The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1309 - Republicans Show Force To Eradicate ＂Woke＂ From The Military

00:00:00.000 Something very strange is happening in Washington, D.C. It's worrying lots of people.

00:00:05.680 For the first time in U.S. history, three military services are operating without a

00:00:11.480 Senate-confirmed chief in charge. But that is not the strangest part. The strangest part is the

00:00:17.280 reason why. Republicans are wielding the power the people gave them. Senator Tommy Tuberville

00:00:24.380 is single-handedly holding up more than 300 of Joe Biden's senior officer nominations,

00:00:31.440 including the three joint chiefs. The liberal journalists are wringing their hands and

00:00:36.160 clutching their pearls. They're accusing Senator Tuberville of weakening our military.

00:00:42.080 But the liberals at the Pentagon could end the standoff tomorrow because the liberals at the

00:00:47.220 Pentagon are the ones who started it last October by ramming through a new policy that pays military

00:00:54.140 service members to travel out of state to kill their babies through abortion. That policy was 0.80

00:01:00.320 never passed into law by Congress. The people never voted for it. It's obviously not a right

00:01:05.460 guaranteed by the Constitution. The whole reason the liberals at the Pentagon passed this policy

00:01:10.780 was because they were angry over the Supreme Court's decision in the Dobbs case, which overruled

00:01:16.580 Roe v. Wade and struck down the fictional constitutional right to abortion. The whole point of the military 0.97

00:01:22.920 is to protect Americans, not to pay soldiers to kill the most vulnerable Americans. There is no popular

00:01:32.020 call for this policy. That's why the DOD had to ram it through the bureaucracy. And the policy in no way

00:01:38.540 improves the military's readiness or ability to fight our foes. But this policy does matter to liberals.

00:01:45.540 Abortion matters a lot to liberals. If you ever doubted that, look no further than this fight in which our

00:01:53.300 nation's top military leaders would rather keep three branches of service without a leader than agree

00:01:59.900 to tone back the baby killing just a little bit. There are a few people in Washington, D.C. who are

00:02:08.420 endangering national security right now. And none of those people is Tommy Tuberville. I'm Michael

00:02:14.220 Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show. There's a lot of big news we have to get to. The

00:02:25.600 that mother effer isn't real girl from the airplane has issued an apology. We will go through every 1.00

00:02:31.720 crucial detail of that apology. And then is there anything else? Oh yeah, there's this little tiny

00:02:37.800 bit of news. They indicted Trump again. It's Groundhog Day. General Francisco Franco is still

00:02:45.000 dead. And the libs have indicted Trump again. This one's a little different. This one is not at the

00:02:50.840 federal level. This is not over January 6th, the worst day in the history of the world. This is not

00:02:57.600 over an in-kind campaign contribution from some tabloid story in New York. This is over a phone call

00:03:03.940 that Trump had after the Democrats rigged the election. And he called Georgia and he said,

00:03:09.940 hey, what's going on in Georgia? Where are the votes? That phone call now has gotten him and his

00:03:15.900 lawyers and all sorts of people indicted. The other big difference between this indictment and the other

00:03:20.920 7,000 indictments that they've thrown at him before is that in this case, the authorities are promising

00:03:26.980 to take a mugshot. We are following our normal practices. And so it doesn't matter your status.

00:03:35.280 We have mugshots ready for you. Look at that little smirk, that little smirk on the Gestapo there at the

00:03:41.460 end. It doesn't matter. We're going to take a mugshot this time and we're going to get you, Trump. Now,

00:03:46.740 of course, Trump is going to be thrilled by this, as well he should be. If the liberals are going to

00:03:55.780 upend the American political order, if they're going to upend centuries of tradition, and if

00:04:04.200 they're going to now criminalize politics, which is effectively what they're doing, then go big or

00:04:09.900 go home. Then I don't want them to be able to weasel out of it and pretend they didn't. No, no.

00:04:14.300 If you're going to arrest the leader of the opposition and a former president of the United

00:04:17.900 States, then take that mugshot and make him a political martyr, which is what they're going to do.

00:04:23.800 Hard to see how Trump totally gets out of this now. The reason being that even if Trump becomes

00:04:33.060 president, I guess he could pardon himself, but he could only pardon himself at the federal level,

00:04:41.860 right? I think. I don't think he could pardon himself if he's convicted on state charges.

00:04:48.160 We're in completely uncharted territory here, so we're kind of making things up a little bit as

00:04:53.140 we go along now that the Democrats have decided that we're going to descend into a tinpot dictatorship,

00:04:58.200 a banana republic. But it's hard to see, now that the Democrats have brought Donald Trump on,

00:05:04.340 at my last count, seven billion charges, it's hard to see how they don't get him on at least one,

00:05:09.980 especially in these hostile places. You can see, you just, you look into the eyes of these liberals.

00:05:16.480 I don't mean to be too hard on that cop there, because he's obviously just following

00:05:19.760 political orders. And the politicians are very clear that the Democrats have decided they're

00:05:24.580 going to throw Trump in prison for the rest of his life. You look into their eyes, you just see

00:05:28.740 fire burning there, because the eyes are the window to the soul. And the windows are the windows to your

00:05:35.540 house, which when you want to replace them, you've got to check out Renewal by Anderson.

00:06:58.080 This is not a bright moment for Western political leadership. This is not, not just in the United

00:07:05.500 States, really, for any Western-aligned country. And especially in military leadership. You've got

00:07:14.420 these liberals at the Pentagon basically shutting down the top command in order to ram through a 0.97

00:07:21.080 radical infanticide policy. And then in the American colony, in the imperial war we're fighting

00:07:27.900 overseas in Ukraine. You, you see, well, I'm going to let you see it for, I'm not allowed to do this,

00:07:35.900 this segment on YouTube. So if you want this segment, you've got to come to Daily Wire Plus

00:07:39.760 or to the RSS feed or to Twitter at M Knowles show. I, I'm just going to, I'm just going to introduce

00:07:47.820 it this way. The Ukraine spokesman, spokesman, who is not exactly how that spokesman would appear

00:08:01.540 and that spokesman is exactly as you would expect if Hollywood were writing this as a movie. And this

00:08:08.180 spokesman has a message for Vladimir Putin. If you look at Putin's mouth, you'll notice that blood

00:08:14.720 drips from it. He's a vampire carrying out genocide against both Ukrainians and Russians alike. Vlad

00:08:23.000 Putin bathes in the blood of innocent children and enjoys it. And this is why the dictator of the

00:08:29.660 Russian Federation must be deposed and why peace talks have to be focused on President Zelensky's

00:08:37.840 10 point peace formula and the full liberation of Ukraine. We can get to Putin's physique in a minute.

00:08:47.040 I, I'm not really thinking about Putin's mouth and teeth and Adam's apple right now. I'm more focused

00:08:54.180 on the physique of this spokes lady for the Ukrainian military who looks a lot like this spokes lady has a 0.99

00:09:05.120 real chiseled jaw, you know, various kind of broad shoulders. And, and of course the spokesman for

00:09:14.600 the Ukrainian military is an American transvestite. Of course, because that would have to be the case 1.00

00:09:20.980 in the Hollywood movie version of this. And I'm not saying we're living in a simulation or anything

00:09:27.900 like that, but Hollywood is literally writing a lot of this, right? The liberal establishment

00:09:34.300 actually is writing a lot of the story of this war. The leader of Ukraine is a former actor,

00:09:38.600 highest paid actor in the world, made a hundred billion dollars last year. So of course,

00:09:43.640 you look at the Twitter bios of everyone who's really enthusiastically pro Ukraine, and it's always

00:09:50.860 huge libs with pronouns in their bio. And so of course the spokesman for the Ukrainian military is

00:09:59.280 an American transvestite. Of course, of course, I don't, I'm not rooting for Putin, 0.94

00:10:09.540 but these guys are making it really hard for me not to, okay? Because is it, is this Western values?

00:10:16.520 Is this it? Is this what we're fighting for? We're fighting to impose transgenderism on every 1.00

00:10:23.520 corner of this world. We're, that's why our great granddaddies, that's why our grandfathers

00:10:29.200 landed at Normandy and took all those bullets. These are the boys of Pointe du Ho, the men who took the

00:10:35.560 hills, scaled the cliffs so that men could chop their genitals off and prance around and pretend to 0.99

00:10:41.680 be women. That's it, right? Is that why, is that, if that's Western values, maybe we ought to 0.98

00:10:47.540 look domestically for a little while before we start spreading those around the world and start

00:10:53.180 to figure out, hey, is that really, are those really the values that built our civilization,

00:10:59.280 the beliefs that inspired the great heights of Western Christendom? I don't, I don't think so.

00:11:06.220 I don't think it is. And Hungarian president, Viktor Orban made this point just a few weeks ago.

00:11:15.680 He said, today, Western values means nothing more than LGBT, mass migration, and war. 0.61

00:11:24.460 And the liberals in the West, they say, oh my goodness, how dare that authoritarian Orban say

00:11:30.760 such a thing? And then they prove him completely right. Completely right. Not a good look for

00:11:36.780 Ukraine. This is a war that's already very unpopular among the American people. The majority

00:11:40.300 of Americans don't want to fund it anymore. Of course, our government doesn't care because

00:11:45.480 our government is no longer even pretending to be responsive to the people. And when the people

00:11:51.720 support a presidential candidate and the government fears that there's too big a threat that that person

00:11:58.220 will be elected, they just try to throw him in prison. Speaking of bad looks for the White House

00:12:02.420 and the unresponsiveness of this administration, White House spokesman Karine Jean-Pierre, who I'm

00:12:10.160 pleased to say is the sex that she presents herself as. Karine Jean-Pierre over at the White House

00:12:17.280 finally addressed the horrific wildfires in Hawaii. President Biden was approached on the beach,

00:12:26.260 asked to give a comment about this. And you've got a rising death toll, mass devastation in Maui.

00:12:33.780 And Biden says, no comment. No, I'm too busy. I'm too busy thinking about Ukraine or I'm too busy

00:12:38.640 thinking about the blood dripping from Dracula's mouth in Moscow or whatever. So no, I'm not going

00:12:44.220 to care about my own American citizens. Finally, Karine Jean-Pierre addresses it. She just gets some

00:12:48.820 details wrong. Senator Horino, who I said the president spoke to just last night, he thanked the president

00:12:55.460 for the immediate support of federal agencies have delivered for residents of Hawaii.

00:13:00.860 Senator Horino. Senator Horino, if you've never heard of her, or him, I guess, Karine Jean-Pierre

00:13:08.640 actually misgenders, actually misgenders the senator. Senator Horino is a woman and her name's not 1.00

00:13:16.100 Horino, it's Hirono. And she's not even just a minor backbench senator. She's a senator who's on TV

00:13:22.180 all the time. She never stops flapping her gums. And she's not even a Republican. Where perhaps the

00:13:27.460 president might be forgiven, or the White House spokesman might be forgiven for getting the name

00:13:33.120 wrong if it's a member of the opposition party. Senator Maisie Hirono is one of the outspoken,

00:13:37.940 most outspoken members of the president's own party. Not a great look. Because the president is

00:13:45.580 already being criticized for not caring at all about the devastation in Hawaii. And so the White 0.99

00:13:52.460 House comes out and says, what are you talking about? We care a lot. We are very concerned about

00:13:56.260 Hawaii. And Senator Horino, Hirono, Harippi, whatever. Anyway, what, he's a dude? Oh, it's a

00:14:03.340 chick? Okay, yeah, whatever. We're really focused, though, on what's going on in Hawaii. We don't even

00:14:07.360 know the name of the U.S. senator from that place in our own party, or the sex of that person. But hey,

00:14:12.640 we're on it. You can count on us. All right, now I've got to get back on the phone with the

00:14:18.900 Kazakh oligarchs so we can get a few more tens of millions of dollars for the big guy. 0.91

00:14:24.860 Thank you very much. Focused on the important things. Speaking of unfortunate videos of prominent

00:14:31.960 women, we now finally will get to the story that we teased a little bit yesterday. I wanted to make 0.98

00:14:36.960 sure we had enough time to get into it because it's dominated the national discourse. This, of course,

00:14:41.940 would be the that mother effer isn't real lady from the airplane who stood up and insisted that 1.00

00:14:50.140 there was a mother effer in the back of the airplane who was not real. And she said that the 0.88

00:14:55.600 rest of the passengers were free to stay on the airplane and die with the unreal person, but she 0.66

00:15:01.220 was going to leave the airplane. Then she disappeared, which I felt was good for her and would have been

00:15:07.260 much better for her had she remained anonymous. But the internet figured out who she was somehow.

00:15:12.000 And now this woman is issuing an apology. Hi, everyone. It's me, Tiffany Gomez, probably better

00:15:21.140 known as the crazy plane lady, which is completely warranted. As you know, I have been unwilling to 0.99

00:15:30.060 speak on the viral video, but I do finally. Can we just pause right here? This woman looks nothing 0.88

00:15:34.900 like the woman from the video. She looks nothing like her. She has a different hair color. Sure, 0.95

00:15:39.820 even her face looks different. I'm not saying it's a different person or invasion of the body

00:15:44.740 snatchers or something, but I'm saying it because had this woman just gone about her daily life, 0.97

00:15:52.800 no one would have recognized her. I don't know. She darkened her hair a little bit. I'm sure she 0.73

00:15:59.400 went through a tough time after that video went viral, but she's deciding for some reason to make

00:16:04.480 a big public spectacle of herself. Again, this time, I think probably more ill-advisedly than the first

00:16:11.160 time. I feel that it's time. First and foremost, I want to take full accountability for my actions.

00:16:22.320 They were completely unacceptable. Distressed or not, I should have been, I should have been in control

00:16:30.820 of my emotions and that was not the case. My use of profanity was completely unnecessary

00:16:40.060 and I want to apologize to everyone on that plane, especially those that had children aboard.

00:16:47.100 Can't imagine going through that and trying to explain to your kid what in the world

00:16:51.440 just happened.

00:16:53.520 So she goes on and on. This apology goes on for something like two minutes.

00:17:00.320 And I guess it's nice that she is apologizing for using naughty language around the kids,

00:17:07.220 even in our culture where kids hear this all the time. That's the appropriate thing to do. But

00:17:11.420 beyond that, why apologize? What happened? Did she have a psychotic episode? Well, then she has no

00:17:23.520 reason to apologize. She wasn't in control of herself. And I don't think through Vice or something 0.80

00:17:29.380 like that, she just went a little bit nuts for a moment. Is it because she was on some kind of

00:17:35.500 substance or something? I don't know. She doesn't mention that here. Is it because

00:17:39.180 why apologize? This is a phenomenon that has taken over the West in our social media age.

00:17:49.660 Jeremy has called out this weird phenomenon for a long time. Jeremy has called for the end of public

00:17:55.160 apologies by private persons. Public figures, politicians, heads of corporations, maybe they can

00:18:02.360 make public apologies. Why? This woman's not a public figure. If she wants to apologize, she can 1.00

00:18:08.100 apologize to the airline. She can write a note to them or something, have the airline forwarded out

00:18:12.800 to the passengers on the plane. But she doesn't owe me an apology. She doesn't owe you an apology.

00:18:18.860 Why does everybody think that every single little action, every impulse has to be public now?

00:18:25.860 Probably comes from a great place. Great comes from a good intention. She's trying to do the right

00:18:30.740 thing. So I'm really not knocking her or criticizing her, but I'm giving a warning to everybody else.

00:18:36.300 You don't owe the public an apology for your private actions most of the time.

00:18:44.120 The only people she owes an apology to are the airplane and maybe the people on that plane. She

00:18:48.560 doesn't owe one to the entire internet. We don't need to make every aspect of our lives at every level

00:18:56.560 of community an international phenomenon. We don't need to broadcast every single thing

00:19:03.480 to the world. Though I suppose because of technology, because of the growth of technology

00:19:11.660 such that we can transport messages across the world instantly, and because of the advance of

00:19:16.220 liberal ideology which erodes communities, the most basic political community, the family,

00:19:21.680 and local community and national borders and everything, because of the simultaneous advance

00:19:26.680 of those two phenomena, now we've lost all perspective of community. Everything's global and

00:19:34.640 every single message is a message to the world intended to go viral. And it does go viral.

00:19:40.240 It is like a virus. It is an epidemic of publicity. We don't need to be so transparent. Things can be

00:19:52.200 private or relatively private. As we lose the sense of the proper community, which comes through the

00:19:58.980 abolition of the family and borders and the eradication of federalism, decisions being made at a more local

00:20:04.120 level. As we lose that, the political order gets entirely wonky such that we've now got Americans as the

00:20:09.340 military spokesman in Ukraine, such that we've now got massive foreign influence in the United States

00:20:14.440 elections. We've got now the criminalization even of politics at the whims of a mob. Not good stuff.

00:20:25.980 Now, when your economic order is in the same sort of disarray that our political order is,

00:21:43.860 Speaking of apologies, there are calls for apology from Skittles now. Skittles

00:21:48.880 has a new package. These are for, I guess, white Skittles. But it's a white Skittle bag with white

00:21:58.880 colored Skittles, it looks like, or sketched in pencil. And a nice big rainbow, then a lot of

00:22:04.360 eccentric looking people, and then little statements. Joy is resistance. This is a liberal slogan. Joy is

00:22:14.880 resistance. They've got a little UFO saucer thing because, don't forget, UFOs are angels and demons

00:22:21.000 for liberals. So they got all the UFO stuff, little smileys, little hearts. And then this phrase,

00:22:27.940 black trans lives matter. I'm relieved to know that. My candy company recognizes that black trans lives

00:22:41.140 matter. There are three black trans identifying people on the face of the earth. I'm pretty sure.

00:22:49.580 I don't think the number is much higher than that. But I needed my global candy company to tell me that

00:22:56.480 their lives, their lives, much more than your life or my life, their lives really, really matter.

00:23:03.860 The crazy part of this story, which I am not allowed to talk about on YouTube. I can probably

00:23:14.460 talk about this part of the story. The crazy part of this story, Skittles getting involved in some

00:23:18.460 political activism, is this is not an example of ESG. All the time now, when we see some corporation go

00:23:30.540 really woke, we say, well, that's just ESG, the environmental social governance movement,

00:23:36.460 the set of far left policies being pushed by a handful of major asset managers, Vanguard, BlackRock,

00:23:43.560 State Street, combined control, a total of $20 trillion. And so what they do is they push their

00:23:49.820 woke agenda on the corporations and the corporations have to comply, even if the customers don't like it.

00:23:55.440 Skittles is privately owned. Skittles is owned by the Mars Corporation. Mars is a private company.

00:24:05.760 So this is not ESG. This was a decision by a regular old corporate board, not being pressured by

00:24:15.480 Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street. Why is Skittles doing it? The most interesting part of the Skittles

00:24:24.480 rainbow activism is, I think they leaned into it because Skittles are the color of the rainbow.

00:24:35.380 I think that their political stance was determined by the symbol that the company has always had.

00:24:43.080 The symbol which used to be an innocuous symbol that children loved, a rainbow. You'd have rainbows on

00:24:48.100 all sorts of kids' toys. That symbol is a happy symbol because traditionally, it was understood to

00:24:54.840 be the symbol that God gave to man in the covenant with Noah, where God says, I will not destroy the

00:25:02.100 world again in a flood. A natural symbol, or I guess a supernatural symbol given now and expressed in

00:25:09.060 nature, but given to us by God. But sometime about 40 years ago, a bunch of sexual revolutionary 0.89

00:25:18.640 activists decide to come in and take that symbol, appropriate it for themselves. So you got this

00:25:24.480 candy that just already has this symbol, and the leftist political activists go in and they say,

00:25:29.060 that's our symbol now. And so the symbol is now universally identified with the weird sex stuff.

00:25:34.700 And so the corporation just had their symbol remade through no fault of their own. And what did

00:25:43.460 they do? They decided to lean into it. These sexual activists appropriated a symbol and thereby 1.00

00:25:49.260 conquered every corporation that used that symbol, including Skittles. I talk a lot about the

00:25:56.520 importance of words and symbols. I wrote a book about it called Speechless, Controlling Words,

00:25:59.940 Controlling Minds, which is available obviously for wherever fine books are sold.

00:26:03.440 This is a brilliant way, a very subtle way, that the left takes over a political order. By conquering

00:26:13.040 those symbols, you thereby change the meaning of the institutions and the rituals and the art

00:26:22.060 that uses that symbol. You conquer that territory without ever having to even so much as knock on the

00:26:28.940 door of the door of the Mars Corporation. Now, enough about sexual revolutionary politics. Let's turn to

00:26:35.560 black revolutionary politics. There is a New York City Councilman, Charles Barron, bragging about

00:26:42.140 losing white constituents. I have the distinct honor to be able to come before you and say,

00:26:49.320 I actually lost white population in my community. I lost them. They left. They left. I didn't ask them 0.99

00:27:00.360 why. They left. So if you see one or two or three or four or five whites in my neighborhood, they're passing 0.97

00:27:08.920 through. But that's on a serious note. We got 13,000 black elected officials in this country.

00:27:18.520 We've had mayors. We've had governors. We have city council members. We need to get radical.

00:27:25.720 Oh, we have so many fewer white people in this neighborhood. I hate them. I hate those whites and 1.00

00:27:31.400 I want to drive them out. I'm so happy they're not here anymore. And if you do see a white man in my

00:27:36.640 neighborhood, just know he's just a tourist. He's just coming. But if he stays here too long,

00:27:41.340 we're going to chase him out. I hate white people. Now, seriously, on a serious note, I really hate 0.91

00:27:47.480 white people. And I don't want them to have any power or representation anywhere. I hate them. 1.00

00:27:53.420 Okay. But no, look, enough joking. Enough of the yucks around here. Okay. We got to get serious.

00:27:59.220 And I seriously hate white people. How many times does he need to tell you? What shall we say about 0.68

00:28:06.720 this? I know what I'm supposed to say. I know what I, a conservative political commentator

00:28:12.920 who has a show and a platform, I am supposed to say, pull my microphone here. Could you imagine,

00:28:21.620 could you even imagine if the shoe were on the other foot and he were a white man and he said that

00:28:27.700 about black people, could you even imagine the double standard, the hypocrisy? Could you imagine?

00:28:33.400 Keep imagining it. Okay. That's what I'm supposed to say. I don't want to say that because that's

00:28:39.780 extremely banal and obvious and is going to be the epitaph on the gravestone of conservatism.

00:28:46.880 Could you imagine if the situation were reversed, that would be so crazy, it'd be unimaginable.

00:28:50.960 So, my takeaway from these comments and similar comments that we've seen from left-wing politicians

00:28:57.900 in recent years is, when people call you a racist, it is never a sincere or meaningful attack.

00:29:08.840 Never. If it ever was sincere or meaningful, it is not anymore. It's not real.

00:29:13.840 White people are basically the only group that you can legally discriminate against. 0.72

00:29:21.500 The Asians get lumped in a little bit too. Socially, white people are the only group

00:29:26.240 that you are permitted to and actually encouraged to insult and mock. White people are the only group 1.00

00:29:34.060 whose decline, I'm not even just saying decline in power or prominence, I mean decline in numbers,

00:29:40.880 perhaps in existence, is the sort of thing that will be celebrated by the liberal media.

00:29:49.220 It's not a real art. When people call you a racist, all that means is, I don't like you,

00:29:54.180 you're bad, and I want you to shut up. So just don't take it seriously. This is my only takeaway.

00:29:58.920 The only reason I even bring up the story, my takeaway for conservatives, and not even just

00:30:04.340 for white conservatives. Because if you're a black conservative, if you're a Hispanic conservative, 0.51

00:30:08.780 if you're an Asian conservative, any color of conservative, you will be called a racist,

00:30:14.000 you will be called a white supremacist, no matter the color of your skin, no matter your racial

00:30:18.320 background. Larry Elder is the black face of white supremacy. Candace Owens, she's basically a 0.99

00:30:23.340 Klansman at this point, according to the liberal media. So it's for everybody, especially for white 0.99

00:30:27.800 people, but it's for anyone of any political, any literal stripe, any literal color, who happens to

00:30:36.320 be heterodox in the modern liberal establishment. Don't take it seriously. A liberal calls you a

00:30:42.700 racist, you say, oh, cool. Great. Awesome. Sure. Whatever. It's a meaningless word that you call.

00:30:49.080 Okay. No, but you're an alt-right, white supremacist, racist, super-Nazi. Cool. Oh,

00:30:56.220 cool, man. That's awesome. Wow. Great. Can I get like a patch to put on my jacket? You know,

00:31:01.120 like a letterman's patch or says that? Can I put that in my Twitter bio? Because it doesn't mean

00:31:05.520 anything. If Charles Barron says this in New York City, gets away with it. And this has been going

00:31:09.900 on for decades and decades. Remember Professor, was it Leonard Jeffries, Lionel Jeffries, the one

00:31:15.600 who said that black people are the good people of the sun, white people are the ice people without 1.00

00:31:19.360 souls. This stuff is repeated by celebrities. Even today, Nick Cannon repeated this stuff recently.

00:31:24.540 And Professor Jeffries's nephew, Hakeem Jeffries, is now the Democrat leader in the House of

00:31:28.800 Representatives. It's just a joke. Okay. You're a racist. Okay. I don't, I can't even deny it

00:31:39.800 because I don't even know what it means anymore because the word doesn't have any meaning anymore

00:31:43.460 other than you're bad. You're a baddie. You're a baddie. Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed

00:32:26.820 we talked about this letter that David Garrow, the biographer who's worked on Barack Obama,

00:32:35.680 and he's not just a biographer like he's doing a hit piece on Obama or something. This is a guy,

00:32:39.060 he won the Pulitzer Prize for biography in 1987. This is a very serious liberal biographer,

00:32:43.780 and he's writing this biography of Obama. He says, Obama's memoir, Dreams from My Father,

00:32:47.880 is a work of fiction. I know it. Obama knows it. Obama knows that I know it. When David Garrow met

00:32:54.500 with Obama in the Oval Office, Obama kind of taunted him about the details of his life that

00:32:58.560 he wouldn't show him. And then this guy found a letter that Obama had written to his girlfriend

00:33:07.220 at the time. It was back in 1982, and part of it was redacted by the girlfriend, and Garrow said,

00:33:12.660 well, why is this redacted? And she said, oh, it deals with homosexuality. That's all we know.

00:33:17.820 Well, now we have the unredacted letter. Here is what Obama said about his sexual orientation.

00:33:25.520 In regard to homosexuality, I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove oneself from 1.00

00:33:30.540 the present, a refusal, perhaps, to perpetuate the endless farce of earthly life. You see,

00:33:37.600 I make love to men daily, but in the imagination. Now this, I'm not just going to make fun of Obama

00:33:45.100 or try to gossip about him or anything like that. This is a profound statement. It's written like a

00:33:54.800 pompous young man would write, but Obama was only 21 years old at the time. And he was a pretty clever,

00:34:02.640 obviously ambitious kid, so I'm not surprised that he would write in that style.

00:34:06.060 He says, in regard to homosexuality, I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove

00:34:10.500 oneself from the present, a refusal, perhaps, to perpetuate the endless farce of earthly life.

00:34:14.840 Now, of course, I don't think earthly life is a farce. This is a very cynical atheist way of

00:34:19.960 talking. It's a farce, this hellish facade of the world that we're talking about. No, I think the world

00:34:24.220 is full of meaning, of course, and that it doesn't, it's not a farce at all. It's a happy comedy like

00:34:28.740 Dante would talk about. But he says homosexuality is a way to remove oneself from the process of

00:34:35.820 generation. That's true. That's obviously true. And he says, I make love to men daily,

00:34:40.580 but in my imagination. So he's saying, I have homosexual desires, but I don't carry them out.

00:34:44.960 And I was saying a couple of weeks ago, I think that social conservatives are a little too harsh

00:34:51.520 here. Because a lot of them want to kind of make fun of Obama for appearing to be a little bit light

00:34:58.560 in the loafers. But what he's saying is, I have homosexual desires and I'm suppressing them.

00:35:05.120 And I think, well, what's he supposed to do? Isn't that good? Isn't that what the social

00:35:09.820 conservatives want? Social conservatives who don't have this problem that Obama has,

00:35:17.100 it's very easy for us to say, well, ha ha, you know, he's fantasizing about men.

00:35:23.180 But imagine if you were like him and you had these homosexual desires. Today, 0.99

00:35:27.520 you would just be told, well, you got to carry that out. But Obama's saying, no, I do want to be,

00:35:31.080 even if it's a, it seems like a silly farce, I do want to participate in the process of creating life.

00:35:36.500 I do want a wife. I do want a family. I do, he probably obviously had political ambitions. I do

00:35:41.560 want to pursue my political ambitions. And so I'm going to subordinate my sexual desires to that.

00:35:47.380 Isn't that, shouldn't we as social conservatives have a little bit of grace

00:35:51.420 for people like Obama, who maybe have, you know, slightly eccentric sexual desires and say, oh,

00:35:57.660 well, he, all right, he's doing basically the thing that he wants to do. Now the letter gets

00:36:00.980 even crazier because Barack Obama doesn't just say that he's got these homosexual desires.

00:36:07.320 He suggests that he's a little bit trans.

00:36:13.480 How's that for a tease? When Dr. Jordan B. Peterson made the decision to join Daily Wire Plus,

00:37:15.840 Jonathan Perez 2H23, who says, it's not enough that Michael is such a tease. Now he's teasing his

00:37:22.420 teases I can't even right now. Wow, how providential that that comment came up just after I mentioned

00:37:29.260 a little tease. Here's what Obama said about his gender identity. My mind is androgynous to a great

00:37:39.200 extent, and I hope to make it more so until I can think in terms of people, not women as opposed to

00:37:44.120 men. But in returning to the body, I see that I have been made a man, and physically in life,

00:37:48.920 I choose to accept that contingency. I love, I love that expression. I give Obama a lot of credit.

00:37:58.220 I have greater respect for Obama's intellect and willpower, actually, after reading that than I did

00:38:06.280 before. And I know all the other conservatives are going to make fun of him and call him a fanook or

00:38:10.120 whatever. But this is really, this was commonplace thinking 20 years ago, 30 years ago. Now it's

00:38:19.120 pretty rare. He says, my mind is androgynous and to blah, blah, blah. Okay. He's a 21-year-old pompous

00:38:25.280 kid, and he's a liberal. So he's saying, oh, I'm so expansive. Nothing, no definition can contain me,

00:38:31.120 man. I'm just, I'm like a little, I'm a woman in the morning, a man in the afternoon. I don't want to

00:38:35.820 think in terms of these small categories, man. I'm so much bigger than that, you know. Okay, so he's

00:38:41.260 just talking like every pompous college junior you've ever met who is a liberal with notions of

00:38:46.640 grandeur. But then, what do you say? He goes, but in returning to the body, my mind feels androgynous.

00:38:57.240 Mind, meaning not a physical thing, but a metaphysical thing, right? The mind is not the brain.

00:39:01.300 The mind is closer to the soul, is what we would say. So he says, my soul feels male and female.

00:39:10.760 But in returning to the body, I see I've been made a man, and physically in life, I choose to accept

00:39:15.820 that contingency. This is very based. This is downright to mystic. He's saying, my soul is not

00:39:24.340 gendered. Thomas Aquinas would say, the soul is not gendered. But the body is sexed. Sex derives 0.87

00:39:33.100 from the body and applies to the whole individual, the whole person, because we're body and soul,

00:39:38.900 inextricably linked on earth. And he says, so I see that I'm a man, and I choose to accept that

00:39:44.040 contingency, which is very based, because not only is he saying, I will not be trans,

00:39:49.420 trans. He's also saying, I won't act on my homosexual desires, because I am a man. And being

00:39:57.180 a man implies not merely accepting the biological facts of our body, but also accepting the telos of

00:40:07.420 our body, the purpose of our body, what our body is for. This is far right-wing, social conservative,

00:40:17.060 conservative, traditional, Catholic teaching right here, coming out of Barack Obama.

00:40:25.400 What does that tell you? Does it tell you that Barack Obama is a secret conservative? It doesn't.

00:40:30.780 What it tells you is just how radically to the left the culture has gone in the last 40 years.

00:40:36.880 This was written in 1982, and everybody, even the liberals, understood, oh yeah, I've got a body.

00:40:43.340 That implies that I obviously can't pretend to be the opposite sex. And it also implies that I'm

00:40:48.360 supposed to do certain things with my body. That the highest and only moral maxim is not

00:40:52.900 simply, if it feels good, do it. Even Barack Obama was saying that. He may have changed his

00:40:58.860 view somewhere down the line, but that is pretty, pretty based. Next time someone tells you that you're

00:41:05.520 a social conservative and your views are fascistic and far right, you tell them that you have the same

00:41:12.220 views on sex and gender that Barack Obama had in 1982 while he was writing about his fantasies of

00:41:18.340 sleeping with men. Which brings us to this question. How did the culture move so left so fast?

00:41:30.240 A lot of it was the sexual revolution. I don't want to harp on the weird sex stuff too much. I like

00:41:34.840 to talk about, you know, I don't know, the indictments, the political order, the wars overseas,

00:41:39.700 immigration, trade, like all these important issues. But the sex stuff comes up a fair bit

00:41:44.620 because it's such a huge motivating factor in human nature. And because when the limits of behavior

00:41:53.820 have been eroded by, say, an act of sexual revolution, it becomes an even more pronounced

00:42:00.360 driver. And it's because it's the instrument by which the libs have taken over a lot of the culture. 1.00

00:42:04.440 And one way they've done it, one way to explain the huge advance of degeneracy in recent decades

00:42:10.720 is pornography. The ubiquity of internet pornography. It's just something we've never seen before

00:42:15.440 ever in the history of human life. Now it's virtually everywhere. And people say,

00:42:22.120 conservatives such as I would say, we should heavily regulate it. If we can't ban it entirely,

00:42:26.980 we should heavily regulate it. And you've got liberals and some libertarians saying,

00:42:31.320 well, no, we can't. We can't regulate it. We need the internet to be free, man. Let people watch

00:42:35.780 whatever degraded filth they want to watch. You know, it's a free country, man. Whatever. Even

00:42:39.880 though it's, even by the letter of the law today, this stuff is already illegal because it violates

00:42:45.940 obscenity laws. It's just liberal judges have changed the standards for obscenity. So how would

00:42:50.660 you regulate it? People say, well, give me a concrete action. How would you regulate it? Here's how you

00:42:54.100 would regulate it. You would require people to prove that they are at least 18 when they access even just

00:42:59.380 the main porn site, the one owned by MindGeek, which is the biggest porn conglomerate in the

00:43:03.220 world, Pornhub. You just say, okay, in order to access this website, you have to prove that you're

00:43:08.420 your age. Now the libertarians will respond and say, so you want to give a porn company every ID in

00:43:16.060 America? Or I don't know, 70% of IDs in America, 80% of IDs in America? My answer to that is no.

00:43:21.940 Now, if you pass that regulation, first of all, Pornhub would just stop operating because they

00:43:27.280 know that preying on children is crucial to the success of their industry. That's why they've

00:43:32.160 pulled out of Utah. That's why they've pulled out of several states that have passed these age

00:43:35.920 requirement laws. They would rather not do business in those states than comply with an age check

00:43:40.960 because they need to prey on kids. But even if it went through and Pornhub were still operating,

00:43:47.640 Pornhub would not get all the IDs in America because most people, the vast majority of people,

00:43:51.940 would be too ashamed to submit their ID. The moment you took anonymity away from it,

00:43:56.340 most people, other than the most hardened perverts, would stop looking at it. Because

00:44:00.900 the law is not merely shaped by the culture, as the libertarians say. There's some truth to that,

00:44:07.680 of course, but the law is also a teacher and also shapes culture. And if you pass that simple kind

00:44:13.780 of a regulation, the effect of that, I think Americans still have enough shame that that would

00:44:20.460 greatly reduce the indulgence in that vice, and it would greatly, greatly reduce the presence of all

00:44:28.480 sorts of social pathologies that we're not allowed to talk about on YouTube. Here's a little tease for

00:44:34.200 tomorrow. Speaking of bad behavior, did you know that almost one in five Americans are now puffing the

00:44:40.460 devil's lettuce? No, listen, there are going to be a lot of people watching, listening to this show

00:44:47.120 right now who like to have a little hit on the sin spinach. It's not good. It's not good. It's not

00:44:55.740 good. We'll talk about it tomorrow. The rest of the show continues now. You don't want to miss it

00:44:58.980 because today is, they've informed me I'm not allowed to say the name of the member segment today.

00:45:05.800 It's Tuesday. We have, you know, Music Monday, Woke Wednesday. We have something Tuesday, but I'm not

00:45:11.860 allowed to say the name of the day on YouTube. So I'll have to use a euphemism. So I could, I thought
