The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1358 - Trans Netflix Writer Creates Disturbing Ad For Sperm Donor

00:00:00.000 We have a speaker, Abemus Prolocutor. After three weeks of Republicans scrambling to find someone

00:00:08.040 to fill the top spot in the House of Representatives, white smoke has emerged from the top of the

00:00:12.700 Capitol building, and Republicans have elected rock-ribbed conservative Mike Johnson. I mean

00:00:19.660 that sincerely. Ordinarily, I would say that as a joke whenever Republicans elect a leader, but

00:00:23.900 actually, they picked a conservative guy. Johnson has a lifetime rating of 92% from the American

00:00:30.280 Conservative Union and a 90% rating from Heritage Action. Quite good. He's got an A-plus rating from

00:00:37.000 Susan B. Anthony, Pro-Life America. He authored legislation last year to outlaw the Lib's weird 0.91

00:00:42.940 sexual indoctrination of kids. And unlike the previous GOP nominee for speaker, he voted to

00:00:48.680 defend the real definition of marriage. As late as last December, when Joe Biden, the Democrats,

00:00:54.620 and the squish Republicans tried, successfully, I'm sorry to say, to codify the Obergefell same-sex 0.60

00:01:00.020 marriage decision into law. Many people had never heard of Congressman Johnson before yesterday.

00:01:07.120 The only reason I was aware of him is because of a handful of viral clips that I had seen of him

00:01:12.180 hurling zingers at Democrats. Here is Speaker Johnson dressing down Joe Biden's Homeland Security

00:01:18.520 Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

00:01:21.080 I've only got 25 seconds. I'll just say I don't have time for a question because you'll be elusive.

00:01:25.460 But I just, for the record, since we're stating things for the record, I've been in Congress seven

00:01:29.740 years. I think you're the most dishonest witness that has ever appeared before the Judiciary Committee.

00:01:34.040 And I think I speak for a lot of my colleagues. This is such a frustrating exercise for us because

00:01:38.380 our constituents want answers. They're tired of the open border. They're tired of people dying from

00:01:42.340 federal overdoses. And it's your fault. It's my time.

00:01:45.040 Mr. Chairman, point of order.

00:01:46.200 No, there's no point of order in the middle of this. This is my opinion. I think it's shared

00:01:49.600 by millions of American people.

00:01:50.820 There is a point of order based on the standard that the chairman set out in previous hearings.

00:01:57.240 Calling a witness dishonest is over the line that you drew at a previous hearing.

00:02:02.700 I'm not pulling the words down. That speaks for the American people.

00:02:06.180 Zinged, owned, and now Speaker Johnson is not just about those pithy one-liners.

00:02:13.260 Some of his other viral clips demonstrate that the guy is clearly intelligent, he clearly

00:02:17.540 does his homework, as he showed when he destroyed the Democrats on the first impeachment trial

00:02:22.600 of President Trump.

00:02:24.020 The gentleman is recognized.

00:02:26.100 I just want to slow this down and be very methodical about it because most of us here

00:02:29.860 are attorneys. And in this case, we're supposed to also be finders of fact. And we're supposed

00:02:34.700 to carefully and objectively analyze the claims against the record. So let's do that.

00:02:39.560 There are two articles to this impeachment resolution, of course, abuse of power and

00:02:43.920 obstruction of justice. On the first, Democrats know there is zero direct evidence in the record

00:02:49.280 of these proceedings to show that President Trump engaged in any scheme of any kind, as

00:02:53.440 is alleged in the resolution, or that he intended in his dealings with Ukraine to influence the

00:02:58.500 2020 election. No impeachment should ever proceed on the basis of hearsay and conjecture

00:03:04.380 in speculation that wouldn't even be admissible in a local traffic court. And we say that

00:03:09.080 over and over.

00:03:09.700 To my friend Ms. Jayapal, there is simply no evidence of any condition. And I guess I need

00:03:16.440 to repeat the four indisputable facts again that are in this record, because repetition

00:03:21.000 apparently is really necessary here. First, both President Trump and Zelensky say there was

00:03:25.740 no pressure exerted. Number two, the July 25th call transcript shows no conditionality between

00:03:31.380 aid funding and an investigation. Number three, Ukraine was not aware of the aid, as has been

00:03:35.720 said over and over here, that it was being delayed. And number four, they never opened an

00:03:39.880 investigation. They still received the aid and they got the meeting.

00:03:43.060 This is all good stuff. He's quick. He's fast. He's conservative. And almost as important,

00:03:48.760 he appears able to unify the party. He's got support from the base. He's got support from the party

00:03:54.700 leader. And incredibly, after the last three weeks of congressional circus, not a single Republican

00:04:02.200 in the House voted against him. All's well that ends well. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael

00:04:07.780 Knowles Show. Welcome back to the show. This episode is brought to you by none other than Good

00:04:42.460 district to stop a mother from showing images from books that are available to students in the

00:04:50.180 school district. The images were obscene. So the cops actually came in to take the images away from her

00:04:55.600 and presumably to give those images to young children. We'll get to that in a second. First,

00:05:02.220 though, to close up on this speaker, this is a really good thing. In a way, I guess it vindicates

00:05:08.580 Matt Gaetz. I was a little skeptical of Gaetz. I was a little skeptical because I thought, yeah,

00:05:16.080 Kevin McCarthy, he's not great, but he's more conservative than Ryan. He's more conservative

00:05:20.960 than Boehner. He's arguably more conservative than Newt Gingrich. So he might be the most conservative

00:05:25.240 speaker Republicans have had since the 1950s in Joe Martin, which is damning with faint praise.

00:05:30.380 But I thought with a razor-thin majority, is there any way that conservatives would be able to get a

00:05:37.560 more favorable speaker? And then when it looked like we were going to be stuck with Tom Emmer,

00:05:43.140 who's a big squish lib, I thought, well, thanks a lot, Matt Gaetz. We kick out McCarthy, who was 1.00

00:05:48.620 not great, but he was fine. Then you give us Emmer, who's terrible. Well, a lot of good that did us.

00:05:53.560 But, look, Matt Gaetz took a big swing here. Matt Gaetz risked a lot of his political credibility,

00:06:01.200 and he won, at least for now. It remains to be seen because the Speaker of the House is not tasked

00:06:08.100 merely with writing laws or being really conservative and consistent or anything like that. He's tasked with

00:06:15.640 unifying the party, raising money, whipping votes. He's got to be able to do all those things. We'll see

00:06:20.280 if he can do it. But for now, we seem to be in a pretty good position. Now, Mike Johnson has,

00:06:26.180 despite all of this goodwill from conservatives, he's raised some eyebrows because as he took on

00:06:32.080 the gavel for the first time, he announced that his first order of business would not be to,

00:06:38.620 I don't know, bring jobs back to America, to secure the border, to bring back manufacturing,

00:06:46.380 to, I don't know, rev up the economy again, to restore law and order, to this, that, or the other

00:06:52.940 thing, that his first order of business would be to send money to Israel.

00:06:58.080 We're in a time of extraordinary crisis right now, and the world needs us to be strong. They need us

00:07:03.000 to remember our creed and our admonition. Turmoil and violence have rocked the Middle East

00:07:08.280 and Eastern Europe. We all know it. Intentions continue to build in the Indo-Pacific. The country

00:07:13.240 demands strong leadership of this body, and we must not waver. Our nation's greatest ally in the

00:07:20.260 Middle East is under attack. The first bill that I'm going to bring to this floor in just a little

00:07:25.380 while will be in support of our dear friend Israel, and we're overdue in getting that done.

00:07:30.620 We're going to show not only Israel, but the entire world, that the barbarism of Hamas that 0.98

00:07:47.860 we have all seen play out on our television screens is wretched and wrong, and we are going

00:07:53.280 to stand for the good in that conflict. Okay, this raised a lot of eyebrows, and there were a lot

00:08:00.240 of conservatives saying, hold on, I like Israel well enough. Bibi Netanyahu, he seems like a charming

00:08:06.160 man, but that's your first order of business? That couldn't be your second or third order of

00:08:11.700 business? You couldn't do something for America first? Well, isn't that the name of our new movement

00:08:17.640 is America first and make America great again? Why is your first order of business to give money

00:08:22.820 away to Israel? But I have a little bit of a more charitable read of what he's doing here,

00:08:28.060 and I think that Mike Johnson is clearly a clever guy, and I think this was actually a pretty smart

00:08:33.140 move because, one, the United States is going to fund Israel. It's just going to happen. 0.74

00:08:40.320 The congressmen can vote for it. They can not vote for it. It's not going to matter. They're going to

00:08:44.640 fund Israel. The American deep state funded Ukraine over the objections of American lawmakers,

00:08:50.700 and America has a much more tenuous relationship with Ukraine than we do with the state of Israel.

00:08:54.740 Israel. Remember how they did it back in the summer when Congress didn't want to take another 1.00

00:08:58.620 vote on funding Ukraine, so the State Department just found some money. The Pentagon just found some

00:09:03.600 money. They said, oh yeah, the weapons we gave them, it was actually, it was cheaper than we said they

00:09:06.980 were. So therefore, because we appropriated a certain amount of money that on our spreadsheets,

00:09:11.820 that frees up some money. So whatever, they get another six billion bucks.

00:09:14.480 We would have done that times a billion with Israel, okay? Israel just gets whatever it wants. 0.98

00:09:21.500 That was always going to happen, especially at a time of war like this where there are potentially

00:09:25.740 existential crises in the Middle East. So what Emmer does here is he's looking at a funding bill

00:09:33.680 that the Democrats were trying to tie Israel and Ukraine funding together. So Republicans don't want

00:09:41.160 to vote for Ukraine funding. A lot of them do want to vote for Israel funding. So ah, darn it,

00:09:46.140 we're going to have to vote to fund, we're going to have to vote to fund Ukraine as well. We're going 0.93

00:09:51.600 to have to vote to fund Taiwan. We're going to have to vote for $100 billion in military aid that we

00:09:57.140 don't want to vote on because we feel our hands are tied because we want to support Israel. So what

00:10:01.460 Emmer is doing here is he's saying, we're going to, first thing we're going to do, we're going to vote

00:10:05.660 to fund Israel and not Ukraine and not make it a hundred billion dollars and not tie it all

00:10:12.820 together. So it's a, it's a clever way of, without saying it explicitly, he's not coming out and

00:10:17.740 saying my first order of business is to defund the Ukraine war. He's saying my first order of 0.52

00:10:20.840 business is to fund the Israel war and thereby defund the Ukraine war. The other reason he's doing

00:10:25.900 this, I think, is because Israel is now a wedge issue for Democrats. It didn't used to be. Israel used 0.57

00:10:30.940 to be a unifying issue for both parties. Both parties, you know, you'd be far left Democrat,

00:10:34.820 far right Republican, everybody supported the state of Israel. You're seeing cracks now,

00:10:39.320 especially among the Democrats with the squad, with AOC, with Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, certainly,

00:10:45.220 and others. The far left Democrats are saying, we don't like Israel anymore. We support Palestine

00:10:49.420 from the river to the sea. Hamas will be free. And so they're going to vote against that. And it looks

00:10:53.920 really bad. Even the White House is dealing with this. Joe Biden's spokesman, Karine Jampier,

00:10:57.820 doesn't know how to answer questions about the Israel-Palestine conflict. She gets asked a question

00:11:02.580 about the White House response to anti-Semitism. She gives an answer about Islamophobia.

00:11:07.160 Because they're damned if they do, and they're damned if they don't. So by making this the first 0.86

00:11:10.980 order of business, everyone's going to be paying attention to this guy's first vote as Speaker of

00:11:16.480 the House. And he's going to be able to nail those Democrats. And whatever they do, it's going to hurt

00:11:21.580 their funding. Right now, you're seeing a lot of Jewish funders. We'll get to this hopefully a little

00:11:26.320 later today, if not at least maybe tomorrow. A lot of Jewish funders of big institutions,

00:11:32.040 big universities saying, hey, you guys are letting all these pro-Hamas people run wild. I'm going to

00:11:36.240 pull my money. I think the same thing is probably going to happen here with the Democrats who turn

00:11:41.040 on the state of Israel. They're going to lose money from pro-Israel funders. And there are plenty

00:11:45.220 of pro-Israel funders out there. Or conversely, if the Democrats come out in favor of voting for this

00:11:51.500 single vote to fund Israel, then they're going to lose a bunch of support from their base.

00:11:56.500 Their base like BLM, which is going out there, putting up big signs and posting photos to social

00:12:01.420 media in support of Hamas paragliders. So either way, they're getting hammered here.

00:12:06.960 And in the previous version of funding the war, the Democrats could have mollified their base by

00:12:11.340 saying, well, look, I was voting for Ukraine war funding, but I had to give some money to Israel,

00:12:15.600 even though I really hate Israel. But I had to do it to fund Ukraine and Taiwan, so forgive us. 0.99

00:12:19.600 And they would have gotten away with it. Here, there's some clarity.

00:12:22.180 If I were Speaker of the House, would I have made this the first order of business?

00:12:26.220 Probably not. But it's a pretty clever strategy, and it makes me feel pretty confident about the

00:12:34.620 way that this guy can move levers of power, the way that this guy can find his light and move the

00:12:40.400 mechanics of the House of Representatives. It remains to be seen if he can really succeed, but

00:12:44.660 it's looking good out the gate. When you want to look good, you got to check out Genucel.

00:14:07.660 took place, when Mike Johnson became the GOP nominee for speaker, as many others have before,

00:14:12.560 as Tom Emmer had, as Jim Jordan had, as Steve Scalise had, as obviously Kevin McCarthy had before.

00:14:19.980 When he became the nominee, Trump came out and he said, I back this guy.

00:14:25.360 Getting back to Congress, we think Mike Johnson's going to do really well. He's popular. He's smart.

00:14:31.760 He's sharp. He's going to be fantastic. I think he's going to be a fantastic speaker.

00:14:36.340 I believe that will happen. We'll see what, you'll let me know when I come out. I'll be out

00:14:40.480 in a couple of hours. Now, this was just after Donald Trump came out against the GOP nominee,

00:14:47.020 Tom Emmer. And so if you're Donald Trump today, you're feeling pretty good because your attack on

00:14:54.880 the GOP nominee for speaker seems to have worked because it deprived him of the job. It would have

00:15:00.800 been very awkward had Tom Emmer gotten the nomination. Then Trump came out and said, this guy's

00:15:04.980 terrible. He's not America first. He's not MAGA. You got to vote against him. And then the guy

00:15:09.580 becomes speaker. All of a sudden, Trump looks pretty weak as the leader of the party. But he

00:15:14.200 looked strong when he killed his candidacy and he looks strong now that they finally got Mike Johnson

00:15:17.980 through with a prominent endorsement from Donald Trump. So from the perspective of GOP unity, this is

00:15:25.640 a very good thing. And probably most Republicans are going to like that. Not everyone is going to like

00:15:31.540 that this helps to solidify Donald Trump as the leader of the party.

00:15:36.140 But I think everybody is going to like that the GOP at least in some ways can come together. It

00:15:40.500 looks like the GOP has these irreconcilable factions. But here, the GOP was able to come

00:15:47.400 together. They do have a clear leader in Trump, even if a lot of Republicans don't like him very much.

00:15:52.900 Overall, that's a win. That's a win for the party. It's separately a win for Trump.

00:15:59.920 That's separately a win for Matt Gaetz, whose political career was really on the line.

00:16:03.900 And I was very skeptical of his move to oust McCarthy. For now, at least, it seems to have

00:16:09.940 paid off. Now, speaking of Republican presidential candidates, Ron DeSantis, also making big moves down

00:16:15.560 in Florida. He has ordered Florida schools to shut down the Students for Justice in Palestine groups.

00:16:23.700 Governor DeSantis directed Ray Rodriguez, who's the chancellor of the State University System of

00:16:29.000 Florida, to send notices to UF and University of South Florida, notifying them to deactivate

00:16:36.760 chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine. And the reason for this, DeSantis argues, is that

00:16:42.560 those groups broke Florida laws about terrorism. Here's what DeSantis said. During a holy Jewish holiday,

00:16:48.700 holiday, which is a little repetitive, right? A holiday is a holy day. Anyway, I'm nitpicking

00:16:53.080 on language. During a holy Jewish holiday, the recognized terrorist organization Hamas launched

00:16:57.180 an unprovoked attack on Israel. Among those killed were babies, women, and elderly. Oh, this is Rodriguez

00:17:02.140 who said this. To date, approximately 1,400 Israelis have been killed, including 31 American citizens.

00:17:09.060 Governor DeSantis, our state university system, and the Florida college system have condemned

00:17:13.300 these attacks. There are some conservatives here who are attacking DeSantis for doing this.

00:17:20.620 And they're attacking DeSantis because they say this is an attack on free speech.

00:17:26.200 I think what DeSantis is doing, in principle, is terrific. I think this is great. In fact,

00:17:31.420 this is exactly the sort of thing that I call for in my book, Speechless, Controlling Words,

00:17:37.360 Controlling Minds, number one national bestseller, available for you to order right now wherever

00:17:40.760 fine books are sold. This is exactly the sort of thing that I'm calling for in Speechless.

00:17:46.500 My only holdup, I didn't even catch myself saying it that time. Speechless.

00:17:54.920 No, you guys are slow. You didn't expect the third one. I got to get those producers a little

00:17:58.860 faster. My only holdup on what Governor DeSantis is doing here is it doesn't go far enough.

00:18:06.740 My only holdup here is this is the first time. This is a relatively modest way for conservatives to

00:18:14.120 begin wielding political and cultural power to shape norms and standards. In principle, I think it

00:18:20.360 is a perfectly fine thing to do for the state to pass laws against, in this case, taxpayer subsidized

00:18:29.280 support for speech promoting terrorism. But does it only apply to Hamas and Israel? This is the only 0.81

00:18:37.360 time we're going to use this kind of a law when it applies to pro-Palestine protesters. What about

00:18:43.820 pro-Antifa and pro-BLM protesters? Antifa is a terror organization. I say this having been the target of

00:18:51.500 Antifa on at least one occasion when they tried to blow me up at the University of Pittsburgh last

00:18:55.240 spring. Antifa exists to target and harm and kill civilians to achieve political objectives. That is as

00:19:04.360 basic a definition of terrorism as it is. So are we going to shut down student groups who support

00:19:10.700 Antifa? I hope so. I hope they use this law for that purpose. What about BLM? BLM is a terror

00:19:16.260 organization. It's a little bit of a harder argument with BLM because their rhetoric at least is somewhat

00:19:22.240 softer. But BLM in practice exercised terrorist campaigns on the United States. BLM in practice

00:19:32.160 attacked businesses, looted, robbed, killed people, killed dozens of people, attacked civilians to

00:19:38.980 achieve a political objective. That is the most basic definition of terrorism that is. So are we

00:19:44.100 going to see the government come in and clamp down using this kind of a law on BLM? I hope so. 1.00

00:19:52.060 This is a good thing in principle. But if it only applies to this narrow conflict of Israel versus

00:19:59.440 Palestine, then it seems very suspect. It seems to be haphazardly and only narrowly enforced.

00:20:08.060 But it's a good principle. The conservatives who are attacking DeSantis over some attack on free

00:20:12.180 speech or whatever, they're misguided here. In principle, this is the right thing. In principle,

00:20:16.000 this is what conservatives have always done. This is what all societies do because all societies have

00:20:20.340 standards and norms. This is certainly what the left has done toward ends of injustice and evil.

00:20:24.660 We should use these sorts of tactics in a just and moral way to achieve good ends and political

00:20:31.460 flourishing. We just got to do it more often and in more circumstances. Now, this letter from

00:22:46.280 slash shop. Marvelous. Speaking of wielding government power, there's a woman who, as a 1.00

00:22:59.040 young teenager, was pumped full of testosterone and underwent hormone therapy and was told that

00:23:06.660 she was really a boy, not just by weirdos on the internet or even in her school, but by doctors.

00:23:13.500 And she is now suing her doctors and the American Academy of Pediatrics for knowingly lying about the

00:23:23.600 impact of these radical, gender-affirming, ridiculous euphemism, the sex change. That's 0.64

00:23:30.480 another ridiculous euphemism. These butcher procedures. This is according to a copy of the 0.98

00:23:35.640 lawsuit that the Daily Wire exclusively has obtained. So she's suing her doctors as a lot of

00:23:40.980 us predicted would happen. So the way that this gender mania is going to come to an end is when you 1.00

00:23:46.020 start to see lawsuits from poor little kids and teenagers who were led astray by their parents and

00:23:50.840 their teachers and their doctors. They're doctors who took a Hippocratic Oath. They're doctors who

00:23:54.460 should have known better and led into experimental treatments that would render them sterile in a lot

00:23:58.880 of cases, that would give them all sorts of health problems, that would lead to an early death in a lot

00:24:03.100 of cases, that would not fix the problems they were intended to fix, depression and anxiety and

00:24:08.400 suicidality. In fact, the largest analyses we have on the effects of these kinds of treatments,

00:24:13.500 hormonal and surgical, show that they don't really help in any of those cases. And in fact,

00:24:17.340 in one category, in anxiety, they seem to make things worse. And when these poor people who had

00:24:24.320 been brainwashed and led astray, when they started suing, then you might see some real action here.

00:24:31.700 And this woman is suing not only her doctors, but the American Academy of Pediatrics. That's the key 0.67

00:24:38.220 here. We have got to go after the institutions. It's not enough to go and make an example of one or two

00:24:43.500 people. It's not enough to go get some doctor's license taken away because the doctor's a quack 0.97

00:24:48.160 who's chopping up little kids. You've got to go after the institutions. That's how we took down

00:24:52.660 the Ku Klux Klan. That's how we took down the Italian mafia. You don't just pick off one guy or

00:24:58.300 this guy or that guy. You've got to be able to take down the whole organization. We've got to do the

00:25:03.500 same thing here with groups like the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

00:25:07.960 There are a few other of the obstetrics lobbies this way, where it sounds like a perfectly ordinary

00:25:15.580 scientific medical organization. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

00:25:20.980 In reality, this is a radical pro-abortion lobby. Okay, and that's very bad. There are pro-life

00:25:26.940 obstetrician lobbies too. We should make those lobbies more prominent. We should go after and try to take

00:25:34.140 down the radical pro-abortion groups and the radical pro-sexual mutilation groups and all of

00:25:40.520 the other radical groups. You've got to go after the organizations. You're never going to win by just

00:25:47.220 picking off one or two members here. You never would have taken down the Ku Klux Klan just picking 0.65

00:25:52.140 off one or two members. You never would have taken down the mob by picking off one or two members.

00:25:56.580 Speaking of weird sex stuff, there is a trans Netflix writer who is seeking a sperm donor 0.89

00:26:05.320 through a live show. Here it is. 0.96

00:26:10.000 Come on a journey with performance artist Krishna Istha, who is searching for their perfect sperm donor.

00:26:19.500 Smile, Krishna.

00:26:20.520 Krishna. A groundbreaking theater show challenging expectations and redefining family creation as a

00:26:28.800 transgender person. Krishna asks the hard-hitting questions.

00:26:33.460 When was the last time you lied? Do you like spicy food? Are there queer people in your life? 1.00

00:26:37.420 Early bird or night owl? Which one are you? Have you watched The Prince's Diaries?

00:26:41.400 This groundbreaking theater show has won hundreds of BAFTA awards.

00:26:45.680 No, it hasn't.

00:26:46.720 Yes, it has.

00:26:48.240 Go in a BAFTA for a theater show and you've got the vibe wrong.

00:26:53.180 Witness intimate interviews live on stage between Krishna and hundreds of participants

00:26:58.460 in a quest to find Krishna the perfect sperm donor. Book your tickets today.

00:27:04.920 So, Krishna is a chick, I guess, with a mustache, who identifies as a man or something thereabouts. 0.77

00:27:17.600 And Krishna's partner, I guess, must also be a chick or somehow sterile because he or she 1.00

00:27:23.740 cannot make a child with Krishna. So, Krishna wants a sperm donor so that she can 0.70

00:27:31.240 beget a child from some random person who will probably not have very much to do with that

00:27:40.780 child's life and put that child in a very depraved situation of upbringing that will result in the

00:27:48.680 child's maleducation and all sorts of psychological and maybe spiritual problems with no regard for the

00:27:56.080 child and only regard for herself and her own entertainment career. It's all just a big show.

00:28:03.880 It's a big funny joke and a game. The procreation of a child is all, it's like buying a handbag or

00:28:13.240 doing a little comedy bit. You know, it's just something to accent one's lifestyle, just a way to

00:28:18.260 make people laugh. It's not love in any real sense. It's not willing the good of the child in any way.

00:28:24.620 It's just, just acquisitive and selfish. Okay. Enough haranguing this confused person.

00:28:33.800 How did we get here? That's not a rhetorical question.

00:28:39.680 That is to say, I'm not, I'm not just going to let that. I actually, I know how we got here.

00:28:44.040 I know, at least some of the things that must have gone wrong in this person's life and in our society

00:28:50.500 to lead to this point. Certainly the gender ideology, that was a big part of it. Convincing 1.00

00:28:56.580 women that they can become men, that, that led to part of this depraved situation. Certainly the 1.00

00:29:01.600 redefinition and practical abolition of marriage as the fundamental social institution.

00:29:07.540 That was not that long ago. It was codified into law by Joe Biden and the Democrats back in December.

00:29:11.680 It was passed by the Supreme Court, what, seven, eight years ago in a ridiculous decision that

00:29:17.740 rewrote the constitution. Okay. But, but it went back a little further than that.

00:29:23.480 Went back probably to the normalization of all sorts of weird decadent sex stuff in public life.

00:29:29.020 Where did we get that from? We got that from certain Supreme Court decisions, decisions like

00:29:33.560 Eisenstadt, decisions like Griswold versus Connecticut, decisions that found a constitutional

00:29:42.700 right to all sorts of weird sex toys and accoutrement. Okay. Then that just codified a contraceptive

00:29:50.980 mentality and culture that was affirmed by all sorts of religious organizations, notably the

00:29:56.140 mainline Protestant churches through Lambeth and other declarations that said that contraception is

00:30:02.300 totally fine. The normalization of contraception that decoupled sex from its logical end and highest 0.68

00:30:09.980 purpose, which is procreation. That would be part of it. But even further back, the social normalization

00:30:17.500 of certain depraved acts that would even lead to the possibility of sperm donation, which was the point

00:30:24.100 of this show, which for most of human history has been considered sinful and evil. And at the very

00:30:30.660 least not something one wishes to brag about and now is totally normalized and is actually encouraged by

00:30:35.040 public health organizations as a positive good for individual flourishing. And it goes back further than

00:30:41.020 that. It goes back even further, but we'll leave it at least there. My point being, to quote the butler in the

00:30:47.440 first season of The Crown, it's in the little things that the rot begins. This didn't happen overnight. This

00:30:54.280 happened over the course of at least a century and really more than a century. Because then you can

00:30:59.760 ask yourself, well, how on earth did these religious organizations even garner the authority to be able

00:31:04.220 to make these kinds of claims, to be able to erode the traditional moral framework and sexual ethic of

00:31:09.460 the West? And, you know, it goes on more than a few centuries back. It's in the small things that the

00:31:16.060 rot begins. And so you're not going to address these problems merely by putting a little salve on the

00:31:22.480 latest symptom. I think there are a lot of people who say, look, the libs have gone too far. All of a

00:31:28.720 sudden, I'm kind of conservative, I guess. And there are a lot of conservatives who say, hey, we've got to

00:31:33.180 give up on basic issues in order to win over the center leftists. So we got to give up on marriage,

00:31:43.540 let's say. But as long as we can fight radical gender ideology, well, not on adults, but on children

00:31:47.280 at least, on really little children. That's a good idea. There was a writer, goodness sakes, there's a

00:31:51.900 writer for National Review, which was once considered the most prominent, most important

00:31:57.960 conservative journal. This writer, Noah Rothman, who was complaining before Mike Johnson was elected

00:32:04.520 speaker without a single Republican voting against him. He was complaining. He said, oh no, this

00:32:10.140 speaker candidate, here we go. He questioned the 2020 election and he did this and he did that.

00:32:16.100 And he opposes same-sex marriage. This writer for what was once considered the premier conservative

00:32:21.240 magazine was complaining that the conservative Republican speaker of the House candidate

00:32:29.980 defended marriage. That he held the view of marriage that was held by everyone everywhere

00:32:35.400 on earth for all of history until around 2015 or so. That this conservative speaker of the House

00:32:41.540 candidate held the view of marriage that Barack Obama held in 2011. That he didn't hold a view that

00:32:48.020 Obama considered far too radical as late as 2011. That's conservatism? No. No, conservatives,

00:32:56.760 you can't give up. You can't give up on the fundamental political unit, guys. You can't give

00:33:01.380 up on marriage, on the atomic unit of society, for goodness sakes. And you're not going to fix any of

00:33:09.160 the problems by putting a salve on the latest symptoms. You got to go back a little further.

00:33:12.560 If you want to undo or solve whatever problems led to the transgender Netflix special on seeking

00:33:23.020 sperm donors for sexually ambiguous and confused people and their partners, you're going to have

00:33:28.880 to go back a little bit further in philosophy and history and thinking than 2015. Okay? Sorry for the

00:33:39.280 weak-kneed and the squishies in the Republican Party. But you're going to have to be a little tougher than 0.94

00:33:43.360 that. Now, on the one hand, the powers that be are peddling this stuff out in the open. This is a

00:33:50.020 Netflix performer. On the other hand, though, the powers that be deny it and cover it up. So they want

00:33:58.960 to peddle it and they want to be proud of it and they want to normalize it for as many people as are

00:34:02.660 receptive to it. But then when people are not receptive to it and they start to push back against it,

00:34:06.480 like parents, for instance, at their school board meetings, then they've got to deny it. Like when

00:34:10.220 this mother came out and she said, hey, these are the kind of books and images and materials that are

00:34:15.300 being presented to our children, to minors. This is it. She starts to read it at a school board meeting

00:34:20.140 and they send in the cops. This is shameful, base, and degrading. All seven members of the committee

00:34:28.220 were also asked to look at this image. This was in the book and they all unanimously said that this,

00:34:38.920 and along with that 15 page, okay, this is in children's libraries here in Hillsborough County,

00:34:46.120 approved by that committee unanimously at Plant Hyatt. It's in multiple schools.

00:34:50.900 There's 10 images of that woman's naked breasts in that book. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. 0.96

00:34:57.480 The cop just comes over. He even, he seems kind of sorry about it, doesn't he? He's,

00:35:05.080 I'm sorry, ma'am, I just, I have to take this down. I'm not,

00:35:07.800 I'm not allowed to let you show this smut. Yeah, of course you're not allowed to show that smut. 1.00

00:35:14.920 Naturally, this is wrong for adults to see, and it's obviously wrong for children to see.

00:35:23.720 This is an issue though, where the parents need to just keep pushing. This is a total winner. You know

00:35:29.620 that when the liberals send in the power of the police to stop them, you know that they are on the

00:35:36.920 right track. Now it's time for the final episode of Convicting a Murderer. If you are not convinced

00:35:44.620 that Stephen Avery is guilty, you will be after the finale. Candace is finally bringing an end to

00:35:48.960 the nightmare that Making a Murderer created. They claimed that Stephen Avery was a victim of

00:35:53.720 corrupt law enforcement, which is what they do. They demonize the police. Candace is going to show you

00:35:57.820 who the real villain is in this final episode. Take a look.

00:36:01.660 Coming up on the finale of Convicting a Murderer. How were these filmmakers able to convince so many

00:36:08.820 people that a man like Stephen Avery is innocent? The only story they wanted to tell was one of

00:36:14.700 police corruption. They were committed to a story. He's doing a good job. He's doing a lot of

00:36:20.400 investigations. They were looking into things for him. He's doing more than the public defender and my

00:36:26.000 investigator. They were Stephen Avery's PR team. They convinced millions of people that they were

00:36:32.180 innocent. Emails show that they were providing plenty of direction, that the Averys were to look

00:36:36.920 like a close-knit family. Manitowoc County officers were to look suspicious. I think I will forever be

00:36:42.120 obsessed with the media's ability to turn a villain into a hero or a hero into a villain.

00:36:48.420 If they could do it to me, they can do it to anybody else.

00:36:51.840 You can binge all 10 episodes now, but only if you're a Daily Wire Plus member. So sign up today

00:37:09.140 from Kevin, who says, hey, Michael, I think blood transfusions can change personality. It's incumbent

00:37:14.700 on all conservatives to give more blood. That's a great point. You know, I read that survey that

00:37:21.540 study that showed that organ donations might be able to change people's personalities. I know it

00:37:26.880 seems weird, but scientists have seen evidence of this, including blood transfusions. So you're

00:37:31.380 right. I guess my first response to that was, man, I don't want anything to do with blood transfusions

00:37:36.780 unless I'm dying, in which case I guess I would probably accept one. But maybe you're right. Maybe

00:37:41.480 we can game the system. Let's be clever about this. We all just start donating blood and we just make

00:37:46.100 everyone super conservative. It's a great idea. Unless it's already conservatives who are receiving

00:37:51.380 our blood because the libs have been attacking us, which is increasingly likely. Well, all right, 0.98

00:37:55.980 let's see. Maybe it would have an impact. Now, speaking of schools, I alluded to this earlier in the

00:38:01.640 show. Billionaire Ron Lauder of Estee Lauder has just threatened to pull funding from UPenn

00:38:09.900 over UPenn's embrace of anti-Semitism. Ron Lauder is a Republican megadonor. He gives a lot of money

00:38:19.740 to UPenn, his alma mater. He's the president of the World Jewish Congress, which is an international

00:38:24.580 organization. And he had already said to Penn that he was going to re-examine his donations here

00:38:30.000 because UPenn seems to be allowing these students to support Hamas over the state of Israel.

00:38:38.140 Once again, there are some conservatives here who are saying, well, that's crazy. We need to

00:38:45.160 support free speech, even if the students want to go out and support Hamas or something like that.

00:38:49.980 I think, though, I see this move from Ron Lauder. I think this is brilliant. Of course. The only thing

00:38:57.140 I'm somewhat scandalized by is why was this guy giving money to UPenn in the first place?

00:39:02.500 Ron Lauder is a conservative Republican. Ron Lauder shouldn't be supporting the Ivy League. I mean,

00:39:06.680 listen, I don't want to tell billionaires what to do with their money, but there are a lot of

00:39:10.180 conservative donors who do this, who, because they're alumni of schools or because they've had

00:39:15.980 some relationship with an institution in the past, they just give money reflexively. They got a lot

00:39:20.620 of money to give. It's a rounding error for them. But those organizations aren't what they used to be.

00:39:25.240 They've become very leftist in recent years, and sometimes the donors don't even realize it.

00:39:29.260 And in this case, Ron Lauder, a Jewish donor, is noticing it because the institution is now

00:39:36.600 encouraging students to support Hamas. And because the Ivy League broadly has a problem

00:39:43.220 of professors now supporting Hamas. And Lauder says, okay, well, I'm pulling my money.

00:39:47.960 I think that's the right thing to do for Lauder to pull his money, but I would go further.

00:39:52.760 I think all conservatives should be acting this way, and not only on the issue of Israel-Palestine.

00:39:57.600 They should be acting this way on all sorts of issues. It's not as though universities are just

00:40:02.500 now uniquely attacking the Jewish state. Universities for years, for decades, have

00:40:08.460 attacked white people. They've held courses and seminars about how we need to abolish whiteness. 0.84

00:40:13.940 Why are white people still giving money to the universities? The universities have come out

00:40:17.900 explicitly and said, we don't like white people. We think it's bad to be a white person. We want to 0.97

00:40:22.220 punish white people. We want to discriminate against white people. As a matter of university policy, 1.00

00:40:27.320 for one, and as a matter of law in our country, and certainly as a matter of cultural practice.

00:40:33.680 So why are white people giving money to these universities? Often it's white liberals who are

00:40:37.280 donating anyway. That's very bad. White people should not be giving money to institutions that

00:40:43.320 explicitly hate white people. That's crazy. What about Christians? These universities are almost all 1.00

00:40:48.960 extremely anti-Christian. Christians should pull their funding. Why on earth are we giving money to 1.00

00:40:54.880 anti-Christian organizations? All these groups are very anti-male in the name of feminism. They attack 0.56

00:41:01.640 men. They say men are toxic. Why are men giving money to these organizations? All of these groups 0.78

00:41:07.400 promote all sorts of weird sex stuff. They're explicitly anti-heterosexual. They're anti-family. 0.68

00:41:12.160 They're anti-marriage. Why are normal people in normal marriages with normal sexual practices,

00:41:19.340 why are they giving money to these groups? Let's all take a lesson from Ron Lauder here.

00:41:24.220 Ron Lauder being extremely involved in Jewish activism is obviously keenly tuned in to what's

00:41:30.640 going on in the Israel-Palestine conflict. He says, I'm pulling my money because you're not being nice to

00:41:34.860 the Jews. Yeah, we should apply that principle to so many other identity categories. And we don't do 1.00

00:41:42.480 that, but we certainly should. It is suicide to me when I see conservatives giving money to these

00:41:48.480 extremely leftist organizations. And it applies to any number of categories of identity groups.

00:41:56.440 Now, speaking of Israel and the war in the Middle East, Israel was supposed to invade Gaza

00:42:01.800 right away. That was the plan. Right after the terror attack that killed over a thousand Israelis

00:42:07.160 and harmed a lot of other people and resulted in lots of innocents, very young and elderly being

00:42:13.560 killed, Israel was going to invade Gaza. And then they delayed. And Israel has just agreed to delay

00:42:19.320 again this expected invasion of Gaza so that the U.S. can rush some more missiles and missile defenses 0.62

00:42:25.620 to the region to protect U.S. troops there. This is what the Wall Street Journal is reporting.

00:42:30.720 U.S. officials have persuaded the state of Israel to hold off until U.S. air defense systems can be

00:42:36.540 placed in the region for the protection of U.S. troops who are stationed in Iraq, in Syria, and

00:42:42.400 elsewhere, and presumably for the defense of the Israeli state as well, which the United States has

00:42:48.060 protected for a long time. I get why the United States government is asking for this, I guess,

00:42:57.160 though I don't really trust Joe Biden or much of the top brass at the Pentagon to conduct our

00:43:01.540 foreign policy. But I think this is a bad move. I think that if the state of Israel is going to

00:43:07.360 attack Gaza, which it has to, I think, it certainly is well within its rights to attack Gaza after the 1.00

00:43:13.000 terror attack launched by the elected authority that governs Gaza. If it's going to happen, it's got to

00:43:19.920 happen quickly. Because every day that this gets delayed, the state of Israel loses public support.

00:43:27.060 Immediately after the terror attack, Israel had widespread, if not unanimous, public support.

00:43:34.680 But every day that just the shelling goes on and the church gets destroyed because of an Israeli 1.00

00:43:41.020 missile and a hospital is destroyed, actually, maybe, likely from a Palestinian missile, but it doesn't

00:43:48.260 matter in the public view. People are not going to believe that. Israel is going to lose public

00:43:53.320 support by the day. And furthermore, every day this goes on and the U.S. rushes more defense and

00:44:00.960 weapons systems over to the Middle East, maybe over to the state of Israel, it further implicates the

00:44:06.720 United States in this war. And it pulls us into this war more and more, which very few Americans want.

00:44:12.600 Very, very few Americans want the United States to get involved in a protracted ground war in the

00:44:18.720 Middle East because of a conflict in Israel-Palestine that has gone back over a century that really dates

00:44:25.560 back millennia. Very few people who are pushing for that. A lot of people want to defend the Jewish

00:44:30.860 state, meaning we send money, we protect them diplomatically, we do whatever. But there is a very low

00:44:37.160 appetite in America for U.S. troops to get involved in another endless war in the Middle East. Every day

00:44:45.060 this goes on, every new missile system that the United States sends over there, the more likely the

00:44:50.780 U.S. gets implicated in this war. I see why Israel is doing it. And frankly, Netanyahu might be doing 0.56

00:44:56.020 this because the U.S. says, we're going to force you to delay the invasion of Gaza. But if it's going to

00:45:01.640 happen, I don't see how the position of Israel or the United States improves by delaying things

00:45:09.540 if it is going to happen anyway. In fact, it just seems to make everything worse and more dangerous,

00:45:14.660 which is the Joe Biden foreign policy. So of course, that was the case. Now, speaking of war

00:45:19.460 and U.S. troops, we have got a Medal of Honor recipient coming on this show in the member block.
