
think it is. It's the libs who are changing all the election rules in the weeks and months before the
00:25:39.740
election, in some cases unconstitutionally. It's the libs. And the reason that I suspect whoever
00:25:47.120
on the Nikki Haley campaign put this ad together did that, the reason why a lot of more centrist
00:25:52.700
type GOP politicians are leaning in on China and communism is because they don't want to take on
00:26:01.800
liberalism because they're still embracing many of the premises of liberalism. And they're not
00:26:09.260
recognizing what time it is. The time has changed. It's not 1986 anymore. It's 2023.
00:26:15.760
And politics is about applying eternal principles of justice to changing political circumstances.
00:26:23.980
The enemies are different. The problems, the threats right now are different. There's been
00:26:30.840
on the right a big shift, really beginning around the time of Trump and propelled in large part by Trump.
00:26:39.380
And the shift is away from the right saying, we're the real liberals. We're the true. We're the classical
00:26:46.060
liberals. We're libertarians. We're, I love liberal. We want to conserve liberalism to something
00:26:51.200
different saying, actually, liberalism appears to have eroded our whole society. And America never
00:26:55.520
viewed itself as a liberal democracy until really the middle of the 20th century. We always viewed
00:26:59.760
ourselves as something a little more classical, a little more traditional. We viewed ourselves as a
00:27:03.680
Christian nation. And liberalism has eroded national borders. And liberalism has kicked
00:27:08.220
Christianity out of the public square and replaced Christianity as the animating spirit of our
00:27:13.260
civilization. And as we've done that, back when we were a Christian nation, you could teach the Bible
00:27:18.200
in schools. You couldn't teach porn in schools. Today, you can, in some cases, must teach porn in
00:27:23.180
schools, including elementary schools. But the one book you're not allowed to teach is the Bible.
00:27:26.760
And that's no good. And the result of that has been the breakup of marriages, the slaughter of
00:27:32.060
hundreds of thousands of babies, a drug crisis that is the worst in American history, flung open
00:27:37.860
borders, a plummeting of trust in our elections and our institutions on both sides of the aisle, and a
00:27:44.320
population that is literally dying because we can't replace ourselves. Huh. I don't blame communist China
00:27:50.420
for that. Communism never really took hold in America. And the people who were overt Marxists, I wrote a
00:27:55.820
book about the cultural Marxists. The people who were Marxists, after the end of communism, after
00:28:02.200
the fall of the Berlin Wall, they just kind of became part of the liberal establishment. This was
00:28:07.800
true in the former Soviet bloc. I was just in Hungary. And this was true in the West also. That's
00:28:13.080
the problem here. And I think the Republicans who know what time it is, who are going to jump in the
00:28:17.160
polls, are the ones who say, no, it's not just communist China. You can call it wokeism. You can call
00:28:23.100
political correctness. You can call it leftism. Or you can, I think, be even more blunt about it and say,
00:28:28.680
that's liberalism. There's a problem with liberalism. It's not Xi Jinping who's sending our communities up in
00:28:36.580
smoke. Right now, you go to an American city, San Francisco especially, good grief, you can barely walk into
00:28:41.960
that city. Chicago, D.C., Los Angeles, New York. Crime is spiking. Disorder is spreading. To the point now
00:28:51.600
where people will just regularly go into drug stores, go into convenience stores, and they'll just go in,
00:28:56.700
they'll have a bag, or sometimes they'll even have one of those gigantic, like 60-gallon trash bins.
00:29:03.280
They'll drag them in and they'll start emptying the shelves, put them in. And because our
00:29:07.960
our justice system has been so perverted and corrupted, the shop owners are not really allowed
00:29:15.140
to do anything about it. They just have to call the police. The police don't come. It's too much
00:29:18.760
crime. And the people just get away with it. And as a result of this, people can't walk down the
00:29:24.380
street in safety, and the shops have to close up shop. Well, there's a video that just went viral
00:29:28.400
of some thug, some just ordinary street thug, walks in with a giant trash bin into a convenience store,
00:29:35.880
and he just starts emptying out the cigarettes. You know, it's just like in Les Miserables trying
00:29:41.120
to steal a loaf of bread to feed your family. No, I don't know. I don't think this guy needs
00:29:44.280
200 packs of cigarettes to, you know, survive until another day. Well, the shop owners initially
00:29:49.160
say, you can't do anything. But then, no, there we go. Then what looks like an immigrant comes
00:30:03.260
over. As one of the guys holds the robber down, this immigrant comes over and just starts beating
00:30:07.620
him with a stick. It's got a broom handle or something.
00:30:22.500
This might be the perfect beatdown I've ever seen. And it's the perfect beatdown I've ever seen
00:30:27.200
because the guy didn't shoot him, didn't kill him, didn't stab him. He's not bleeding out or anything.
00:30:32.000
And even the guy holding the stick, he's not cracking the guy in the head. He's not giving
00:30:35.660
him a concussion or brain damage. He's just caning him on his legs and on his torso.
00:30:41.880
Nothing is going to leave a really lasting injury here, but it is going to leave him a lasting lesson,
00:30:47.720
I hope. And why is this video so shocking? These kind of robberies go on in cities all over the
00:30:53.720
country all the time. Why is this one so shocking? Because our political establishment says,
00:30:57.800
hey, if you rob a shop, you're going to be let off the hook. You probably won't even get
00:31:04.320
a slap on the wrist. If you loot during the George Floyd riots for months, coast to coast,
00:31:09.360
yeah, you'll just get your charges dismissed. But if you ever try to stop a robber,
00:31:13.920
we're going to throw the book at you. We're going to charge you with murder. We're going to send you
00:31:17.040
to prison for the rest of your life. And so people rightly who understand the way that our two-tier
00:31:22.620
justice system works, they say, look, I don't want any part of that. Steal my stuff, steal my
00:31:26.960
cigarettes, shut down my shop. I don't want to go to prison because of this two-tiered perverted
00:31:31.120
justice system. But then you see this guy with the turban. The turban is the indication to me
00:31:35.300
that this fella, this shop worker is an immigrant in New York. This guy, I don't think he's totally
00:31:40.880
familiar with liberal decadent American culture, the culture that says robbers can do whatever they
00:31:48.280
want, but property owners can. So this guy looks at me and says, hold on, get over here. And the guy
00:31:54.500
filming, he says, no, man, you can't do anything. We got to wait for the cops to come. You're not
00:31:58.340
allowed. No, you don't understand, man. You can't. And the guy with the turban, he says, no, I don't
00:32:02.200
think so. Hold that guy. And then so the other person holds the guy down. You start beating him
00:32:05.880
with a stick. Immigrants have much to teach us. You know, the liberals say, we have so much to learn
00:32:12.960
from the immigrants. Well, I finally agree. You're right. Because in whatever country this
00:32:18.220
guy's from, I promise, I don't know what the country is. I don't know when he came here.
00:32:22.620
I promise you, whatever country that guy is from, they don't just let robbers come in and take your
00:32:29.160
cigarettes. There is, there is a natural impulse for justice. And if the cops aren't going to provide
00:32:38.460
it, and if the prosecutors aren't going to provide it, and if the political establishment's not going to
00:32:42.220
provide it, then we're going to have to provide it ourselves. That's what that guy, that's the idea
00:32:48.000
that that guy is expressing by beating the robber, very politely, very considerately, I think, with the
00:32:54.980
stick. We have to do it. We live in a political order right now that forgot about justice. And so
00:33:01.200
the issue runs a lot deeper than just letting some criminals go in and steal your packs of cigarettes.
00:33:07.040
A political order that says there is no such thing as justice, there's no such thing as right and
00:33:11.580
wrong beyond what we say it is. A political order that says that marriage isn't really what marriage
00:33:16.360
is. A political order that says that men are not really men and women are not really women. A political
00:33:21.600
order that says that up is down and black is white. That perversion of justice is going to spread
00:33:30.940
everywhere. This is why in New York under Giuliani, probably the best mayor in the history of the city,
00:33:37.120
New York, they pursued broken windows policing. Broken windows policing said, we're not only going
00:33:43.700
to go after the toughest, not only are we not going to let the criminals off the hook,
00:33:47.140
we're not only going to focus on the most egregious crimes, we're going to focus on the most minor crimes.
00:33:53.300
We're going to focus on a broken window because when there's a broken window in your neighborhood,
00:33:58.940
that's going to attract criminals like moths to a flame. They're going to say, oh, there's disorder
00:34:03.000
here. Okay, we can wreak havoc. You've got to focus on that. This is why Giuliani went in. He
00:34:09.220
didn't clean up the nice neighborhoods. He cleaned up Times Square, which was a degenerate neighborhood.
00:34:13.620
He turned Times Square into Disneyland and he did it to send a message. This city is going to focus
00:34:21.240
on justice. And once again, we were talking about this with Justin Trudeau. When disorder seeps in,
00:34:27.860
it's like rayon in the air. Is it rayon or radon? One of them is made to make cheap t-shirts. One of
00:34:37.000
them is a gas that poisons your family. I forget. Whichever one it is, it's in the air. It poisons
00:34:40.800
you without you even recognizing it. Okay? And much like that, when one insists upon a principle
00:34:48.780
of justice, that's going to spread throughout the air too. And people are going to behave a lot
00:34:52.240
better. Politics is not rocket science. It's not theoretical physics. Okay? If you just
00:34:56.580
encourage good things and discourage bad things, you're going to get a better society.

is from CoxRocks25. Okay. Says Michael. Michael says, guys, be more masculine. Michael also
00:35:42.620
says, I love pumpkin spice lattes, drink White Claws, and Barbie was a great movie. Michael now
00:35:47.460
update. Also says, my followers are called cream puffs. Oh, yes. They decided this in the chat
00:35:51.980
yesterday because I referred to the creme de la creme, just offhandedly, you know, the inner circle,
00:35:56.540
not the hoi polloi who watched the show on YouTube, but the people who are members at
00:35:58.980
dailyware.com. And so they've started to refer themselves to the creme de la creme, but what
00:36:03.240
does that make an individual member of the creme de la creme? And someone suggested cream puff. And I
00:36:09.040
thought, you know, this is, guys, I don't, I listen to poetry. I like opera. I went to a
00:36:14.040
particularly Lavender University, a group in New York, a group in LA. And the libs,
00:36:18.560
the libs look back at my wayward youth, my acting career. They never focus on the roles that I played
00:36:23.080
that were soldiers. They never focus on the roles that I played that were football players. They
00:36:26.240
always find the one gay guy that I played and they say, there he is, he's a fanook. And now if my
00:36:30.060
listeners call themselves cream puffs, you know, this is not going to help the situation, but hey,
00:36:34.240
what can we do? What can we, qu'est-ce qu'on peut faire? What can we do? Speaking of odd
00:36:40.640
identities, a Japanese fella has just spent $14,000 to make himself look like a border collie.
00:36:51.560
He looks like Lassie. He spent it on a costume. Mercifully, this was not a very extensive hair
00:36:59.940
plug surgery or any other cosmetic surgery. It's just, it's a costume. It's a very convincing
00:37:04.740
costume. He goes by the name Toko. And he just shared a video of him stepping out in public for
00:37:11.860
the first time, rolling around in the park in front of children, dressed up as a dog. He has 42,000
00:37:19.980
subscribers on YouTube. And this is not just a prank or something, which would be kind of funny.
00:37:25.220
He, he sincerely wants to be an animal. That's what he says on the channel. And then here's what
00:37:32.700
else he says. He says, do you remember your dreams from when you were little? You want to be a hero or
00:37:38.100
a wizard? I remember writing in my grade school graduation book that I wanted to be a dog and
00:37:43.080
walk around outside. Yeah. Yeah, sure. First of all, in his defense,
00:37:49.940
his costume is much more persuasive than Dylan Mulvaney's. So he's done better there than a lot
00:37:58.280
of confused people. But this is very sad. And what's saddest about it is he seems to be somewhat
00:38:07.600
conscious of the, of the problem here. You see that he says the problem. He says, do you remember
00:38:13.020
your dreams from when you were little? Well, I'm just doing that as an adult. That's the problem.
00:38:20.520
And I think that's what's underlying a lot of the pathologies in our society. Not just people having
00:38:27.020
imaginary identities, but the people who refuse to grow up. The people who, they get married, but
00:38:35.380
they don't, they don't want to really get married. You know, they want to keep their lives mostly
00:38:40.180
separate. They don't want to change their name. They don't want to get a shared bank account. They
00:38:43.320
don't want to change any aspect of their lives. It's, it's, I guess it's technically a marriage,
00:38:48.420
but it's not, it's still people holding onto their individualism or they get married, but they don't
00:38:54.160
want to have kids. Even if they can have kids, they don't want to have kids. They don't want to,
00:38:57.380
or let's say they don't want to get married. Marriage rates have plummeted or they don't want to be in a
00:39:01.620
serious relationship or they don't want to buy a house or they don't want to commit really to
00:39:08.720
anything, which is a major problem for the millennial generation. We'll see how it affects
00:39:13.120
the older zoomers. It's all back to this problem that the border collie man is identifying, which is
00:39:20.020
say, well, when I was a little kid, I, I didn't want to do those things. When I was a little kid,
00:39:26.860
I wanted to do X, Y, and Z. And so I'm just going to keep doing X, Y, and Z for the rest of my life.
00:39:30.720
It's very sad. This ties in with the Barbie movie, actually. It's one of the things I really liked
00:39:34.520
about the Barbie movie. I won't talk about the Barbie movie too much, but the Barbie movie plot
00:39:40.800
begins because Barbie is stuck in this perpetual, pointless present. In Barbie land at the beginning
00:39:50.420
of the movie, every day is exactly the same. Wake up, go to the beach. Ha ha. They do beach. You know,
00:39:56.060
they kind of walk around the beach. Then there's a party at Barbie's house and they all go to the party,
00:40:00.060
but then the boys have to go away because it's girls' night. And then they just, and they do the
00:40:04.180
exact same thing every day. And the movie's plot really begins when Barbie says, wait a second,
00:40:10.020
you guys ever think about death? You ever think about time? You ever think about aging and changing?
00:40:15.840
And that's the driving theme throughout the movie, growing up and what it means, not just for an
00:40:21.700
individual, but even passing on to the next generation and how a society grows up. And we've stopped that.
00:40:28.180
And it's no wonder that as we've stopped the process of individual maturation, as we've stopped
00:40:34.660
looking at and admiring older people and shifted our focus as a society to now we say, we need to
00:40:41.300
learn from the children. Children know everything. We need to listen to them about everything. We need
00:40:44.640
to trust everything that they say. We have to assume that they have perfect faculties of reason.
00:40:49.340
Oh, grandma, she doesn't know what she's talking about. Throw her in a home, kill her through
00:40:52.200
euthanasia. Old people don't, old people are dumb and stupid and racist probably, and they don't matter
00:40:56.800
and they should just die. But young little children, they know everything. That bizarre
00:41:01.820
inversion of society has led to a society that is dying because it won't grow up. Like this guy
00:41:09.100
won't grow up. It's not bad that when he was five years old, he said, I want to be a doggy. That's
00:41:13.420
kind of cute. It's childlike. But when an adult says that, it's childish and it's very sad and it's
00:41:18.920
destructive and it will harm him and the rest of society. There's a real dark side to this. We can make
00:41:24.200
jokes about, and we can even think it's kind of funny. If I walked through the park and I saw some
00:41:27.360
dude in a $15,000, $14,000 border collie suit, I'd probably get a kick out of it. Probably take
00:41:32.460
a picture and say, oh, hey, you know, hey, lassie. But then the flip side of it is when it affects
00:41:37.800
people at a deeper level. Like in this story that I can't talk about on YouTube. A Canadian transvestite
00:41:48.000
named Lois Cardinal describes him or herself as a sterilized First Nations post-op transsexual.
00:41:59.020
So I guess this is a fella, this is a guy who had a 2009 surgery to create an imitation lady part
00:42:07.260
out of his inverted male part. And he regrets it. That's becoming increasingly common.
00:42:14.680
The even darker part here is he's now, because he's Canadian, he wants to kill himself. And in
00:42:21.340
Canada, you can kill yourself and you are encouraged to kill yourself. In a normal good society,
00:42:26.660
suicide is illegal and strongly discouraged. And if you do commit suicide, people don't talk
00:42:32.700
about it. You don't write about it in the newspapers. It's not usually a formal funeral. It's just kind of
00:42:37.580
brushed to so shameful and dark. In Canada, they celebrate it. You have a party. You're going to go kill
00:42:42.720
yourself. Great. The government's going to encourage you to do it. And so this transsexual is saying,
00:42:49.000
okay, I'm going to kill myself because not only do I continue to have psychological pain, I have
00:42:54.540
constant physical pain from this experimental operation that chopped up my genitals. And you're
00:42:59.720
seeing this. There's really only one major study on the physical effects of the transition. And it just
00:43:04.440
wreaks havoc on the body. And it shortens people's lifespan. It gives them osteoporosis. It gives them
00:43:08.960
chronic pain. It gives them incontinence. It's just horrific. And so this guy says, I'm in constant
00:43:15.080
discomfort and pain. It's taking the psychological burden on me. If I'm not able to access proper
00:43:20.220
medical care, I don't want to continue to do this. Question to ask here is, have you ever desired
00:43:28.440
something? I have no doubt that the people who have the transgender problem, I have no doubt that they
00:43:33.160
desire it. But have you ever had this experience where you desired something and then you got it and
00:43:40.200
you had maybe some euphoria because you got the thing that you desired, but then it left you with
00:43:44.920
regret? It could be anything. In this case, we're talking about some sexual thing. Maybe it's the
00:43:51.280
fifth cookie. You really desire that fifth cookie for dessert and you get it and you get to have a
00:43:56.680
euphoria while you're eating it and then you regret it immediately because you have a stomachache and you
00:43:59.780
feel fat. Or maybe it's a little longer lasting than that. You cheat on your wife. Maybe, or it's
00:44:07.840
some job or you move to a new city or you, I don't know, whatever it is. You do something
00:44:11.860
that is not good for you and was not decided upon wisely and with prudence and then you come to regret
00:44:20.960
it. Yeah, of course. Of course that happens. Happens to us all the time. It's a fact of a fallen
00:44:27.520
world and concupiscence. Our society, before it became shallow and glib and lib and all the rest of
00:44:34.640
it, materialist, we used to recognize that and we had real precautions against that in the family,
00:44:41.400
in the church, in the law, in our training, in our education. We had precautions against that.
00:44:48.320
Those precautions have been blown away. And so when people get caught up in stuff like this,
00:44:52.500
I have basically nothing but pity for them. I have contempt for the liberal political order.
00:44:56.360
I have a great sadness for the nature of this world and the way that modernity has progressed.
00:45:03.660
But I have a great deal of pity for the lassie guy and for this guy, especially for this guy.
00:45:09.780
Say, man, I didn't know what I was doing. Right. It's the responsibility of a political community
00:45:14.520
to help inform you, to help guide you in the right direction. Liberalism doesn't guide you in the right
00:45:20.600
direction. It pretends not to guide you in any direction. It says, oh, we're just neutral.
00:45:23.980
You do whatever you want. So you just wander around aimlessly until you're wearing a $15,000
00:45:30.240
border collie costume where you chop your genitals off and then you want to kill yourself. And that's
00:45:33.580
it. That's the end of it. That's the pointlessness of it. So maybe we need an alternative, an alternative
00:45:40.060
to liberalism. How about that? Well, we'll get into maybe some of those alternatives on Theology Thursday,
00:45:45.100
baby. And we have one of my very best friends, George Farmer, coming on the show. You might know
00:45:50.740
him as Mr. Candace Owens. I know him as the great trad Catholic king of Nashville, Tennessee. The rest
00:45:59.440
of the show continues now. You do not want to miss it. Become a member. Use code NOLS,
