The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1335 - Libs Take Another Step Towards Socialism In Chicago

00:00:00.000 The city of Chicago has a food problem.

00:00:02.600 Grocery chains don't want to open new stores there.

00:00:05.840 And the stores that are there are about to close.

00:00:09.280 The problem has been brewing for a while, but it's gotten much worse in recent years.

00:00:13.640 For instance, the number of Chicago residents living more than a mile away from a grocery store

00:00:18.920 has jumped by 63% since 2013.

00:00:23.500 The liberals are blaming the growing food desert on the usual suspects.

00:00:28.840 It's racism, discrimination, inequality.

00:00:34.260 In fact, the problem is crime, shoplifting, and vandalism.

00:00:39.540 As one Walmart representative told the New York Post,

00:00:42.480 quote, collectively, our Chicago stores have not been profitable

00:00:46.020 since we opened the first one nearly 17 years ago.

00:00:51.620 So what is Chicago going to do about it?

00:00:54.220 Are Chicago officials going to arrest the criminals?

00:00:57.540 No, of course not.

00:00:59.460 They're going to open government-owned grocery stores instead. 0.96

00:01:03.960 That is the proposal by Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to address the food desert crisis.

00:01:09.940 Now, you might be thinking that it's crazy to turn America's second city into a Midwestern Soviet state

00:01:17.040 when you could just as easily keep ShopRite and Whole Foods and all the rest of them

00:01:20.960 by simply arresting the criminals.

00:01:22.740 But that reaction supposes that Chicago officials don't want to turn the city into a Soviet state.

00:01:30.480 That reaction supposes that the liberal ruling class considers the criminals a problem,

00:01:36.520 when in fact, they are a part of the liberals' solution.

00:01:40.280 A term that has gained traction recently for this situation is anarcho-tyranny,

00:01:46.660 a paradoxical state in which the government meticulously, oppressively regulates citizens' lives,

00:01:54.400 while at the same time refusing to enforce basic aspects of the law.

00:01:59.020 The government sends a right-wing private citizen to prison for 10 years

00:02:03.780 for tweeting some run-of-the-mill memes in the case of Douglas Mackey.

00:02:08.040 And at the same time lets BLM and Antifa off the hook for looting,

00:02:13.240 killing, and burning the country down for eight months.

00:02:15.700 Then, the state uses the chaos that it created to justify taking even more power.

00:02:22.000 Pretty soon, the government is running the grocery stores.

00:02:26.540 You and I look at Chicago as a failed city.

00:02:30.480 The left looks at it as a massive success.

00:02:33.380 Yes, expect a similar program to come to a city near you if it hasn't already.

00:03:12.760 Louis C.K. has the perfect liberal argument on immigration, which is, of course, open borders.

00:03:19.700 And the reason for the open borders is that America shouldn't be so nice.

00:03:23.040 We'll get to that argument in just one second.

00:03:25.180 It's not just Louis.

00:03:25.800 It's very, very typical.

00:03:26.960 First, though, we turn to the subject of crime and law and order.

00:03:31.640 To Attorney General Merrick Garland, who insists that contrary to whatever you might think,

00:03:39.900 America has only one system of justice for everybody.

00:03:44.040 That means we apply the same laws to everyone.

00:03:48.260 There is not one set of laws for the powerful and another for the powerless, one for the rich and another for the poor, one for Democrats and another for Republicans, or different rules depending upon one's race or ethnicity or religion.

00:04:03.480 I'm going to give him credit for one thing, which is that he was able to say that with a straight face.

00:04:10.700 That is amazing.

00:04:11.660 The example we just cited, Douglas Mackey, this random private citizen who happens to be right wing, tweets out a meme, a joke meme about the election.

00:04:21.120 And it's an old joke, by the way.

00:04:22.480 It's the old joke where if you're on a campaign, you're going door to door, you're talking to voters.

00:04:27.640 They say, when's the election?

00:04:28.960 And you say, are you a Republican or a Democrat?

00:04:31.240 If you're a Republican, the election's on Tuesday.

00:04:33.180 If you're a Democrat, the election's on Wednesday.

00:04:35.000 Ha, ha, ha.

00:04:36.300 Douglas Mackey, that was the meme.

00:04:37.440 He tweeted out, hey, Democrats, tweet your vote.

00:04:39.480 Please don't show up to the polls.

00:04:40.900 Just tweet your vote.

00:04:41.800 Ha, ha, ha.

00:04:42.480 They're going to send him to prison for 10 years for that.

00:04:45.660 Meanwhile, BLM murders people, burns cities to the ground, loots, steals Nike shoes, creates havoc for eight months.

00:04:54.820 Many, if not most of them, are let off without so much as a slap on the wrist.

00:04:59.160 But we have one system of justice for everybody, don't we?

00:05:01.780 Basically, Donald Trump makes a phone call to Ukraine, gets impeached for it.

00:05:08.620 Now he's been indicted four times as the former president leader of the opposition.

00:05:12.940 Joe Biden brags on camera about firing a prosecutor in Ukraine who was investigating his son's crooked business deals, threatening to withhold a billion dollars in aid.

00:05:23.120 Joe Biden is caught on camera admitting to doing a more egregious version of the thing for which they impeached Donald Trump.

00:05:29.200 No problem, no investigation, no big deal.

00:05:32.920 And Merrick Garland says, one set of rules for everybody, it's not a two-tiered justice system.

00:05:38.180 What are you talking about?

00:05:40.100 Sam Brinton, who is the kleptomaniac, transvestite, former nuclear waste czar for the Biden administration, try to say that five times fast.

00:05:48.240 Sam Brinton was caught on camera in multiple cities stealing women's luggage.

00:05:53.740 And then he was caught on camera wearing the women's clothing from the luggage afterward and the jewelry.

00:05:58.760 We're talking not just about a $100 dress from Kohl's.

00:06:03.060 We're talking about thousands and thousands of dollars worth of clothing and jewelry, which in a normal society would have probably raised some eyebrows on account of it was women's clothing and he is a man.

00:06:13.660 But in our society, we don't even notice it anymore.

00:06:16.960 We just sort of shrug and move along.

00:06:19.440 But Sam Brinton was caught dead to rights.

00:06:22.000 And he gets arrested finally.

00:06:24.440 And then what happens?

00:06:26.300 He's been let off the hook at every turn.

00:06:29.800 Sam Brinton has already avoided jail time twice in Minnesota and Nevada for doing this.

00:06:36.280 Meanwhile, the Horn Hat guy, who peaceably walks around the Capitol on January 6th, the worst day in the history of this or any republic, he's escorted by police.

00:06:45.680 He's getting a private tour from the Capitol Hill police.

00:06:47.760 That guy goes to prison for 41 months.

00:06:50.540 Sam Brinton, a weirdo criminal who is caught on camera committing multiple crimes.

00:06:55.440 Oh, he just goes free.

00:06:56.280 No big deal.

00:06:57.720 And Garland says we have one set of justice in this country, one set of rules for everybody.

00:07:03.620 He's a good actor.

00:07:04.440 Merrick Garland was confronted about the fact that his Justice Department, his FBI, was spying on Catholic churches because his FBI, according to memos that we saw, not just in one little office, but in multiple offices, viewed traditional Catholics as a terror threat, an extremist threat in America.

00:07:23.780 Here's Garland's reaction to being called out for it.

00:07:26.240 Attorney General, through the chair, I ask you, do you agree that traditional Catholics are violent extremists?

00:07:32.300 I have no idea what your, what the traditional means here.

00:07:37.780 Catholics, Catholics, let go to church. 1.00

00:07:40.080 May I answer your question?

00:07:41.040 Yes or no.

00:07:41.180 The idea that someone with my family background would discriminate against any religion is so outrageous, so absurd.

00:07:51.280 Mr. Attorney General, it was your FBI that did this.

00:07:54.440 It was your FBI that was sending, and we have the memos.

00:07:58.580 We have the emails.

00:07:59.440 So, you notice already in that very short clip, Merrick Garland tried two different tactics, neither of which were particularly convincing.

00:08:11.240 First, he's confronted with it.

00:08:12.660 Say, hey, do you think traditional Catholics are a terror threat?

00:08:16.140 He goes, oh, I don't even know what that means.

00:08:17.700 What's a traditional Catholic?

00:08:19.600 Huh?

00:08:20.220 This is what they do on the word.

00:08:21.180 What's woke even mean?

00:08:22.900 I don't even know.

00:08:23.880 What is Antifa?

00:08:25.160 Like, is that even an organization?

00:08:26.420 So, he tries to play dumb, and then the congressman, congressman Drew, congressman Van Drew, rather, says, man, it's in the memo.

00:08:36.560 I don't know.

00:08:37.160 Your team defined it.

00:08:38.640 You tell me what traditional Catholics mean.

00:08:40.440 And then Garland flips the strategy, flips the tactic to feigned outrage.

00:08:47.200 He says, how dare you even suggest that somebody with my background?

00:08:54.120 And I said, what background?

00:08:55.860 Was Merrick Garland ever a political prisoner or a prisoner persecuted for his religious views?

00:09:01.480 I looked it up, and all I could find is he's Jewish, and some of his ancestors were persecuted, which is a safe bet. 0.99

00:09:09.020 If you're Jewish, some of your ancestors have been.

00:09:10.720 This is true for all of us, actually.

00:09:12.460 Some of your ancestors, regardless of your racial or ethnic background, have been persecuted for some aspect of their identity.

00:09:18.660 But that's it.

00:09:21.320 There's nothing particular there.

00:09:23.240 And he says, could you imagine that someone with my background would persecute Catholics?

00:09:28.760 Yeah, I can imagine, because you did it, bro.

00:09:31.280 You did it.

00:09:32.440 We saw the memos, and then you lied about it.

00:09:35.360 Keep going.

00:09:35.720 We're sending undercover agents into Catholic churches.

00:09:39.820 Both I and the director of the FBI have said that we were appalled by that memo.

00:09:46.920 So then you agree that they're not extremists.

00:09:48.880 We were appalled by that memo.

00:09:50.420 Are they extremists or not, Attorney General?

00:09:52.660 I think that—

00:09:53.560 Are they extremists or not, Attorney General?

00:09:55.140 Everything in that memo is appalling.

00:09:56.620 Are they extremists or not?

00:09:57.820 I'm asking a simple question.

00:09:59.200 Say no if you think that was wrong.

00:10:00.720 Catholics are not extremists.

00:10:02.200 No.

00:10:02.600 Was anyone fired for drafting and circulating the anti-Catholic memo?

00:10:08.500 You have in front of you the inspection division's investigation—

00:10:12.860 Just tell me yes or no, please.

00:10:14.500 I don't know the answer.

00:10:14.940 You have no time.

00:10:15.680 I don't know the answer to that.

00:10:17.300 I don't know the answer.

00:10:18.280 Well, then the answer is no.

00:10:20.000 Then the answer is no.

00:10:22.040 Did you—

00:10:22.540 Are Catholics extremists?

00:10:24.200 No, I don't—

00:10:25.200 I don't—

00:10:26.200 I mean, I don't want to—

00:10:27.400 I don't—

00:10:27.620 Can you just answer the question, please?

00:10:28.980 Are the people that you describe in the memo are traditional Catholics extremists?

00:10:31.900 Well, what do you—

00:10:32.740 I just want to make the point that, hey, bro, answer the question.

00:10:35.160 And then he doesn't answer the question.

00:10:36.780 He says Catholics are not extremists.

00:10:38.500 But hold on.

00:10:38.980 You defined Catholics in a very particular way.

00:10:43.240 You're talking about this subset that you've defined in your memos of traditional Catholics.

00:10:47.600 That's what we're talking about.

00:10:48.800 So you might say, no, Catholics like Stephen Colbert, they're not extremists.

00:10:52.420 Catholics like Libs, who don't take doctrine and dogma totally seriously, they're not extremists.

00:10:59.960 But the ones in whom the dogma lives loudly, to quote Dianne Feinstein, referring to Justice

00:11:04.880 Amy Coney Barrett, oh, they—maybe they are extremists.

00:11:09.420 I don't—I would never do any such thing.

00:11:11.800 Your DOJ, your FBI did that.

00:11:16.320 And the key here is, not only did they do it, and then they denied it, the head of the

00:11:21.180 FBI and now Merrick Garland, they deny that they had the Catholic memo.

00:11:25.260 But then what did they say?

00:11:26.580 They said, no, okay, it was only in one field office.

00:11:29.220 But then what did we find out?

00:11:30.120 We found out that was a lie.

00:11:31.280 This was spread out among multiple field offices.

00:11:35.240 And they lied about doing it.

00:11:37.740 They lied about having done it.

00:11:38.820 And I promise you, they're going to lie about doing it again.

00:11:42.660 Doesn't look good.

00:12:55.980 Speaking of law and order, Danny Masterson, who's the actor from That 70s Show, has been

00:13:00.940 sentenced to 30 years to life in prison.

00:13:04.420 Just a shockingly long prison sentence.

00:13:09.640 He's 47 years old.

00:13:11.460 30 years plus 47 is not quite life in prison, but it's pretty close.

00:13:17.740 You're 77 when you get out of there.

00:13:19.620 You're starting to get up there when you're at 77.

00:13:22.680 So I read the allegations against him, and some people are saying they don't even believe

00:13:30.040 the allegations.

00:13:30.980 I basically believe the women, or at least I don't see much reason not to believe the 0.81

00:13:37.740 women broadly.

00:13:38.940 There are some discrepancies, I think, between what they alleged happened and what they are

00:13:44.120 said to have alleged happened back when it happened.

00:13:46.560 And that's the real point here.

00:13:49.900 These crimes are alleged to have happened over 20 years ago, between 2001 and 2003.

00:13:58.040 And so even if you, like me, give these women the benefit of the doubt, you don't think that

00:14:03.860 they're intentionally lying.

00:14:05.500 You assume that virtually everyone in Hollywood is a complete degenerate, so you assume that

00:14:10.160 maybe Danny Masterson did get up to this stuff in his past.

00:14:12.900 If you're going to be all the way on the side of the accusers here, even still, you, probably

00:14:19.080 like me, have a sense that this is not just, that there's something unjust about this sentence

00:14:25.520 to Danny Masterson in the year of our Lord, 2023, for 30 years in prison for crimes that

00:14:31.320 were alleged to have happened over 20 years ago.

00:14:33.220 Why?

00:14:33.600 Because we just feel that if, if, if a crime is committed against you, you should, you should

00:14:42.720 bring charges in a timely manner.

00:14:45.020 That's why we have things like statutes of limitations.

00:14:48.180 But in this case, there's no more statute of limitations.

00:14:51.400 Why is that?

00:14:52.380 Well, because earlier this year, in January of 2023, LA got rid of the statute of limitations

00:14:56.940 on rape.

00:14:57.520 And LA did that because of the Me Too movement and the Time's Up movement and the facade of,

00:15:03.460 of girl power that the sexual predators who run Los Angeles are going to permit to exist 1.00

00:15:10.440 for a little bit of time before they go back to just committing all of the same crimes that

00:15:14.460 they've been committing for, for decades, for like a century now.

00:15:19.420 That's what this is about.

00:15:20.360 And statutes of limitations are good.

00:15:22.120 What the, what the Me Too Time's Up people will say is, statutes of limitations are awful

00:15:26.720 because they silence the survivors of sexual assault.

00:15:30.320 Statutes of limitations protect the rights of everybody.

00:15:33.820 The reason we have them is because 20 years later, evidence is going to be lost.

00:15:41.120 Evidence is going to be suspect.

00:15:44.880 Memories are going to be foggy.

00:15:47.000 I could sincerely believe that something happened 20 years ago.

00:15:51.880 And sometimes I do.

00:15:52.580 I'll say, I know that this happened 20 years ago.

00:15:54.580 And then a friend of mine with whom I had shared that experience will say, oh no, Michael,

00:15:58.440 you're just misremembering that.

00:15:59.960 I mean, that could happen for something that happened five or 10 years ago.

00:16:02.820 People's memories are not reliable, especially over that long period of time.

00:16:07.820 So that's the first issue is the statute of limitations thing.

00:16:10.720 Because they just got rid of it, it just seems unjust.

00:16:14.780 Even if Danny Masterson did precisely or even approximately what they're accusing him of doing,

00:16:21.240 it's just something seems wrong about that system.

00:16:23.220 The second thing that this is about is Scientology.

00:16:25.680 And one of the reasons I believe the women, or am inclined to believe the women, 0.64

00:16:29.940 is they did bring up this issue.

00:16:33.580 They did bring up the crimes that allegedly happened to them at the time.

00:16:37.340 But they often didn't bring them up to law enforcement.

00:16:40.180 Or they didn't bring them up directly to law enforcement.

00:16:41.780 They first brought them up to Scientology, because they're all Scientologists.

00:16:45.620 So they're part of this cult.

00:16:46.900 And in this cult, they say, don't ever go to the police about anything.

00:16:49.900 Just come to us, which is typical of cults.

00:16:52.860 And so these women went to the Scientology ethics officers. 0.95

00:16:56.280 And they said, hey, this guy raped me, or at the very least took advantage of me,

00:17:00.580 or assaulted me, or something in between.

00:17:03.820 And the ethics officer said, yeah, well, he's big and famous and important.

00:17:06.820 So keep your mouth shut.

00:17:07.660 And then they did.

00:17:10.640 In some cases, the women kept dating Masterson.

00:17:13.380 They kept showing up to his house.

00:17:14.880 So that is not to say that he didn't commit some egregious act against them,

00:17:21.300 or that he didn't even commit a crime against them.

00:17:22.960 But it is to say, you play stupid games, you get stupid prizes, I guess.

00:17:28.940 If you decide to put your justice, your experience of justice, into the hands of ethics officers in a cult,

00:17:37.940 well, things probably aren't going to work out in a very just way.

00:17:42.080 If you continue to date someone after you allege that they commit a terrible crime against you,

00:17:47.500 people are going to raise an eyebrow, or maybe be a little bit skeptical of your claims,

00:17:52.660 especially if those claims come out decades later.

00:17:55.060 And what is this really about?

00:17:57.240 It's not even just about Scientology, it's about Hollywood.

00:18:00.100 This is how Hollywood operates.

00:18:02.480 Talked about this earlier in the week.

00:18:04.780 Hollywood, as a particularly egregious example of the whole liberal establishment,

00:18:09.600 operates in a way that is kind of outside the law,

00:18:14.320 certainly outside the moral law, often outside of the civil law,

00:18:17.760 where you will be encouraged to engage in really depraved, degrading things,

00:18:21.640 especially weird sex stuff.

00:18:23.620 And then it just kind of goes away for a while until it doesn't, until it's convenient,

00:18:31.860 until you're no longer useful to them, or until it's convenient to throw you under the bus

00:18:35.620 as an offering to the wolves, and that's what they'll do to you.

00:18:39.360 Nobody comes out of this looking particularly good.

00:18:43.880 I think that's generally true of Hollywood, and it's generally true of our liberal culture.

00:18:51.460 But the problem here is not going to be resolved just by throwing Danny Masterson in prison.

00:18:55.740 The problem is going to be resolved by working and correcting the entire structures of justice,

00:19:02.520 which have a cultural component in the behavior and norms of Hollywood,

00:19:05.520 which have a political component in the way that our justice system works,

00:19:09.760 which is quite unjust these days.

00:19:11.800 And it ultimately has a theological component in the toleration of weirdo cults like this

00:19:17.900 that victimize women, according to many, many reports.

00:19:21.420 This is what is inescapable.

00:19:24.920 And it's a problem that affects our entire political order.

00:19:29.800 All politics ultimately comes down to religion.

00:19:32.440 Cardinal Manning put this well.

00:19:33.900 He said, all human conflict ultimately is theological.

00:19:37.620 There never has been and never can be a state that is divorced from religion and theological matters

00:19:44.560 because politics is about how we all live together.

00:19:48.620 It has to do with laws, and ultimately laws come down to the moral law,

00:19:52.160 and ultimately it comes down to the question of the author of the moral law.

00:19:55.560 Politics has to do with people.

00:19:57.540 It comes down to the question of anthropology,

00:19:58.880 and it comes down to the question of who is man?

00:20:01.720 In whose image are we made?

00:20:04.020 It has to do with, ultimately, God,

00:20:09.340 because God is the author and sustainer of all things.

00:20:13.260 And as long as we keep putting off the question,

00:20:16.540 and we say, oh, God has nothing to do with society.

00:20:18.320 We're going to totally divorce church from state.

00:20:22.040 Morality is just socially constructed, whatever.

00:20:24.500 Then weirdo cults are going to continue to prey on people,

00:20:27.940 and tyrannical political leaders are going to continue to flout the moral law,

00:20:35.760 and people are going to continue to act in a way that's very, very bad.

00:20:41.760 It's not good.

00:21:55.840 Things continue to heat up

00:21:56.940 in the new Daily Wear Plus series, Convicting a Murderer.

00:21:59.940 Apparently, Stephen Avery from behind bars

00:22:01.900 is directing his fans to flood Rotten Tomatoes

00:22:04.920 and give Convicting a Murderer a bad review.

00:22:07.460 He and his Facebook group, Stephen Avery is Innocent,

00:22:10.140 are even referring to Convicting a Murderer as garbage,

00:22:13.680 as if the opinion of a convicted murderer

00:22:15.600 is of any value to anyone.

00:22:16.920 Nevertheless, it seems we've made Stephen Avery

00:22:19.500 and his fans very, very angry,

00:22:21.500 which means the series is doing its job.

00:22:23.460 And we're about to double down with episode five.

00:22:26.460 Take a look.

00:22:28.120 Coming up on Convicting a Murderer.

00:22:30.740 Well, you think that the Sheriff's Department

00:22:32.460 is framing you because of the lawsuit, right?

00:22:35.040 That's what I think.

00:22:35.860 Okay.

00:22:36.900 James Lank, Andy Colburn.

00:22:38.880 They were involved in the old case,

00:22:40.220 and here they are again in this new case.

00:22:42.480 Stephen Avery is released from prison

00:22:43.740 after being wrongfully convicted.

00:22:45.120 Avery's attorneys say those hardships

00:22:47.000 are worth $36 million.

00:22:49.220 Why were Manitowoc officers involved

00:22:51.000 when there was a $36 million pending lawsuit against them?

00:22:55.920 Lank and Colburn were villains,

00:22:57.660 the main ones accused of planting evidence.

00:23:00.760 Were you asked to perform a thorough search

00:23:04.060 of this piece of furniture?

00:23:06.360 Yes.

00:23:07.460 Suddenly, I hear Lieutenant Lank say,

00:23:11.000 there's a key on the floor.

00:23:12.760 I knew the significance of that.

00:23:16.120 And I said, you guys just f***ed up my case.

00:23:24.660 New episodes are released every Thursday,

00:23:26.780 exclusively at Daily Wire Plus.

00:23:27.860 Head over there now to start the series

00:23:34.780 Speaking of celebrities,

00:23:36.140 there's a picture going viral

00:23:37.200 of Donald Trump on the campaign trail

00:23:38.860 signing a woman's chest.

00:23:41.260 I say chest because it's high up enough

00:23:44.600 that it's not totally untoward.

00:23:46.700 Trump also clearly has very,

00:23:48.460 very strong autograph discipline

00:23:51.240 because even as he's signing this woman's chest,

00:23:54.340 his hand is not touching.

00:23:55.900 His hand is, you can see a shadow

00:23:57.040 on the lady's white tank top.

00:23:59.580 And she's smiling.

00:24:00.560 She's so excited.

00:24:01.180 People all around him in this bar

00:24:03.160 like they're meeting a celebrity,

00:24:07.300 which they are.

00:24:07.820 And I mentioned the photo

00:24:10.580 to return to an objection

00:24:14.160 that some Republicans are making,

00:24:15.800 anti-Trump Republicans are making,

00:24:17.480 which is they'll say,

00:24:19.060 yeah, Trump's a celebrity,

00:24:20.840 but people shouldn't care about celebrities.

00:24:23.760 This election should not come down

00:24:27.260 to personality and charm

00:24:30.140 and charisma and celebrity, damn it.

00:24:32.880 That's not what this election should be about.

00:24:35.460 To which I respond,

00:24:38.220 have you ever seen an election?

00:24:42.100 Have you ever,

00:24:42.900 have you ever read about democracy?

00:24:47.100 Do you ever met any people?

00:24:48.960 Do you know how people work?

00:24:50.260 What do you mean?

00:24:51.720 It shouldn't be about celebrity.

00:24:53.220 You, it is, it is.

00:24:56.220 It's democratic politics, man.

00:24:58.540 It's a popularity contest.

00:25:01.960 Celebrity matters.

00:25:03.440 Well, it shouldn't matter.

00:25:04.580 Okay, well, the sun shouldn't shine today.

00:25:06.180 Okay, but it does.

00:25:07.160 It's just a fact of life.

00:25:08.660 This is how human beings operate.

00:25:10.040 And it's especially how democracies operate.

00:25:13.420 So you can whine and cry about it,

00:25:16.420 pull your hair out, 0.94

00:25:17.300 or you can accept political reality

00:25:20.980 as it is and always will be,

00:25:22.740 and then try to work from within it.

00:25:24.680 This is just a fact.

00:25:27.800 Having lived in New York and LA,

00:25:30.240 I've met a number of celebrities

00:25:31.580 and I've seen celebrities up close

00:25:33.840 and I have wondered for many a year,

00:25:36.540 why is it that celebrities

00:25:38.420 have the effect on people that they do?

00:25:41.500 Why is it that the line that got Trump

00:25:43.380 in the most trouble in 2016,

00:25:44.940 the Access Hollywood tape,

00:25:46.760 said when you're a celebrity,

00:25:49.260 women let you do it. 1.00

00:25:50.500 They let you do whatever,

00:25:51.440 you can do whatever you want.

00:25:52.820 Women let you do it. 1.00

00:25:54.060 And everyone was so offended

00:25:55.120 and clutched their pearls.

00:25:56.840 And I thought,

00:25:58.280 it's a vulgar thing to say,

00:26:00.820 but it's especially vulgar

00:26:02.560 and off-putting

00:26:03.620 because it's so obviously true.

00:26:06.340 Yes,

00:26:07.800 celebrity really matters.

00:26:10.000 When people are pulling their hair out,

00:26:11.480 they say,

00:26:11.660 I just don't know why Donald Trump

00:26:13.400 is 40,

00:26:15.000 50 points ahead in the polls.

00:26:16.560 He shouldn't be.

00:26:17.560 He said some stupid thing,

00:26:19.040 which he did.

00:26:19.600 And he did some stupid thing as president.

00:26:21.760 Yeah,

00:26:21.980 he did.

00:26:22.360 He did a number of them.

00:26:23.460 And he is not as good

00:26:25.520 on this particular issue

00:26:26.820 as some other candidate.

00:26:28.040 Yeah,

00:26:28.220 that's probably true too.

00:26:31.520 He's got it,

00:26:32.540 man.

00:26:32.860 I don't know what to tell.

00:26:33.540 He's just,

00:26:34.060 yeah,

00:26:34.260 he's a celebrity.

00:26:35.000 Putin called this in 2016.

00:26:36.420 And you might say,

00:26:37.300 Putin's a dirty,

00:26:37.860 rotten fellow,

00:26:38.280 but the guy knows how to hold on to power.

00:26:39.960 And Vladimir Putin said,

00:26:41.720 oh,

00:26:41.960 it's very clear in this GOP primary,

00:26:43.960 Donald Trump is far and away the leader.

00:26:46.460 He just has something about him

00:26:47.800 that attracts people to him.

00:26:49.600 And so if you want to beat Trump,

00:26:51.500 and I know there are a lot of people

00:26:52.880 who really hate Trump

00:26:53.760 and they want to beat him,

00:26:55.300 you need to try to match that.

00:26:58.240 And it's probably not going to happen

00:26:59.860 because the guy's been a celebrity

00:27:00.840 and is an American original

00:27:01.700 for like 40 years now,

00:27:02.800 but you've got to match that.

00:27:04.740 If your only response to that,

00:27:08.220 to this guy being a freaking rock star

00:27:10.320 on the campaign trail

00:27:11.220 and signing women's chests, 0.97

00:27:12.620 if your only response is,

00:27:13.800 well,

00:27:14.240 sure,

00:27:14.540 but my candidate,

00:27:15.540 he's more competent.

00:27:16.880 He's got the charisma of competence.

00:27:18.780 Then you can keep muttering that to yourself

00:27:21.120 until your candidate's out of the race.

00:27:23.140 And you can shoot the messenger if you like,

00:27:25.140 but that is just a fact.

00:27:26.520 In every single presidential race,

00:27:30.280 certainly in my lifetime,

00:27:31.920 and before,

00:27:32.520 maybe ever with,

00:27:35.260 maybe the exception would be Calvin Coolidge,

00:27:37.620 the more charismatic candidate wins.

00:27:41.620 Every time.

00:27:43.420 Every time.

00:27:45.160 Within certain boundaries,

00:27:48.340 within,

00:27:48.740 trying to calculate for certain eccentricities,

00:27:52.780 it happens.

00:27:53.280 Trump, obviously,

00:27:54.160 in 2016.

00:27:55.600 Before that,

00:27:56.840 Romney.

00:27:58.080 It's not Mr. Charisma,

00:27:59.420 but more so than many of his competitors.

00:28:02.600 But he lost the general

00:28:03.760 because Obama was more charismatic than him.

00:28:05.620 John McCain had a little more ethos to him

00:28:07.580 than some of his competitors.

00:28:09.400 But even controlling for that,

00:28:12.640 Obama,

00:28:13.100 much more charismatic than John McCain.

00:28:16.800 George W. Bush,

00:28:17.820 much more charismatic than Al Gore and John Kerry.

00:28:20.480 Bill Clinton,

00:28:21.100 much more charismatic than Bob Dole.

00:28:22.980 Bill Clinton,

00:28:23.560 much more charismatic than George H.W. Bush.

00:28:26.100 Ronald Reagan,

00:28:26.900 much more charismatic than the Democrats,

00:28:30.100 than Mondale,

00:28:31.080 and then Jimmy Carter,

00:28:32.500 and then the entire Republican field both times.

00:28:36.040 On and on and on.

00:28:39.560 It's the way it works, man.

00:28:41.100 People shouldn't be like that.

00:28:42.360 Okay, well,

00:28:43.460 people are.

00:28:44.280 So,

00:28:44.480 if you want to run a popular government

00:28:47.040 of the people,

00:28:47.560 by the people,

00:28:47.920 for the people,

00:28:48.400 you've got to account for the way people work.

00:28:50.460 Speaking of celebrities,

00:28:52.680 Louis C.K.,

00:28:53.700 who I generally like,

00:28:55.080 even though he's completely wrong

00:28:56.120 in what he's about to say.

00:28:57.240 Louis C.K. was just on Joe Rogan,

00:28:59.440 and he made the perfect liberal argument

00:29:03.840 for mass migration and open borders.

00:29:07.660 My feeling is they should open it,

00:29:09.740 the border,

00:29:10.600 and just let them pour in,

00:29:11.460 let everybody pour in,

00:29:12.720 and then the answer,

00:29:14.240 which is,

00:29:14.540 well,

00:29:14.680 then there'll be all these problems.

00:29:16.500 Yes,

00:29:16.860 there should be.

00:29:17.800 It shouldn't be so great here.

00:29:20.060 This is what I'm saying.

00:29:21.100 In America, 0.65

00:29:21.940 it shouldn't be.

00:29:22.540 It's a weird thing

00:29:23.500 to sequester a certain group of people

00:29:25.320 and try to keep upping their lifespan

00:29:27.680 and their lifestyle

00:29:29.900 and just keep trying to increase that

00:29:32.260 for this group of people,

00:29:33.600 and then everyone's,

00:29:34.480 and then this pressure of people

00:29:35.620 trying to come in

00:29:36.240 so they can enjoy it,

00:29:37.760 and then it gets worse and worse down here.

00:29:39.940 I mean,

00:29:40.140 I'm not in Canada.

00:29:41.560 It's really just from down here.

00:29:44.100 There's something wrong with that.

00:29:45.280 That's not a system that's working,

00:29:46.760 and it forces people to do cruel things,

00:29:50.060 to other people.

00:29:50.900 There's a lot of people that die

00:29:52.180 so Americans can be safe.

00:29:54.640 Okay,

00:29:54.960 so pause right here.

00:29:56.800 At first,

00:29:58.460 I wondered,

00:29:59.780 is Louis C.K. being ironic here?

00:30:02.360 He does this in his routine sometimes.

00:30:04.160 He'll come out,

00:30:04.820 he'll do a routine

00:30:05.440 where he'll say,

00:30:07.180 look,

00:30:07.380 abortion,

00:30:07.900 I think women should be able 1.00

00:30:08.620 to have abortions.

00:30:09.440 I think totally.

00:30:10.420 I'm 100% pro-choice.

00:30:12.580 Women should have abortions 1.00

00:30:13.500 because going to have an abortion,

00:30:15.980 it's just a regular procedure.

00:30:17.100 It's just like going

00:30:17.820 and using the bathroom.

00:30:19.480 Or it's murdering a baby,

00:30:20.920 and that's the subversion at the end.

00:30:23.800 He says,

00:30:24.020 no, no,

00:30:24.340 look,

00:30:24.520 I'm with you.

00:30:25.260 I think it was Bill Burr

00:30:26.520 did a similar bit.

00:30:28.060 Maybe it was Chris Rock.

00:30:29.020 I forget.

00:30:29.400 A number of comedians

00:30:30.220 have done this bit.

00:30:31.280 But Louis C.K.,

00:30:32.360 he starts out,

00:30:33.020 he leads you,

00:30:33.340 oh, yeah,

00:30:33.640 it's totally fine.

00:30:34.320 It's normal.

00:30:34.600 It's like having your tonsils taken out.

00:30:36.020 Or it's murdering a baby.

00:30:37.600 Well,

00:30:37.980 it might be,

00:30:38.620 actually,

00:30:39.340 huh,

00:30:39.720 if it's murdering a baby,

00:30:40.360 I guess you probably shouldn't do it.

00:30:41.140 But here,

00:30:41.800 I think he's being totally sincere.

00:30:43.900 He's saying something

00:30:45.960 that liberals will often argue.

00:30:47.620 They'll say,

00:30:48.080 look,

00:30:48.380 we have privilege.

00:30:50.860 It's bad that we have privilege.

00:30:52.260 I feel icky about having privilege.

00:30:54.480 And it's not,

00:30:56.500 why doesn't everyone live like we do?

00:30:59.540 Actually,

00:31:00.080 I bet the reason

00:31:00.700 they don't live like us 0.98

00:31:01.660 is because of who we are.

00:31:03.720 Like,

00:31:03.960 the fact that we have

00:31:04.900 a nice life,

00:31:06.160 that's not just an exception

00:31:08.060 to the rule of human society,

00:31:10.320 it's actually probably

00:31:11.380 the cause of all the misery around.

00:31:12.940 The fact that we have a good life

00:31:14.100 is why

00:31:15.160 so many people

00:31:16.440 are miserable around the world.

00:31:17.560 So to make other people happy,

00:31:18.660 we've got to make ourselves miserable.

00:31:20.140 He goes on.

00:31:21.340 They're just dying,

00:31:23.060 you know,

00:31:23.580 weddings that are

00:31:24.660 drone bombed in Yemen

00:31:26.940 because the guy said something

00:31:28.740 that might have

00:31:30.060 resulted in

00:31:31.260 American

00:31:32.120 insecurity.

00:31:33.600 Not even like

00:31:34.340 definite American deaths,

00:31:35.640 but like

00:31:35.980 just so we can breathe

00:31:37.500 a little easier.

00:31:38.480 Folks die 1.00

00:31:39.360 and folks do labor

00:31:41.460 in unsafe places

00:31:42.980 so that we can

00:31:43.820 keep the prices

00:31:44.820 where we like them.

00:31:45.600 There's so much

00:31:46.360 about American life

00:31:47.600 that other people pay for.

00:31:49.260 That's part of it.

00:31:50.460 But also,

00:31:51.060 it's not good for us either.

00:31:52.180 It's not a good way

00:31:52.900 to live

00:31:53.540 in a gated community,

00:31:55.240 you know?

00:31:55.860 If you let folks

00:31:56.940 pour in

00:31:57.760 like any other wave,

00:31:58.940 it'll kind of slosh

00:32:00.200 and then you'll just,

00:32:01.740 things will be different.

00:32:03.400 I don't know,

00:32:04.360 like,

00:32:04.920 what'll really happen?

00:32:06.100 A bunch of people,

00:32:06.940 like,

00:32:07.060 will they just come

00:32:07.680 with knives

00:32:08.140 and start killing everybody?

00:32:09.740 I don't think so.

00:32:12.500 That's literally

00:32:13.140 what happens.

00:32:13.880 Yes,

00:32:14.200 that's what happens.

00:32:15.800 If you look

00:32:16.460 at the city of London,

00:32:17.460 that's what happens.

00:32:18.180 They let a lot of people in

00:32:19.160 and then the people

00:32:19.800 came in with knives

00:32:20.520 and started stabbing everyone.

00:32:22.960 In America, 0.65

00:32:23.580 we don't use knives.

00:32:25.100 We use guns,

00:32:26.320 but yeah,

00:32:26.700 that's what happened.

00:32:27.420 We let the people in

00:32:28.600 and the people

00:32:29.500 are the cartels

00:32:30.240 and they started

00:32:30.780 killing everyone.

00:32:32.200 That's exactly

00:32:33.240 what happens.

00:32:34.000 Do you not have eyes,

00:32:37.020 Louis C.K.?

00:32:37.880 He's a pretty good

00:32:38.980 observational comic.

00:32:39.940 I'm surprised that he,

00:32:41.180 but he's a liberal too

00:32:42.060 and a liberal

00:32:42.680 is one

00:32:43.920 who cannot take

00:32:45.400 his own side

00:32:46.060 in an argument.

00:32:47.820 And so he's saying,

00:32:48.840 no,

00:32:49.000 we should be worse off.

00:32:50.620 I hate that we're happy.

00:32:53.060 I,

00:32:53.320 oh,

00:32:53.600 I don't like that,

00:32:54.400 that we're doing well.

00:32:55.880 It's not,

00:32:56.500 living in a gated community

00:32:57.660 isn't really nice.

00:32:58.700 What are you talking about?

00:33:02.520 I've never lived

00:33:03.440 in a gated community.

00:33:05.440 I've known some people

00:33:06.480 who have though.

00:33:07.440 I've been to gated communities.

00:33:09.620 Seems pretty nice

00:33:10.760 because the criminals

00:33:11.940 can't get in

00:33:12.720 and it's,

00:33:14.040 it's manicured

00:33:15.800 and you have more control

00:33:17.220 over your surroundings

00:33:18.380 and you can,

00:33:19.820 you're less susceptible

00:33:20.940 to outside forces

00:33:22.360 of vandalism

00:33:23.880 and burglary

00:33:25.200 and look at,

00:33:26.300 would you rather live

00:33:26.900 in a gated community

00:33:27.840 or in downtown Chicago?

00:33:29.920 Downtown Chicago,

00:33:31.180 you can't even go

00:33:31.820 to the grocery store anymore

00:33:32.880 because the vandals

00:33:34.140 and the shoplifters

00:33:34.940 and the petty criminals

00:33:35.900 steal all the stuff

00:33:37.240 so the grocery stores

00:33:38.700 can't make a profit.

00:33:40.320 And so they,

00:33:40.680 so you can't get groceries

00:33:41.840 in the non-gated communities,

00:33:44.760 but the gated communities

00:33:48.880 are the bad places.

00:33:49.640 You don't really want

00:33:50.160 to live there.

00:33:51.040 Come on,

00:33:51.760 you know,

00:33:52.020 I mean,

00:33:52.300 it's just so awful.

00:33:53.720 Sometimes we send drones

00:33:54.940 to kill people. 0.70

00:33:57.140 What,

00:33:57.900 just because your father

00:33:59.260 is a terrorist?

00:34:00.280 Okay,

00:34:00.640 just because your father said,

00:34:02.140 like,

00:34:02.360 I'm going to go blow up

00:34:03.360 Americans or something, 0.96

00:34:05.040 then what,

00:34:05.660 you've got to have a bomb

00:34:06.640 hit you?

00:34:09.940 Yeah.

00:34:10.620 What's the alternative, bro?

00:34:11.800 The alternative is

00:34:12.940 you allow the possibility

00:34:15.400 that the terrorist

00:34:16.140 comes and blows you up. 0.62

00:34:17.100 And the liberals

00:34:17.800 are basically open to that.

00:34:21.080 The liberals would say,

00:34:21.900 well,

00:34:22.320 they haven't blown us up yet.

00:34:23.860 First of all,

00:34:24.320 yes,

00:34:24.560 they did.

00:34:24.960 They attacked us.

00:34:25.540 They've attacked us

00:34:26.100 multiple times.

00:34:28.100 But even if they hadn't,

00:34:29.400 you know,

00:34:29.760 I think we have the right

00:34:30.720 to protect ourselves.

00:34:32.040 I think we have the right

00:34:32.680 to seek our own interest

00:34:33.820 in accordance with justice

00:34:36.200 and virtue.

00:34:36.820 But we have the right

00:34:38.300 to pursue our own interest.

00:34:39.520 If we don't,

00:34:41.040 who will?

00:34:41.580 Everyone else on earth

00:34:42.380 is pursuing their interest,

00:34:43.580 sometimes not in accord

00:34:44.700 with justice and virtue.

00:34:46.680 If we won't pursue our interest,

00:34:48.560 who will?

00:34:50.180 The liberals won't help us

00:34:51.360 with that.

00:34:52.340 The liberals,

00:34:52.800 by definition,

00:34:53.300 are people who will not pursue

00:34:54.540 their own interest,

00:34:55.280 wittingly or unwittingly.

00:34:57.240 Speaking of taking sides,

00:34:59.040 I've spoken about

00:35:00.020 the American transvestite,

00:35:03.420 Michael Cirillo,

00:35:04.380 who is now serving,

00:35:06.260 was serving as the spokesman

00:35:08.680 for the Ukraine military

00:35:09.980 under the pseudonym

00:35:11.120 Sarah Cirillo.

00:35:13.060 He has just been suspended

00:35:14.740 from duty in Ukraine

00:35:18.040 because he threatened

00:35:20.180 to murder Americans 0.98

00:35:21.680 who are critical

00:35:22.660 of the endless funding

00:35:25.140 for Ukraine.

00:35:26.740 How did this happen?

00:35:28.740 I'm not going to say

00:35:29.800 that I did this personally.

00:35:31.620 I wish I could take credit for it.

00:35:33.320 I think I can take

00:35:33.900 a little bit of credit for it

00:35:35.020 because I published

00:35:36.040 the first big Twitter thread

00:35:37.600 on who this guy is.

00:35:39.740 So I'll take a little tiny bit of it.

00:35:41.380 But the credit really goes

00:35:42.680 to Senator J.D. Vance

00:35:44.360 who said,

00:35:45.040 hey, I've seen reports

00:35:45.720 on this guy

00:35:46.760 and it's hard to even believe

00:35:47.760 he's really the spokesman

00:35:49.060 for the Ukraine military.

00:35:50.540 But anyway,

00:35:51.000 he's threatening to kill

00:35:51.700 American journalists.

00:35:52.880 So could we not?

00:35:54.460 Could you guys clarify this?

00:35:56.180 And the Ukraine government said,

00:35:58.520 okay, we're going to suspend him.

00:35:59.620 We're going to have

00:36:00.000 an investigation.

00:36:01.780 They suspend him in Ukraine.

00:36:03.040 Here's what they do

00:36:03.680 for this guy in America.

00:36:05.040 They give him awards.

00:36:06.900 A local reporter

00:36:07.860 working on the front lines

00:36:09.100 in Ukraine

00:36:09.580 is gaining national attention,

00:36:11.700 also getting some recognition

00:36:13.000 from officials

00:36:13.860 in Las Vegas as well.

00:36:15.240 Sarah Ashton Cirillo

00:36:16.520 was honored

00:36:17.100 for her work

00:36:17.920 in Ukraine today

00:36:18.740 at Las Vegas City Hall.

00:36:20.660 She served

00:36:21.160 as a war correspondent

00:36:22.200 since March

00:36:22.960 and recently

00:36:23.540 she enlisted

00:36:24.160 as a combat medic

00:36:25.500 serving on the front lines

00:36:27.220 with other soldiers.

00:36:28.560 She originally went to Ukraine

00:36:29.700 to write about

00:36:30.240 the refugee crisis.

00:36:31.880 Numerous lawmakers,

00:36:32.760 including Governor Sisolak,

00:36:34.000 Congresswoman Dina Titus

00:36:35.280 and Senator Catherine

00:36:36.960 Cortez Masto

00:36:37.880 gave her certificates

00:36:39.300 of recognition

00:36:40.360 for her work overseas.

00:36:42.160 The reasons

00:36:44.060 I'm fighting along

00:36:45.820 with every other soldier

00:36:46.640 are the reasons

00:36:48.140 that the people

00:36:48.780 in the United States

00:36:49.580 and elsewhere

00:36:50.140 can enjoy the lives

00:36:51.440 they have here.

00:36:52.880 And this week

00:36:53.680 she also met

00:36:54.200 with members of Congress

00:36:55.120 and was even asked

00:36:56.540 to give one of her

00:36:57.540 military uniforms

00:36:58.720 to the Smithsonian Institute

00:37:00.460 in Washington, D.C.

00:37:01.800 This is Smithsonian

00:37:06.680 once this guy's

00:37:07.800 Ukraine military fatigues.

00:37:11.320 Which tells you

00:37:12.280 that Ukraine 0.91

00:37:12.860 with all its corruption,

00:37:15.620 with all of its oligarchy,

00:37:18.340 with all of its war,

00:37:20.740 martial law,

00:37:22.300 is still much more normal

00:37:25.240 than America.

00:37:27.140 Because in Ukraine, 0.93

00:37:29.160 even if they hire

00:37:31.760 this guy

00:37:32.500 to be their spokesman

00:37:33.800 for a little bit,

00:37:34.540 they think it's going

00:37:35.040 to help suck up 1.00

00:37:35.620 to the liberal West.

00:37:37.280 Eventually,

00:37:38.040 when the guy starts

00:37:39.300 threatening to murder

00:37:40.580 journalists

00:37:41.600 who are to the right

00:37:42.960 of Hillary Clinton,

00:37:44.840 eventually they say,

00:37:45.600 okay, you're suspended,

00:37:46.460 you're out of here.

00:37:47.660 In America, 0.65

00:37:48.340 what do we do?

00:37:49.020 We give those people awards

00:37:50.500 and we say,

00:37:51.260 hey, sir,

00:37:52.680 can you please put your dress

00:37:53.720 in the Smithsonian?

00:37:54.940 We want to preserve

00:37:56.320 this wonderful relic

00:37:58.880 from American history.

00:38:00.920 And I've told you

00:38:01.380 time and time again

00:38:02.160 how much I hate to say it.

00:38:05.260 It pains me.

00:38:07.440 It causes me

00:38:09.520 to stay up at night

00:38:10.520 or it would cause me

00:38:11.260 to stay up at night

00:38:11.840 if I didn't have

00:38:12.320 a Helix mattress.

00:38:13.500 But I've got to say it

00:38:15.660 lest you tell me

00:38:18.000 that I didn't tell you so.

00:38:20.520 Yes or no,

00:38:21.000 the game has sold out

00:38:21.860 at dailywire.com

00:38:22.840 slash shop.

00:38:47.700 change of season,

00:38:48.960 if you are even mildly familiar

00:38:50.820 with this show,

00:38:51.360 you probably are aware

00:38:52.100 of my autumnal affinity

00:38:53.200 for a certain seasonal beverage.

00:38:54.500 You know I'm an aficionado

00:38:55.600 of the PSLs,

00:38:56.900 the pumpkin spice lattes.

00:38:58.420 I am a very petite

00:39:01.060 teenage white girl

00:39:02.160 trapped inside the body

00:39:03.460 of a swarthy adult 0.61

00:39:05.020 Italian-American male.

00:39:06.900 Well,

00:39:21.880 My favorite comment yesterday

00:39:23.040 is from Rhythm Steve

00:39:24.100 who says,

00:39:25.860 three minutes in

00:39:26.980 and Michael brings up

00:39:28.200 the Roman Empire

00:39:29.220 meme confirmed.

00:39:31.060 Itavero.

00:39:32.000 Itavero.

00:39:33.260 Deus vult.

00:39:35.260 Speaking of weird

00:39:36.520 transvestite stuff,

00:39:38.180 am I going to be able

00:39:39.540 to keep any of this show

00:39:40.620 on social media today?

00:39:42.620 I don't know.

00:39:42.960 It's going to be a fun day

00:39:43.540 for the editors over there

00:39:44.420 to deal with

00:39:45.380 a certain video

00:39:46.780 social media platforms

00:39:47.860 restrictions.

00:39:48.860 That's why you got to

00:39:49.320 go to dailywire.com

00:39:50.820 and subscribe.

00:39:51.840 You get the whole show

00:39:52.480 totally uncensored

00:39:53.260 and you go to Twitter,

00:39:55.020 now known as X,

00:39:56.340 to M. Knowles Show.

00:39:57.560 You get the whole show

00:39:58.060 uncensored too.

00:39:59.360 At some high school,

00:40:01.480 this is Northman

00:40:03.200 OP High School,

00:40:05.340 the homecoming queen

00:40:07.560 is a fellow,

00:40:09.180 a fellow with the first name

00:40:10.260 Tristan.

00:40:10.820 This is a school

00:40:11.680 in Kansas City

00:40:12.860 and they post pictures

00:40:14.640 and I'm not going to say

00:40:15.860 his last name

00:40:16.680 and I generally feel

00:40:18.260 bad for this kid

00:40:19.640 even if he's 17,

00:40:21.440 18

00:40:21.640 because he's been suckered

00:40:23.840 into all sorts of

00:40:25.480 bad things

00:40:27.520 by irresponsible

00:40:28.560 adults in his life

00:40:29.860 and a culture

00:40:30.720 that's extremely perverse

00:40:31.940 and contrary

00:40:32.440 to human flourishing.

00:40:33.320 So anyway,

00:40:34.120 this fella

00:40:34.580 has been named

00:40:35.720 the homecoming queen.

00:40:37.200 I'm sure that many

00:40:38.420 women are upset 0.77

00:40:39.960 about this

00:40:40.360 at this high school.

00:40:41.720 Girls who thought 0.94

00:40:43.320 they might be

00:40:43.720 the homecoming queen

00:40:44.520 and just generally people

00:40:46.520 who have a view

00:40:48.760 of human nature

00:40:49.300 that is in accord

00:40:49.940 with reality.

00:40:50.880 It's very sad.

00:40:51.640 It's sad for everybody

00:40:52.280 because it's scandalous

00:40:53.420 to people who might be

00:40:54.320 confused about their sex.

00:40:55.640 It leads more people

00:40:56.860 into a life

00:40:57.840 of misery

00:40:59.640 for pretty much

00:41:00.600 every person

00:41:01.440 who falls into it

00:41:02.180 and it's just bad

00:41:04.040 for society generally.

00:41:05.880 How does this happen?

00:41:07.080 It didn't happen overnight.

00:41:08.400 I remember

00:41:08.820 when I was in college

00:41:09.760 there was a competition.

00:41:12.580 You know I went

00:41:13.000 to a very liberal college.

00:41:13.900 There was a competition

00:41:14.820 called Mr. Yale

00:41:15.880 and Mr. Yale

00:41:17.800 was a traditional competition

00:41:20.100 where each of the dorms

00:41:22.500 would pick a nominee

00:41:24.620 and then the nominee

00:41:25.980 would go and compete

00:41:27.420 to who's Mr. Yale

00:41:28.460 whatever that means.

00:41:30.200 And so our dorm

00:41:31.620 our residential college

00:41:32.720 nominated one year

00:41:34.760 a girl.

00:41:35.720 She was a very nice girl.

00:41:37.540 They nominated a girl

00:41:38.400 and I said well

00:41:39.060 isn't that

00:41:40.340 that's kind of weird right

00:41:41.360 because it's Mr. Yale

00:41:42.760 so you nominated a girl

00:41:43.920 that's a little weird.

00:41:44.980 I said well why not?

00:41:46.420 Why shouldn't we

00:41:47.260 nominate a girl? 0.96

00:41:49.440 And I being right wing

00:41:51.360 but still I was a little

00:41:52.140 more libertarian

00:41:52.860 at the time

00:41:53.540 I thought okay

00:41:54.040 this is stupid

00:41:54.640 and bizarre

00:41:55.100 but alright whatever

00:41:56.880 that's our culture

00:41:58.580 I guess men and women

00:41:59.380 are the same

00:41:59.960 so a woman 0.97

00:42:00.900 can be Mr. Yale.

00:42:01.580 that was at least

00:42:02.440 their argument

00:42:03.120 their argument was

00:42:05.060 men and women

00:42:06.300 are totally different

00:42:07.440 and indistinguishable

00:42:08.360 so anything that is

00:42:09.760 separated by sex

00:42:10.880 is just outdated

00:42:12.800 totally silly

00:42:15.500 anachronistic

00:42:16.380 and if we're even

00:42:18.020 going to indulge

00:42:18.720 these titles anymore

00:42:19.520 we certainly

00:42:20.540 shouldn't preserve

00:42:21.460 the substance

00:42:22.060 of what the title means

00:42:23.080 we shouldn't preserve

00:42:24.040 any distinction

00:42:24.640 between the sexes.

00:42:25.720 It was at the same time

00:42:26.620 that the dorms

00:42:27.620 were going gender neutral

00:42:28.560 so men and women

00:42:29.120 were living together

00:42:29.900 it was this time

00:42:30.920 that now

00:42:32.680 afterward you see

00:42:33.720 gender neutral bathrooms 0.91

00:42:34.760 where does that come from?

00:42:36.820 That comes from feminism 1.00

00:42:37.920 I mean that comes from

00:42:39.180 half a century

00:42:41.120 or more

00:42:41.900 of people telling you

00:42:43.980 that men and women

00:42:45.040 are exactly the same

00:42:46.020 getting back to my point

00:42:47.800 earlier on

00:42:48.500 celebrity

00:42:49.600 you know

00:42:49.880 have you ever met people

00:42:50.780 if you've ever spent

00:42:52.000 any time with people

00:42:53.080 you know that men and women

00:42:55.380 are different

00:42:55.740 if you've ever spent

00:42:56.860 any amount of time

00:42:57.740 with a member

00:42:58.500 of the opposite sex 1.00

00:42:59.400 you know that men and women

00:43:01.440 are just different

00:43:03.540 in fairly significant ways

00:43:06.740 but if all you know

00:43:08.980 is the brainwashing

00:43:10.100 that you've received

00:43:10.820 K through 12

00:43:11.820 pre-K through 12

00:43:12.920 through college

00:43:13.880 through your DEI

00:43:15.800 workforce training

00:43:16.840 you are told

00:43:18.180 that men and women

00:43:19.180 are exactly the same

00:43:20.160 and if men and women

00:43:21.060 are exactly the same

00:43:22.020 then a gal 0.94

00:43:24.500 should be allowed

00:43:25.380 to be Mr. Yale

00:43:26.200 that was going on

00:43:26.800 10 years ago

00:43:27.540 and if men and women

00:43:29.700 are basically the same

00:43:30.580 then there's no reason

00:43:32.780 that that fellow

00:43:33.520 shouldn't be

00:43:34.780 homecoming queen

00:43:35.820 I mean he

00:43:37.040 he at least

00:43:37.840 had the

00:43:38.840 commitment

00:43:40.200 to wear a dress

00:43:41.460 and hair

00:43:42.160 and make himself

00:43:42.700 try to look like a woman 1.00

00:43:43.600 but if feminism 0.98

00:43:45.180 is right

00:43:45.880 you shouldn't even

00:43:46.860 really need to do that

00:43:47.740 because Mr.

00:43:48.900 Miss

00:43:49.200 Mrs.

00:43:50.700 Queen

00:43:51.200 King

00:43:51.660 there's no distinction

00:43:52.580 at all

00:43:52.940 we're all just

00:43:53.500 undifferentiated blobs 1.00

00:43:55.140 of human mass

00:43:56.200 okay

00:43:57.520 speaking of

00:43:58.480 ordinary people

00:43:59.280 becoming briefly famous

00:44:00.420 remember that F-35

00:44:02.860 that our military

00:44:03.780 just lost

00:44:04.380 it was a few days ago

00:44:05.840 the military

00:44:06.460 just misplaced

00:44:07.180 an F-35 airplane

00:44:08.700 which is hard to lose

00:44:10.120 you know

00:44:10.380 I lose my car keys

00:44:11.300 sometimes my cigar cutter

00:44:12.580 but they lost the airplane

00:44:13.900 and

00:44:14.560 now local news

00:44:16.860 has interviewed

00:44:17.580 someone

00:44:18.340 who

00:44:19.500 first noticed

00:44:21.260 the plane coming down

00:44:22.360 Randolph White

00:44:23.760 retired from his job

00:44:24.840 at the paper mill

00:44:25.540 in Georgetown

00:44:26.100 10 years ago

00:44:27.140 he lives in this house

00:44:28.380 with his wife

00:44:28.980 in a very rural area

00:44:30.240 of Williamsburg County

00:44:31.320 he loves living

00:44:32.360 about 2 miles away

00:44:33.480 from where he grew up

00:44:34.460 normally it's pretty quiet

00:44:36.060 but on Sunday afternoon

00:44:37.420 I was in the

00:44:38.560 in the bathroom

00:44:40.300 taking a shave

00:44:41.080 and I heard

00:44:42.540 a screeching 0.76

00:44:43.620 between a screech

00:44:45.860 and a whistle 0.77

00:44:46.420 I said

00:44:50.040 what in the world

00:44:50.780 is this

00:44:51.260 and I heard a boom

00:44:52.740 in my whole house

00:44:54.420 White says

00:44:55.520 he didn't realize

00:44:56.140 it was a plane

00:44:56.720 at the time

00:44:57.220 so he didn't call anybody

00:44:58.300 I love America

00:45:00.760 I love America

00:45:01.560 I love the American people

00:45:03.160 every time

00:45:04.360 I lose faith in America

00:45:05.680 it is because

00:45:07.120 of the elite

00:45:09.140 degraded

00:45:11.240 decadent

00:45:11.960 perverse

00:45:12.800 moral idiots

00:45:14.940 who run our country

00:45:15.880 and every time

00:45:16.760 I have a little faith

00:45:17.560 back in America 0.97

00:45:18.300 it's because of that guy

00:45:19.540 because of ordinary

00:45:21.540 that guy lives in the middle

00:45:22.460 of nowhere

00:45:22.940 he heard this airplane

00:45:25.440 come down

00:45:25.880 didn't even realize

00:45:26.440 I don't know what that was

00:45:27.400 and oh here's what it's like

00:45:28.260 by the way

00:45:28.500 and he's just explaining it

00:45:30.920 in great detail

00:45:32.220 totally

00:45:33.580 without any

00:45:34.980 sense of

00:45:37.340 facade

00:45:38.540 or any kind of

00:45:40.300 he just

00:45:40.700 he just calls it

00:45:42.160 like he sees it

00:45:42.860 eager to do it

00:45:44.060 forthright

00:45:44.660 totally without any

00:45:46.580 sense of shame

00:45:47.220 or anything like that

00:45:48.040 I really love it

00:45:50.020 when people on the right

00:45:51.920 today

00:45:52.400 lament the rise

00:45:53.680 of populism

00:45:54.480 you know

00:45:55.080 it's all the fancy

00:45:55.760 republicans

00:45:56.520 who live in

00:45:56.880 Washington DC

00:45:57.560 and they write

00:45:58.480 for all of the

00:45:59.260 establishment

00:46:00.000 squishy papers

00:46:00.760 and they say

00:46:01.920 you know

00:46:02.300 this populism

00:46:03.100 is terrible

00:46:03.780 we need to be

00:46:04.860 true conservatives

00:46:06.140 we need to be

00:46:07.340 in the mold

00:46:07.780 of William F. Buckley Jr

00:46:09.100 and we need to

00:46:10.320 wear fancy ties

00:46:11.560 and go to

00:46:12.960 very fun

00:46:13.640 fancy cocktail

00:46:14.680 parties

00:46:15.160 that is who

00:46:16.020 should be

00:46:16.360 leading

00:46:16.720 conservatism

00:46:17.880 I would remind

00:46:20.160 them of a line

00:46:20.680 from William F. Buckley Jr

00:46:21.740 the supposed

00:46:23.560 enemy of populism

00:46:24.880 William F. Buckley Jr

00:46:26.160 who said he would

00:46:26.960 rather be governed

00:46:28.000 by the first

00:46:28.760 2,000 people

00:46:29.520 in the Boston

00:46:30.100 phone book

00:46:30.680 than by the faculty

00:46:31.700 of Harvard College

00:46:32.560 because

00:46:33.960 that guy

00:46:34.860 who lives in the

00:46:35.320 middle of nowhere

00:46:35.920 who seems a little

00:46:36.660 oblivious about some
