As the war in the Middle East enters its third week, AOC is already demanding that America take on the lion s share of the burden to absorb what could be a million if not more Palestinian refugees from Gaza. And why would liberals want to bring these refugees to our awful, oppressive, Islamophobic country?
00:01:08.420Maybe, perhaps, we could consider taking in the relatively small number of Christians living in the Palestinian territories.
00:01:15.800Not because we hate Muslims or anything like that, but because there are lots of Arab states around the Holy Land that could take the Muslims in.
00:05:11.800But the culture just pulls him back in.
00:05:15.320Just when he thinks he's out, it pulls him back in.
00:05:17.960The pull of culture, the pull of one's tribal identity from the family all the way up to the nation and the people is very, very strong.
00:05:29.100And what multiculturalism and liberalism has told us for the past many decades now, five or six decades, is that peoples are all basically the same.
00:05:36.140So you can transplant a guy from Timbuktu into America, and within five minutes, he's going to be eating hot dogs on the 4th of July and eating apple pie and indistinguishable from somebody whose family came over 400 years ago.
00:05:52.080And that's something we need to keep in mind when AOC is suggesting that we need to import a million people, the majority of whom elected Hamas in 2006.
00:06:11.100The G20, or Group of 20, is an international forum for governments and central bank governors.
00:06:15.840It was established in response to the financial crises of the late 1990s with the aim of promoting international financial stability.
00:06:22.520Last month, the G20 announced a plan to impose digital currencies and digital IDs on their respective populations.
00:06:28.680Central bank digital currencies essentially allow the government to track every purchase you make.

00:07:18.420Speaking of Palestine and assimilation, there's a photo that went viral.
00:07:22.640I think Libs of TikTok, our great friends over there, posted it.
00:07:25.240It's of a guy, a sort of vaguely brown-looking fellow with a keffia around his neck, not on his head, but around his neck, holding up a sign that's one of the versions of the gay flag.
00:13:32.020In the case of the Reamer brothers, this awful case was based on the perverted scientific inquiry of a guy named John Money,
00:13:41.680who I talk about in my book, Speechless Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, which is available now, as it has been, thank you, for a couple of years.
00:13:48.340But it was an experiment on human beings, on real poor little kids, to determine whether sex and gender are deep and actually part of our nature.
00:13:59.940Or if they're essentially socially constructed such that a clever doctor and some dishonest parents could just change it willy-nilly.
00:14:08.600And what we learned from the Reamer twins, Reamer-Reimer, I forget how it's pronounced, and what we're learning from Sophie Ottaway here, is that sex and gender go deeper than genitals.
00:14:19.920And that's what the trans activists say.
00:14:21.980The trans activists say, gender is about so much more than just my genitals.
00:14:59.920Now, I've long resisted the conservative response to transgenderism, which says that the way we know what a man is and the way we know what a woman is, is just chromosomes or just genitals or something like that.
00:16:18.060So much of modern conservative activism, I think, the success of modern conservative activism is going to boil down to persuading people to trust the things that they instinctively know are true rather than believing some cockamamie mumbo-jumbo from some quack sitting in an ivory tower somewhere who tell you that actually boys can be girls.
00:17:04.220James Comer, who's running the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, has revealed bank records that show a $200,000 direct payment from James and Sarah Biden, Joe's brother and sister-in-law, to Joe Biden.
00:17:18.940In 2018, James Biden got $600,000 in loans from AmeriCorps.
00:17:24.860AmeriCorps was a financially distressed and failing rural hospital operator.
00:17:32.360Bankruptcy court says that James Biden received these loans, quote, based upon representations that his last name, Biden, could, quote, open doors and that he could obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections, which was probably true.
00:17:46.620So James Biden gets the $600,000 loan.
00:17:50.780On March 1st, 2018, AmeriCorps wired a $200,000 loan into James and Sarah Biden's personal bank account, not their business bank account.
00:18:03.300So you got $600,000 is the big number.
00:18:07.960$200,000 goes directly to the personal bank account of the brother of the now president of the United States.
00:18:13.320And on that same day, James Biden writes a $200,000 check from that same personal bank account to Joe Biden.
00:18:23.520What more evidence could we possibly have that Joe is taking bribes?
00:18:36.720In a way, I'm kind of surprised that Joe was this sloppy.
00:18:41.720I figured that as a crook, he would have at least hid the money a little bit better, one or two more shell companies before it going basically just straight into his brother's personal bank account, straight from that.
00:18:52.760Not even from a different bank account, from that bank account to Joe.
00:18:58.560I mean, we had all the evidence we needed when we got the Hunter Biden laptop, where Hunter Biden is saying, yeah, we're giving 10% to the big guy.
00:19:04.320Sometimes I got to give half my salary to my dad.
00:19:06.420I'm not going to do that to you, though, kids.
00:19:08.920Yeah, I'm the bag man for the Biden family is essentially what he was saying.
00:19:47.820It's supposed to be government by good people, small group of good people, but governing for the common good.
00:19:52.860The bad side of aristocracy is oligarchy.
00:19:55.700What distinguishes the good from the bad version of all of these regimes?
00:20:00.880What distinguishes it is whether you are governing for the common good or for your self-interest.
00:20:08.020That's the classical distinction going all the way back to the ancient Greeks, going back to Polybius.
00:20:12.100In modern political philosophy, people make less of this distinction.
00:20:19.880Thomas Hobbes famously said that that distinction is basically bunk, and we just view our own regimes as good and other people's regimes as bad.
00:20:27.620But I think the distinction is pretty real.
00:20:30.240There have been good monarchs throughout history, and there have been tyrants throughout history.
00:20:32.840There have been good democracies throughout history, and then there have been states run by mob rule.
00:20:37.860The problem here is the American democracy, such as it is, has already decayed so significantly that people are ruling openly for self-interest.
00:20:49.160And so this $200,000 check is not going to bother the Democrats because the Democrats are going to say, well, at least he's our guy.
00:20:59.920He's going to give me handouts, he's going to punish my enemies, he's going to let me and my friends off the hook for committing the same or worse crimes as the conservatives and the Republicans.
00:21:08.640So, yeah, he's governing out of self-interest, but he's our guy, and we're governing out of self-interest too.
00:21:13.720This is the line of, I think it was H.L. Mencken, who said, democracy is the theory that the people know what they want, and they deserve to get it good and hard.

00:21:46.400Now, think about this. We have a 100% volunteer military, men and women who raise their hands to sacrifice for this country, and when they're done serving, they come back to a tight job market and an outrageous cost of living expenses.
00:22:00.020That is why I am so happy a private company like Pure Talk has jumped in to help.

00:22:25.620Let's rally together and show our unwavering support for our veterans.
00:22:28.860That is puretalk.com slash Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S.
00:22:32.580It is the right move, and it is the American way.
00:22:37.460Speaking of national leadership, sorry to report, Jim Jordan is out of the race for Speaker of the House.
00:22:45.040In a way, I'm happy to report this because I like Jim Jordan, and I think Jim Jordan is a good guy, and I wouldn't want to wish the worst job in Washington, D.C. on him.
00:22:53.380But he would have been a good speaker.
00:22:55.340Would have been great for conservatives.
00:23:05.700We put out a notice on our ex telling the American people and my colleagues that I've thrown my hat in the ring to run for Speaker of the House.
00:23:19.160But it requires us to be unified, number one, go back to business and secure our border, actually fund this government responsibly, and then continue to lay out that conservative vision for the people who sent us here.
00:27:29.760He said, we need federal tax dollars to, quote, rebuild black infrastructure, like banks and businesses.
00:27:34.180He supports, quote, direct redress payments or tax credits to black people by virtue of being black.
00:27:41.560He says, communities that were specifically targeted for destruction need to be specifically targeted for repair.
00:27:46.880During Jim Crow, black banks, businesses, hospitals, schools, and farms were targeted for destruction.
00:27:51.620Racists knew that without these, the black community had no chance of building wealth.
00:27:55.860We must set aside federal dollars to rebuild black infrastructure.
00:27:58.800These programs complement direct redress payments or tax credits to the descendants of the victims of Jim Crow and other victims of persecution.
00:28:06.080RFK Jr. will find ways to offer this redress that are legal, fair, and win the approval of Americans of all races.
00:28:54.020And he happens to be with us on COVID vaccines.
00:28:59.480To RFK's point, the actual point he's arguing here, he says that black people were treated unfairly, so we need to give them money in different forms.
00:29:06.840Of course, that was the point of the expansion of the welfare state in the 60s.
00:29:10.920That was the point of the Great Society.
00:29:12.780That was the point of the laws that followed the Civil Rights Act.
00:29:15.280It was about transferring wealth and investing in black infrastructure and giving handouts and tax credits and different sorts of things specifically to black people.
00:29:23.340And it didn't really improve things at all.
00:29:26.560So when you hear about a Kennedy Democrat, this is exactly what we're talking about.
00:29:31.880The Kennedy Democrats have not changed one iota since the 1960s.
00:29:35.160The problem is those policies from the 1960s didn't help anything.
00:29:40.760And in many ways, they hurt the country and the position of black people.
00:29:47.340But the other reason I love this story is we've been told that from all the geniuses, even on the right, they say, oh, if RFK Jr. runs, he's going to take votes from Trump.
00:29:57.960And the reason that people have said that is because Trump, he's a kooky populist.
00:30:05.780And the kooky populists are going to take votes from one another.
00:30:08.940The people who have the opinion that RFK Jr. was going to take more votes from Trump than from Biden are the kind of people who really don't like Trump.
00:30:17.520And they write off Trump as some eccentric, populist, unmoored man who has no principles whatsoever, who just appeals to the basest, appetitive elements in society.
00:30:29.920I like some of the other Republicans, too, but I also like Donald Trump.
00:30:33.000And I have long thought that Donald Trump appeals to a basically coherent, in fact, rather traditional kind of American conservatism.
00:30:43.560And there's a coherence to his political program, even if he sometimes says things that are somewhat contradictory or eccentric.
00:30:50.700And therefore, if a liberal comes around, he's not going to be able to pull the wool over the eyes of Trump voters.
00:30:56.760That Trump voters are not as gullible and deplorable and irredeemable and whatever else the establishment tells us as the establishment might have us believe.
00:31:31.260Speaking of the Republican primary, Ron DeSantis looking really, really good over the weekend as he evacuates, him himself, evacuates more Americans from the Holy Land as war breaks out.
00:31:41.580Happy to report we had another flight bringing Floridians back from Israel land in the wee hours of the morning.
00:31:47.760We've been able to help hundreds of people get back from the war zone safely to the United States, to the state of Florida.
00:31:55.420We've also put a lot of supplies that have been donated over to Israel, and I know they're really appreciative of it.
00:32:01.680And we've got another flight coming, most likely tomorrow morning.
00:32:05.300So federal government dragged its feet.
00:32:07.400A lot of those folks didn't have any options.
00:32:09.640We stepped up, showed the leadership, and are delivering results.
00:32:13.220This is the best thing DeSantis can do for his campaign, because it's also the thing that's going to give him a path if this primary doesn't go his way.
00:32:25.520Ron DeSantis is never going to beat Donald Trump at the charisma game.
00:33:38.760I'm not just selling out my second term as Florida governor to run for president.
00:33:42.880I'm still getting stuff done, which he's doing.
00:33:44.620And if the primary doesn't go his way, he won't have completely blown his career on one failed bid for president.
00:33:54.820He'll still be able to point to momentum and achievements.
00:33:58.440He can make the most of his time in the office that he's sitting in, especially as the presidential election does not appear to be going his way.
00:34:05.580Speaking of evacuating the Holy Land, some good news.
00:34:09.360Two American hostages have been released by Hamas.
00:34:13.400These are a mother and a daughter, dual citizens of Israel and the United States.
00:35:52.920During the four years of the Trump administration, that is the only time in the last 22 years that Vladimir Putin didn't invade a new country or didn't go further into a country he'd already invaded.
00:36:06.700It's the only time in those years that we didn't have new wars breaking out in the Middle East.
00:36:11.000You actually had peace agreements being signed in the Middle East.
